    Resolved [RESOLVED] Progress animation

    Hi guys

    I am after a specific animation for when some subs are being executed i seen it before but i can't thing where its like a circle split into 5/7 pieces and they kind of revolve by fading each segment. i know this is kinda vague i am just hoping some one knows what i mean.
    If not ill have a go at making one my self thanks anyway

    Re: Progress animation

    To be honest i am not completely sure i just remember seeing it and thought it looked nice if you run mozilla it has a similar thing in the top right when executing but is smaller. don't worry to much i am sure with a few hrs i can make a small animation just thought if some one knew from my discritption then i would go get it and save my self some work

    Maybe its an avi animation file. Check in your ...

    ?:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\COMMON\Graphics\Videos directory for starters or search your system for *.avi to see all

    Off topic... but, can "Program Files" even be in a different drive then "C"? I think Windows don't allow that...

    Yes, it can. I used to have a D drive that had all my programs installed on. The C drive was just for the OS.

    I thought OS puts "Program Files" on the same drive as it's located. Live & learn

    It does but you just dont use it. The environment vars for PF may still point to the C drive but if you really wanted you could edit them and point them to D and remove the C drives default PF directory or move the default items like Accessories to the D drive so you wont lose them

    I'm pretty sure all of the special folders can be moved to a different drive/folder than usual, and can even have different names too. The important thing is that Windows knows about it (as programs should ask Windows!), so you need to follow certain procedures to do it properly (which I think differs by folder).

    On this PC I've moved "Documents and Settings" to make backups easier.. it's quite amusing how many programs (even a couple of famous ones) haven't noticed, and just use the default instead.
