Hi Charlie and thanks for the answer,
Well, Yes I understand this and I also currently use this technique when/while? (English
grammar is not so easy sometimes, but I'll try it the US style) I'm doing this type
of copying or moving things.
Still I can't understand why MS bother them self with extra strange codes to have
their system to act like this?
I would presume that costs a little extra 500 or so lines of program code...?
Or was it because of just that, that the design from the beginning was so poor, that
they saved 500 or so lines of codes..?
Naturally it's not easy to make everything straight, when you have to take in consideration
of maybe > 1000 of programmers, to make it to work at the end.
That's the reason for the patches..Right?
For me It's just an annoying thing. But No problem, I know how to deal with it.
I was just hoping for a solution, You know, change a reg key or something...
I really don't like 3:rd party s/w to much, since they tend to suck up system resources
to much and at the end are very often incompatible with the system they are written
for.
Best Regards, Flyfisherman
