Farr cannot find an exe file
« on: April 03, 2008, 11:39 PM »
This is little odd. Maybbe someone can give me better idea

I am searching for wikipad.exe. If I type wiki, it is listed in the list(as wikipad.exe) which is fine. But if I type wikipad, it does not show in the list. Is there a logical explanation?

it's hard for me to think why that would happen, unless you have an alias that is kicking in after you type more letters -- when does it dissapear from the list, only after you type the full word wikipad or at 'wikip' ?

are you sure it's wikipad and not wikidpad ?

all these years I thought it was Wikipad.exe :)  I figured and I was ashamed to write here until you have mentioned Armando :)

well, it's because I made the same mistake a while ago that I guessed that this is what happened  ;D
