Hello. I found that to be quite the weird container, but would look quite normal in these parts lol. The previous owner at my house actually built a raised bed for a bathtub. I don't know much about converting things into containers, but heat could be a big problem. Remember a brick patio is only gonna hold more heat. Good luck to you.

DA, I don't log in, but as far as I know I'm "Owner/PC" Ravencajun, there is no "Run as administrator" selection in the box that a right click brings up when I right click on the shortcut. Justme4now, I downloaded that program and it goes into WinRAR but I have no idea where it goes or what to do with it after that? I also should mention that this shortcut doesn't even act as a shortcut any more! When I click on it as you would to operate a normal shortcut, a box comes up with another message:- "The target** of this Internet shortcut is not valid. Go to the Internet shortcut property sheet and make sure the target is correct" Where or what is an Internet shortcut property sheet?? And how does one get there? I don't know how I got myself into this one???

Thanks ravencajun. I am bookmarking all these websites that allow large transfers. I used YouSendIt to send the exe file I was trying to send. So far, I have not heard from my friend as to whether the file was sent successfully or not. My provider will allow up to 10Meg emails......but they draw the line on any exe files....no matter how small. I will be trying these new ones....like YouSendIt or MailBigFile....to see if they allow exe files. I thank you for your response, raven. Larry

gmom, Here is the link that is most likely to save your day: www.OEHelp.com/OETips Scroll down to the red 'Update'. Have a read, but before you do anything else, download the free programme Outlook Express Quick Backup (don't worry about the command line instructions because you never use them - you just push the buttons). Before you run OE Quick Backup create a new Backup Folder (preferably on another drive) e.g. 'Current'. Run OE Quick Backup and select the 'Current' folder then click 'Backup All'. Once your latest data is safely backed up in 'Current' create a couple more folders e.g. 'Old 2008' and 'Old 2007'. This is because, if things work o.k., you are likely to end up with several .dbx files with the same name and you need to save them in different places - as explained in the next paragraph. So, to recover e.g. an old "Sent" email folder copy sent.bak and save it to your current identity as sent1.dbx and then backup that to "Old 2008". A quick word about .bak files - when Widows saves a later version of any file with the same name as the original one it changes the extension of the original file to .bak e.g. text.txt to text.bak and program.exe to program.bak. This gives you only one chance to 'easily' recover your data because if you save again using the same name then the first .bak file is overwritten - this is windows way of preventing your hard drive from becoming full with obsolete files. N.B. My Windows theory might not be 100% correct (I am both old and self-taught!) but the general principles are about right and it could save you from corrupting anything that you do manage to recover. Good luck. Colin Here is a link that might be useful: Outlook Express Help Main Index
