* * T I P O F T H E D A Y * * Quick View is an underused, under-appreciated feature of Windows; it lets you quickly and safely see the contents of documents without opening their associated applications. To make it even quicker, create a shortcut to it, C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\VIEWERS\QUIKVIEW.EXE, and then drag and drop a file onto the icon to view it. [note: i tried the above windows tip. created a quickview shortcut on the desktop, but the only thing i could drag and drop onto the icon was other desktop icons. the tip says lets you see the contents of documents..., but i don't know what docs they're referring to? i tried dragging word docs onto the quickview icon and i couldn't. any ideas? it's a cool feature for desktop icons, but i must be missing some other essential part of how to make this tip function.] :) mark
