Renaming mobidedrm
Quote:
I have renamed in explorer and from command line from "MobiDeDrm.py 0.02.txt to MobiDeDRM02.py and it shows up that way in explorer but not in the directory when I so dir *.py. So I must be doing something wrong. |

New script, same problem
Ok, so I tried a different script from another download. When I use dir *.py on the command line, it says file not found. But I do see it explorer in the Scrips file in the python26 path. I took the file "MobiDeDRM.py 0.02.txt and changed it to MobiDeDRM.py by eliminating all the other parts. Also, I have tried MobiDeDRM02.py without success. Not sure what to do now. Seems like I have checked and rechecked everything ten times. When I try to run it, it says not recognized as an internal or external file. Any ideas where to go from here. I did clit easily so I figured I could do this one. Oh my!!

The second solution is to try to get python working first. Go to your installation of Python and look for the .exe startup program and typing it in. Likely python.exe. Does this work? If so you could copy the mobidedrm.py script to the same folder and then type: python mobidedrm.py and see if this does anything. Report your findings. Dale |

I think the actual filename is probably MobiDeDRM.py.txt and you have hidden known filename extensions, see my post #71. One way to check is to right click on the file and see what is in the "open with" tab. One of the options should be python and you may also see edit with phthonwin. If you view "details" in the file window (last icon) these should show up as "Python File".

If extensions are visible, it can often confuse people, not to mention the fact that it makes it very easy to change the extension (Which I often do) but which can mess up a novice user's computer quiet a bit. |

So its usually the lesser of the two evils. While its a risk, you have to balance the two and based on the user and how tech savy and active they are. My price example are my elder female relatives (Mom, aunt, etc). As they only go online to read a few sites, and hardly ever download any files directly, and mainly get mails from close relatives , its easier to hide everything, and just ensure that AV is kept updated, and runs scans regularly, and have a way to remotely fix problems. |

Frankly I have come to the conclusion that people that basically use a PC for Web/Mail are much better off with Mac/Linux than Windows. They are much safer and you can use a much less powerful (cheaper) PC and get better performance to boot. BOb |
