TOPIC: IDENTIFYING COMPRESSED PROGRAM FILES Here's what I do when I forget who's who in the zoo. I extract the file (into its own folder) - then I run the setup. Once the program has revealed who it is, I abort the installation. Then, I rename the directory that I extracted the file into w/ the appropriate name. To avoid this problem, I've made it a habit to keep a folder called "Archived" into which I store compressed programs. I also place each compressed program into its own folder w/in "Archived". This is convenient because I can also put any related files such as a pdf file on the program or necessary dll, etc. I also sometimes (not as often as I should) put a text file in the folder noting where I got the program from and any other pertinant info. that might be valuable in the future - e.g. registration key, etc. > Here now my question: Is there a web site where I can do a search > by file name (e.g., djv100.zip) that will give the complete name > a program by entering the downloaded filename? > > Erik Hundrieser The PCSOFT web site always needs good submissions.
