The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

The Grade of the Solution
The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
The Number of Author and Expert Comments
The Number of Experts Contributing
The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Saving to desktop doesn't work

Asked by Chris99 in Windows 95 Operating System

Tags: windows, download

I just got a Dell Dimension 266 with the LX chipset running Windows 95. When I try to save something to the desktop, it doesn't show up there, although you can Find it and see it in Explorer. I formatted the hard drive, reinstalled Windows, and when I got it running, tried to save a notepad document to the desktop. It STILL didn't work. I have Windows 95 (an earlier version, I'm sure) at work and this feature runs like a champ. What's going on? Is it the software, or my computer?

It is in the Desktop directory in Explorer, also the C:\windows\desktop directory. It just doesn't show up on the desktop. Yes, when I create a new text file on the desktop, that works, but when I'm in an application (Notepad, Netscape, etc.) and save or download a file to Desktop, the icon for it won't appear until I restart. (Or until I CTRL-ALT-DELETE, Shut Down Explorer, Restart Explorer).

The file is ALWAYS THERE, it just doesn't actually show up on the desktop until I do something drastic. I can open it by typing the name (c:\windows\desktop\untitled.txt, for example), but it's not appearing on the desktop.

And yes, I tried Auto Arrange, Line up icons, etc., etc. It just won't show up short of a reboot.

When I create new text document, as you described, the text document stays there on reboot, no problem. I am working on this from home (no network), although the computer at work I'm comparing it to is on a network.
