Downloading Files In Netscape

We were recently asked if it's possible to download a file directly to a floppy disk using Netscape. Yes, it is possible. However, you need to make sure that the file will fit on a single floppy disk. Any file smaller than about 1.3MB should fit provided you insert a completely blank formatted floppy disk.

With the disk in place, click the download URL as usual. When the Save As dialog box opens, select the floppy Drive A and click Save. Don't forget that you'll have to change back to your hard disk folder for your next download. Netscape always attempts to save to the last selected folder.

Music On The Hard Drive

To copy a CD's music to your hard drive, click the CD Audio button while in the Windows Me Media Player, then unselect those titles you do NOT want. Go to Tools, then Options and make sure that Digital Copying is selected within the CD Audio Tab. Click OK. Click the Copy Music button on the toolbar. The button will change to Stop Copy while copying. The music will then be copied automatically to your "My Music" folder within "My Documents."

If, after pressing the Copy Music, you get an error stating that your CD does not support digital formats, and switches the format to Analogue, your CD player may not support Digital CD playing and the quality might not be as good. The files, however, will still copy. Remember to observe all copyright laws when duplicating music.

Sort The Start Menu

In Windows Me, after adding many programs to the Start menu, it can get overwhelmed with names. Right click in the Start Menu and select "Sort By name" to make your search easier.
