To kill all folders, download the following file

http://hobbes.nmsu.edu/pub/os2/util/wps/killfold.zip

Make a program object on the desktop or copy the program object to the screen borders page of epager properties.  I don't have time right now to detail how to set it up to use  a border of the screen to close all folders.

Playing around with this as a possible folder scheme.  Is it worth trying?

I don't know what additional features if any 6.4 will have other than fix the install problem.  I was told that 6.3 was broken from someone who attended Chris's presentation at Warstock.

Thanks for the heads up on that one.
I tried the MMAudio pack and that worked for Mp3, OGG, and FLAC. However, I still am having class registration issues with WPS wizard .6.3 that I cant figure out. Hey, atleast my WPS plays music now though :)

The install in 6.3 is broken.  One needs to install 6.2 first and then install the 6.3 files manually over the 6.2 files, at least that is what I have been told.  One will probably need to unlock the files to replace.

I understand 6.4 will be out soon which fixes the installation problem.

I am in the process of doing one more color based on the basefolder design.  It will be a wine color as seen in the picture I uploaded.

Welcome back young Jedi.  You should have a wealth of experience and knowledge to share with the rest of us when that knowledge is needed.

I just uploaded the basicfolder blue theme to Hobbes incoming.

I just uploaded the

basic folder white 1.0.0

http://hobbes.nmsu.edu/pub/incoming/bf_white1-0-0.zip

basic folder brown 1.0.0

http://hobbes.nmsu.edu/pub/incoming/bf_brown1-0-0.zip

basic folder 1.0.1

http://hobbes.nmsu.edu/pub/incoming/basicfolder1-0-1.zip

to Hobbes.

Basic folder 1.01 replaces 1.0.0 and rev1.  To install this,  you need to use Warpin to uninstall the earlier versions of Basic folder.  I changed the install routine based on some information I received from Alex Taylor.  If you don't, you will have the icon theme installed twice. I changed the name of the install directory.

The basic folder blue is around halfway finished.  Probably by tomorrow.

I choose to use windows, and I choose to use eCS. I have my freedom, and I exercise it.

You assume much about me. I had a IBM Aptiva with OS/2. I had OS/2 running on my Compaq Presario. I tried getting eCS to work on my sisters Gateway, and my friends custom built SLI computer. You are right, I do need to learn more. And I am trying to do so, hence why I trash/reinstall so often. If I mess something up, I start clean, and try to get past that point. If I wasnt trying to learn, I would not have kept reinstalling...

This is exactly how I learned to use OS/2 and now eCS and even Windows.  Of course, Windows I did not have to experiment to trash the parititon.  It was always just a matter of time.  I was always trying new and different things.  If I messed up my partition, I just reinstalled and learned more each time.  Everyday is a new learning experience.  If I had a question, there was always plenty of people to ask online.

I may have the white and brown done by tomorrow.  Then I will do the blue, but will take my time doing it.  The white will not be monochrome.  It contains all the little descriptive icons that that "basicfold" did.

I like the basic design of the basicfolder theme that I created.  I am thinking about creating one or two more based on this design, but different folders.  I have uploaded my possibilities.  I want opinions of the two colors people would like to see.

Or if the design sucks, tell me so that I don't waste my time doing creating the hundreds of icons.

I just found a mistake I made in the basicfolder package.  I had the java folder icons backwards.  Uploaded a rev1 to hobbes incoming.

I have to boot to WinXP to do some of my graphics work.  However, for everyday file management, internet, and word processing, I prefer to do it under eCS.  I only use XP for the things I can't presently do when using eCS.

My XP system takes approx 4 minutes to boot up to where I can use it. My eCS system takes approx 45 seconds.  It seems every program installed slows XP down just a little bit more.  Although it still locks up, it does so way less frequently than any previous version of Windows.  Note: I have had it lock up and my friends to where the power has had to be cut off at a surge suppressor or the battery pulled from the laptop to make XP reboot.  One thing I can't stand about XP is that a soft boot is not possible when the machine locks up so hard that a control+alt +del does nothing. The power button will not cut it off either.  With a lot of programs installed on XP, it bogs down.

If XP had to be installed by every user like eCS, Microsoft would be swamped with pleas for help.  You just don't now how many times I have had to help my XP friends get their Windows computer back to usablility mode.  What saves Windows is that it comes preinstalled on just about every computer.  If eCS came preinstalled, had the support of every driver and program manufacturer, Windows would eventually fade away.  Yes, eCS users have to pay more for various programs that are free under Windows, but that is because OS/2 and now eCS has never had the support for their operating system that Windows has enjoys.

My Windows friends now want everything for free.  They would rather pirate their software than pay for it.  They look at Windows as being free since it comes with each computer they buy.

I keep telling myself that one day I will tell my Windows friends no more.  I have already laid the ground work by saying that anyone with Windows Vista on their machine need not come to me.  I don't plan on buying or using it anytime in the near and immediate future, if ever.  Another friend of mine already has told our friends that he no longer works on Windows machines.  Again, my friends come to me because being a friend, I work for free.

Yes, Windows is nice when it is running good.  However, when things start happening, it is a bitch to fix.

I have just uploaded the basic folder theme for eCS 2.0 to Hobbes incoming for anyone interested in checking it out.  This is just an icon folder theme only.
