    Windows Explorer

    Could somebody upload their Explorer.exe from Windows 2000? Mine's acting all screwy: programs that normally minimize to the system tray all of a sudden just hang out in the taskbar now.

    Check it out: Bulletproof, Winamp, Weatherbug, and Winamp Spy-O-Matic should all be in the system tray. Grr.

    I did (which takes 7 minutes because I have three servers starting up along with my computer).

    Are you using XP filburt? I noticed in your popup thread the window looked like XP, and your IE logo in the taskbar looks like XP too.

    Well if you don't use XP you should. Although 2000 is good to but i like XP better. At least you arent' useing 98 or me or 95 or nt (which i think is a piece of crap and YES I KNOW XP IS NT but i don't like the old version.

    Just upload it using my upload form (you'll have to zip it because I disallowed EXEs)

    I used XP for 4 months and it grew so unstable that I reformatted and put 2000 back on. Also how the hell can an OS take up more than 1 GB!?

    Other than going through my avatars and probably vandalizing them you didn't upload anything:

    Eh, did it tell you that it uploaded successfully?

    *downloads from your server*

    I just did that; it's because you tried to upload the EXE when the page rejects EXEs, PIFs, BATs, and JSPs.

    I put yours on but *stream of profanities* didn't work. Perhaps reinstalling SP2 will do something?

    Ah, a reboot after copying the file (even though I terminated the process first) fixed it. Thanks Justin.
