you have to right click on the .INF files, an option will appear, says
Install. The rest is self explanetory :)

First off, the missing icons in my control panel suddenly showed back up a
week or so ago! I have no idea why!

Second, I don't have Tweak UI. I know it is in the Power Toys but how do I
install it. The Power Toys seems to be a zip file with no install/setup
program.

It's there but that is apparently not the icon. If I click on that file it
runs the program that allows me to change the DISPLAY settings. How do I get
the icon back?

Well, first go to Start-Find-Files or folder
enter *.cpl and hit browse.

You should see a list of 15 or so (I have 17) files. You're looking for
DESK.CPL. It should be in the \windows\system sub directory.

If it isn't then put it there.

If you don't find it at all I would suggest reinstalling windows or maybe try
copying just that file from a friend and putting it into the system direcory.

It's my fear though that if one file is erased then maybe more are???

Good luck.

If you are referring to me, I request you go back AND READ MY MESSAGE!

If you have a machine with 32+ MB ram, then you will get faster disk
caching by setting your puter type to "Network Server". Unfortunately, idiot
Microsoft set the caching patterns for Network Server to match "Desktop
Computer"!
I said NOTHING about Smartdrv. I am talking about fixing a massive bug
in the INTERNAL DISK CACHING SYSTEM.

I tried SmartDrive on Win95.....it ran sooooooo slooooowww......killed that
one in a heartbeat :)

I didn't notice any speed difference with the internal cache all the way left
or right......but I left it all the way to the left just to be sure :)

here's a good one for you.........

I am currently in the process of setting up my own VA BBS....It's going to be
ran out of Win95.......It runs real fast in full screen mode.....slows way
down in a box......the thing is.......If I leave it alone (the BBS), the
"properties" changes on me.....and nothing/no one can dial in......the
property that changes is the "Background"|"always suspend" switch....it always
turns itself on.......I don't trust that one......any idea as to why it does t
his on it's own?

I'm afraid to leave the thing alone by itself now :)

thanks!

Okay. THE MORE RAM WITH WIN95, THE BETTER. The heart beats at 8 megs, the
blood moves at 16, but it really isn't until 32 megs that the legs actually
start to move. With Windows 95, adding more ram can speed things up more
than a processor upgrade!

As for the whole 640k thing, this is still true ONLY FOR 16-BIT APPLICATIONS.
DOS and Win 3.1 apps will still have to work under the 640k limit even in
Win95. Fortnately, Windows' virtual device drivers free up a LOT of
conventional memory.

And NUTS to that guy who claimed to speed up Win95 with SmartDrive. You
cannot speed up Win95 by taking ram away from it. Use the internal disk
caching instead, it's in System Properties, under the Performance tab. Set
it as far to the right as you feel comfortable with. Win95 will tell you how
much ram you just reserved for disk caching.

Any questions? Comments?
