Usage Warnings
Users of Windows 3.1 will remmeber the infamous Windows File Manager, Did
you know that you can use this in Windows 95 and 98. To run File
Manager, go to the start, run and type winfile, click on ok and the
Windows File Manager will start, does it bring back memories If you use
the File Manager there are a few things to keep in mind .
First, File Manager does not recognize long filenames. When you use it to
view a file that has a name longer than eight characters, the name will
appear truncated (six characters plus a tilde ~ and then a number, as in
"mydocu~1.doc"). And if you use File Manager to copy or move
that file, the file will lose its long name altogether (replaced with the
truncated name).
Second, File Manager does not send deleted files to the Recycle Bin
(although it does ask you to confirm your deletion). Therefore, a file
deleted using File Manager has been deleted for good.
