http://www.zabugorie.com/
Windows 2000, Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows NT
An amusing adventure game series.
Zabugorie: The Fairy Planet is the first instalment of an amusing
and zany five part adventure game.
It uses simple 3D graphics and a point and click interface,
including the standard commands such as look, pick up and talk, in
order to interact with the various objects and characters in the
game.
The plot is as follows: aliens tried to steal the sun but Yaga the
witch stopped them and trapped them and their craft on Zabugorie.
For the aliens to escape they need to locate their energy chest,
which has been lost.
Your task is to get to the chest before they do, driving the
aliens off the planet.
It is a crazy plot, but hides a fairly good game.

Tina's FrontPage Tips, by Tina Clarke
Clearing your cache
FrontPage 98 stores all its temp files (cache) in its own
subdirectory, which is usually stored at
...C:\Program Files\Microsoft FrontPage\temp...
FrontPage 98 does not clear these automatically so sooner
rather than later your hard drive will be bulging!
To clear out these temp files
Select Windows Explorer to locate the FrontPage Temp
subdirectory
Select and delete all its contents (but don't delete the
temp subdirectory itself)
Or you can:
Press Start
Select Find | Find Folders under the Name and Location tab |
Named box enter first:
*.tmp ~ Press 'Find Now' and wait till all the files are
located Go to the menu bar and click Edit | Select all.
Right click in the window pane on the files under the 'Name'
column and select Delete in the pop up menu, click yes when
the recycle bin asks if you want to delete them.
*.chk ~ Do the same with .chk.
FrontPage 2000/02 have a built-in provision for deleting the
contents of the temp subdirectory. Tools | Web Settings |
Advanced Tab, click the Delete Files button.

Starting the Mailto
We ran a tip a while ago (no dont ask when <g) explaining how to
create a mailto shortcut on your desktop, allowing you to open a
blank email without opening your email application. Some dont
like all kinds of shortcuts on the desktop so there is another
place for this shortcut. Simply drag the mailto: shortcut to the
Start Menu, so it was easily accessible at any time. To do this,
you just create the mailto shortcut as you would normally:
Right-click on the Desktop and choose New, Shortcut. In the
Command line, type
mailto:
And then give your Shortcut an appropriate name, something like
Blank Email. Then drag your mailto shortcut to the Start button
until it opens, and place it wherever you like on the Start menu.
