this sounds great to me. i was thinking MS should have something and this looks like the something i was thinking of. I'll check it out when I get back to that machine. thanks. :)

Thanks for that. Yep. I'll drag the info from that out and stick it all in a file for future ref, plus all I gain here.
But it all just boils down to I need to run things as admin or go through...

It is. Comes standard when you enable IIS.

So am I misremembering that it has never happened before? I know I can freely create folders under inetpub and move things in and out of them. But can't save a text file ? Puzzling.

edit: or...

tiny bit of a hassle to do this but yep probably a workaround. this is, though, why is this happening? it never used to. everytime I want to write to a folder in inetpub I'm going to have to do...

I am an admin.
I use Kompozer to create html files
I have IIS. And therefore inetpub and wwwroot folders
I create a dir in wwwroot and save via Kompozer an html to that dir.
Then I use notepad...

But the network does work and has been working for a long time. I have other win10 machines that communicate, share files on it and currently one but only one linux machine.

It could be useful to...

not there right now so can't do it but will do it. meanwhile I can report that yes, there's said to be dns issues. got a report from somewhere somewhere along the line: dns server not responding. ...

another computer on the same lan. i should have spelled that out. the lan is okay, the router is okay, everything is okay but that win10 machine just gone flaky. like it WAS okay. it's not like...

all the apps on firefox - and opera - report they cannot find the internet.

the network/wifi thing in the bottom right corner reports a valid connection, no problem.

Yep. I've been trying that sort of thing and looks like I've got a fix.

Right now I have English with Aussie keyboard and English with US keyboard.

This is a new win10 install and it seems to have come with a built in problem.

When I try to put single quotes I get a screw up. Various things happen like the first one does not appear when I...

Yep, thanks guys. I used win7, kinda, until a few months ago. This linux machine I am on now was my wife's machine. It is an old optiplex 760. I had win7 on it for her for years. It did stirling...

Don't know what a 'slic' table is but I guess it's perhaps an inbuilt oem licence?

Whatever, I'm beginning to think it might be useful to have a win7 box standing by as a curiosity at least. And...

Well I'd rather not have to reveal this but the drive was not plugged in.

It's not quite as embarrassing as it sounds - or maybe it is worse. They are old drives and when I found them I didn't...

Thank you Marie and S1W2. Good news. I'll see if I can do a new win7 install then. I only need it long enough to see if the drives appear and to then move stuff off them if there's anything I want....

All our old win7 etc. boxes are long dead and gone. I've not even got a record of their windows licence numbers.
And now I got two Seagate srd00f2 2T external expansion drives which can't be seen by...

That's right. That's exactly what I thought. Gratuitous.
Whereas your contribution was of course completely necessary and informative, contributing immensely and bringing us all closer to...

Well all of that looks to me like gratuitous near ad hominem. I just don't see the point of it. And the assertions it makes are debatable in any case. I don't come here for that kind of crap.
...

Thanks for that. You're right. Might be all I need.

You'd call Yahoo mail's editor a word processor?

I'd like to coin a phrase, a name: 'text manager' perhaps.

There's probably an app...

Thanks for that. Haven't tried it yet but I will. I take it that it loads up, pops up super quite like notepad or something.. not like MS Word or Libre ? Because I have them of course. I'm looking...

Believe it or not I've been hunting for two days. Tried heaps. had Gpt helping me even.

Not a code editor. A text editor.

Mainly I just want something that comes up as quickly as notepad ( or...

Yes I was wondering how it happened. I have no clue. Perhaps a badly behaved MS update?
