Fodder,
I'm here to tell you we both have to learn to use the KISS answers, which in this case, "you came from Cleveland" would have worked as well as the info above that I posted in reply to the question "where did my 4GB of ram go"?
As near as I can tell there has been nary a nibble on the valuable info we gathered and posted.
I've come to the conclusion that facts are boring! People want answers with some excitement and "from Cleveland" is about as exciting as it gets. If you have ever been to Cleveland you know that being "from Cleveland", farrrrr from Cleveland, really makes your day!
Thanks again everybody.......... I'll be in touch!

General Software Discussion / Shell Tools.... Moonsoftware

Shell Tools is out. Moonsoftware has included a handful of their old utilities, including FileNote, in Shell Tools. Unfortunately they still didn't include the 64bit extensions so we didn't gain much except for the bundling. I'm going to load it up on the 32bit machines though.......... I love new toys!
I've used their utilities over the years and enjoyed them. When I discovered that FileNote wouldn't work on this 64bit version of XPPro I almost cried. Nod jumped in and saved me then others added improvements so we survived.
BigJim set out to discuss our plight with the guys at Moonsoftware when FileNote came up and he was advised that they were going to fix it. If there is anyone here with a little authority I'd suggest a little chit-chat with BigJim about getting results. I've heard of cases where when the desired results weren't obtained the "Big" disappeared. :-\
YMMV

Hey guys, thanks for the input. These tools impressed me but I'm wondering if the young lady that sprung for 4GB mem but only got credit for 3GB in properties will even pause long enough to digest what they are looking at??
I'll present the apps to the masses and see what kind of response they get? It may be that the question can be answered as easliy as the one "hey dad, where did I come from?" posed by the eight year old. Cleveland, you came from Cleveland, now go play! ;)
And Fodder, you're right! That block diagram or map I saw is the KISS answer and it's still available at Wiki, I'm sure.
I'll look again and in the meantime I'll fend off the wolves by feeding them the apps that Stoic Joker and cmpm turned up.
Thanks again guys!

I think my description of it may be a little oversimplified. And I'm sure there is a great deal more to it!
But remember......... when the eight year old asks where she came from simply say Cleveland, along with the rest of us, and she'll go away. The long dissertation about the facts of life really isn't necessary.
The only reason she's asking is because the ten year old next door said she came from Chicago?

I've been running a 64bit system since MS released the trial. When the trial expired I bought a copy!
I have no complaints but it's hard trying to explain the problem to 32bit OS users. At one time I found a diagram of the 32bit memory address space that showed that the top of the bucket was already full so you couldn't get 4GB of memory into the remaining space in the bucket. I think the graph was on Wiki but I can't seem to find it again. There's enough information about memory stored on Wiki now to choke a goat. I'll look again but right now I'm engaged in a brutal battle with a game of Freecell.
Thanks
 :D
