I know there are a few knowledgeable listers here, mostly programmers and
script writers, to whom the below questions will be nothing that mysterious.
So, please clue me in if you're around your computer this Christmas day and
have a minute to explain. thanks.
I was just looking over the icons on my Desktop to see if there were any
that I might remove just to unclutter things, in between the times when
Windows offers to consolidate unused icons and hold them in one icon (how
that works, I don't know, if anyone cares to explain). So I just arrowed
around the rows of icons to see what was there other than things I use from
time to time.
Tobut I don't nusued To my surprise, the only unfamiliar things had to do
with Jaws, and I can't imagine what they're doing there unless I
accidentally placed them there myself while unpacking a set of script files
or something. I'm really not very skillful with my unzip program, Power
Archiver. sometimes things wind up in the wrong place, at first, even
though I get them filed away right, eventually. Maybe this was one of those
awkward first tries at unzipping?
Anyway, here's what I found.
1. A whole series of Jaws files with extensions like .jcf, .jss, etc., with
the common filename _core_. Rather than just carelessly delete these (they
can't possibly be functional, if they're sitting on the Desktop, can they?),
I'd like to know where to look to make sure I have duplicates of these where
they ought to be. Then I'll feel that I know what they were, and will have
learned something.
2. There's an icon named eloqmain.dc t, whose extension is just as I've
typed it, with a space before the final "t." What is this? Something to do
with Eloquence? What? And What would it be doing on my Desktop?And what
should I do with it?
thanks.
