Stupid windows, can't do anything,

Then don't use it.

Why do people constantly blame the operating system for their own ineptness? A simple command line at the cmd prompt will do the trick...

Say in C drive you have a folder named test3, and in that folder you have 5 sub-folders called t1, b2, c3, h4, k5. Also in C: you have a file called test1.txt. Typing the following at the command prompt:

for /R C:\test3 %a in (.) do copy C:\test1.txt %a

will copy the file C:\test1.txt to folder C:\test3 and any sub-folder in C:\test3 (so now t1, b2, c3, h4, and k5 will have test1.txt in it).

type some lines in VB and you'll be done within ~2 minutes.

Well you can't paste an html file or any file into 1000 folders simultaneously so I spent 20 minutes doing that
Then also the taskbar always pops when I don't want it to

That is handy though, put the task bar on the left and have it on auto hide

Also windows can't manage memory for shit but I do see 5-11 days of uptime often

What operating system do you normally use?

i might do shit the hard way... but running php on windows makes little tasks like this cake

Exaxtly. People just don't know how to do things and then blame the OS. You can't expect MS developers to make a button for every task that they can think of.

Come on now being able to paste into several folders at once is something they should have included in Windows 2000 - it's not for idiots who play video games, it's for business!

**Klen** · 10-02-2006, 03:49 AM

For automated tasks best is use macro programs or simply batch commands.

Try the Ubuntu 6.06 LTS distro of Linux.

Great alternative to Windows.

**E$_manager** · 10-02-2006, 05:24 AM

**KRL** · 10-02-2006, 05:24 AM

This is a really cool concept also. A web based OS called YouOS.

Ugh... it is included. See my post and learn how to use the command prompt for fuck's sake.

I am doing fine with my Windows. If i ahve problem, i check the system and there are viruses. You have to reinstall it still may be once a year or half year.

Don't you know that Billy will zap your hard drive for using DOS

Well he sure has gone out of his way to HIDE it from us so I forgot to learn it
Sorry about that,
It looks like in this case I am a victim of my own ignorance
That does not happen often

No money to be made on this internet.
Move along stupid!

**MrMaxwell** · 10-03-2006, 06:01 PM

I changed my mind,
Windows ought to allow you to do something so simple through the gui
DOS isn't windows!

PS: How can I have multiple files with the same name?
Another stupid windows inability grrrrrrr

Stupid windows, can't do anything,
