so i'm trying to rar my sound library that is about 6 gigs, this way i can burn it onto some disks.
obviously 6 gigs wont fit on a disk, so i tell winrar to split up the archive into bits of 700mb. apparently, you need to type the "mb" and not just 700, because the program thinks its just 700 b i guess.
all i know is 30 seconds into it i had 20,957 litte rar files on my desktop. thank god i aborted mission.
here is a picture so you can all laugh at my blunder..

I never download anything, copy anything or put anything on my desktop! Desktop is the place for shortcuts!

hahah that is funny :)

I use my desktop for everything I download - if I Dont, chances are I would forget I even got it! I have to keep my desktop very clean so if there is a new icon on there, I notice - it's kind of like reminding myself.

Very good Red.. that's a great pic :)

For some reason i delete my cookies manualy. Once there was about a thousand or so. I opened the cookies folder, went edit select all and instead of hitting the delete key i hit enter and then spent the next 1/2 hour closing 1000 .txt files.

I hate when that happens.

Hehehe, thats funny :)

When I was younger, with our old b/w Dos PC I deleted the autoexec.bat file and config.sys file because I didn't know what they were, and they were making a mess of the prompt... Needless to say my dad was a bit annoyed with me! After that he backed each of them up in 3 seperate places so he wouldn't have to write them out again!
