Bit OT!

evil Homer
A bit off topic, but does anyone now of a small utility that can go through my Favourites folder and test all my bookmarks to see if the sites still exist? Then I can select which ones to delete etc etc.

What were you running before Win2K?

reversing_drive
Personally, Windows 98se. NT4 just lacked a few things, USB support, Games support, powers savings support. Was glad to leave the flakey 9X kernel to more robust NT kernel, with Windows9X harware & software support.

Best CD-R Program for Win2000

pmistry
I've been using some CD-R software lately and I can't STAND CDRWIN, it's junk. It burns CDs fine except the fact that the data is not readable, Nero is king for me, and now that I found BINCHUNKER I can convert to ISO from BIN.
