Correct, linney, I am talking about AutoComplete. But my question is not about enabling/disabling or clearing the list...my question is about whether it is possible to add a specific UNC to the list without perturbing RunMRU.

If I use Start->Run to browse to a UNC by entering two backslashes, the droplist is populated with a long list of UNCs I have visited. Most of these UNCs are *not* under the RunMRU registry key. So, two questions: 1. The UNCs listed that are *not* in RunMRU - where on the system are they kept...

Just what I needed, olded - much obliged. Here's your star. GD

Good day - I would like to sort a file like this (colon as separator): ddd:260:a bbb:200:a ddd:27:a bbb:30:a I'd like the results to be ordered by field 1, then by field 2 numerically, so that the result is: bbb:30:a bbb:200:a ddd:27:a ddd:260:a If I'm reading the man page right, the...

Any answers to justride's question? GD

Is there a runtime penalty for putting more jars in the CLASSPATH than the application actually requires? What exactly does the JRE do with all the jars in CLASSPATH? Does it unjar everything at the start? Or does it only start looking through the jars for a particular class when a call to...

Using SYSTEM certainly works. Two followup questions: 1. Is VOLATILE known to be unreliable under Win2K? 2. Is there a VBS way to delete a self-created SYSTEM variable? GD

I'm attempting to set an environment variable (without using the System control panel) so that every user who logs on has it set. This is on a Win2K server SP4 running standalone (no clients). My login vbs script is something akin to: Dim shell Dim volEnv Set shell =...

That's what's odd. Arial 8 in a Word doc (at 100% zoom) looks like what you'd expect - pretty small, but still readable. To get that same font in a JLabel, I have to set it to Arial 11. If I use Arial 8 on it, it's so small you can barely read it. I guess what I'm asking is whether point...

There seems to be a three-point discrepancy between "equivalent" font sizes in Java vs. MS Office. For example, if I set a JLabel to Arial 11, it's the same font I see in a Word doc using Arial 8. Similarly, Tahoma 12 in Java is the same font as Tahoma 9 in Word. Have others observed this...

The out-of-the-box font I'm seeing in my JFrame GUI is too small. Is there a way to globally set the font so that all JComponents inherit the larger font? GD

I have a menu bar containing JMenuItems created using the (Action) constructor. The JMenuItems have both icons and text labels. How would I implement a "show/hide icons" capability? Is there a way to use JMenuItem's getComponent() method to remove/restore the icons without actually recreating...

Worked like a charm. Thanks.

Is there a way to limit the number of characters that may be typed in an editable JComboBox, analogous to setting up a Document model for a JTextField? WGD

Netdom looks promising - thanks for the tip. GD

I'd like to go from a workgroup to a domain without using the System control panel. Is there a way to join a domain using a bat (1st choice) or vbs (2nd choice) script? GD

The reason for starting this thread is to understand what parens actually do, or, more accurately, why they don't do what I expected. I had discovered that a block-if construct like this: if <condition> ( command1 command2 command3 } is not guaranteed to work when environment...

You lost me, Chris - are you saying grouping multiple commands with parens is never appropriate?

I'm getting two different stories on how to upgrade from USB 1 to USB 2. One source says it's a hardware issue - that the USB 1 hubs on the motherboard aren't upgradeable and I need a separate card to get USB 2. Another source says it's a device driver issue - lose the USB 1 device driver...

Invalid? What makes it so?
