| 532171 | 2007-03-14 14:03:00 | nice catch, but isn't that lake for drinking water? seems a bit silly having a boat ramp to go mess up your water supply we aren't even allowed to swim in water reservoirs over here . . . or atleast the nihotupu ones (in the waitakere ranges, supplying a third of auckland's water) Yeah . . there are a lot of restrictions though on the fuel and motor types that can be used . . . . Human/body contact is forbidden, but the bears, ducks and geese can take a dump in the water without fear of citation . The water is primarilly used for irrigation in Hemet/San Jacinto, but eventually finds its way to Lake Perris, Canyon Lake, Lake Matthews (where the recent fire was) and on down to Lake Elsinore, Trabuco Canyon and then the Santa Ana River and out to sea . Some cities use it as a source of admixed water for municipal water supplies, being mixed with Colorado River water and/or their local aquifers underground . It is treated with chlorine and strong oxidizers like ultraviolet light and potassium permangenate to kill little critters that swim in it microscopically . Anyway, I am going to make it to Lake Skinner ( . temeculacvb . com/play/lake_skinner . asp" target="_blank">www . temeculacvb . com) (six miles from here) to try for some striped bass tomorrow . . . gads, it's hard to have such a busy work schedule . |

| 532172 | 2007-03-15 06:24:00 | I serched for C:/WINDOWS/system32/winmine.exe using AvaFind - a very good program - with no luck. Then for winmine.exe, still no luck; But looking for Minesweeper did the trick. The games on my XP Home system are in Start, Programs, Games. I think I put them there myself a long time ago. I also used Windows Serch with no success. Then I remembered that the icon will tell where the program is, if you can find it, the icon that is. On my system it is "%SystemRoot%\System32\winmine.exe" Hope that helps:) firstly, i thought leendert had the problem secondly the SHORTCUT to the games are in start>programes>games. windows does it automatically so if you put them there i'd like to know why THIRDLY, while search will find the files if they're there, looking at the shortcut properties will simply tell you where they are if they are there. NOTE you'll find "%SystemRoot%" actually refers to the directory where windows is located, ie "C:/windows/" followed by "System32\winmine.exe" |

| 532173 | 2007-03-15 06:54:00 | Hello all again, I'm pleased that the fishing was great. Now back to my problem. Whatever I did, a note came on screen that it could not open because sndrec32.exe was missing. I copied the sndrec32.exe from my wife's computer and put it into mine. I now have an icon on my desktop and I can use the sound recorder again. It's all a bit mickey-mouse and I still don't really know why that exe file was missing. As I'm not interested in games (my wife is) so I did not copy those from her computer. Whatever I have done sometime in the past, I have no idea but at 77 I tend to forget the odd thing!!! If someone can come up with what I could do with the sndrec32.exe file so that I can take the icon away from the desktop. Thank you all for your time and interesting comments, they were appreciated here DownUnder (New Zealand), Leo |

| 532174 | 2007-03-15 06:54:00 | One more shot, then I quite this: Go to, START>>Programs>>Games (should NOT be in Accessories area at all!) and find a shortcut to any of your missing games . Now, right click on the game of your choice, and go to PROPERTIES . . . . here you'll open a card that'll show you where the file is, if it exists that is . When you are on the SHORTCUT tab, if you get this far, click on the FIND TARGET button . . . and there it'll be for all the world to see . . . if it still exists, that is . If it isn't there (which I strongly suspect) then you'll have to re-install it in the manner in which I wrote in the first reply to your post . Listen . . . I just had this old Compaq sitting around doing nothing, and made a completely new, clean install with SP2, and I can find the games in the manner in which I just posted . . . it has to work this way or something is really messed up . That being the case, I reiterate, just re-install the games like I said b4 . Windows, by design puts the games there, just below the ACCESSORIES line . . . it really has nothing to do with what you wanted or did in times past . . although you CAN move them around if you really want to go thru the rediscovery process in Windows . . which is pretty good but not infallible at finding things if you move them away from where Windows expects them to be . Off my soap box now . . hopefully you get this resolved . . let me (for one) know what happens . |

| 532175 | 2007-03-15 06:58:00 | failing that just copy the game/accessories executable files to a random folder, or the windows folder then systematically right click each one and go "send to> desktop (create shortcut)". that way your desktop will look all nice. i believe surferjoe has already described how to get those shortcuts on your start menu, so i'll save myself the typing:) |
