Embarrassing Computer Question

First important question: what operating system are you using? Windows XP? MaxOSX? Linux?

I can tell psychically that the OP is using Windows of some kind, probably XP, although I'm not completely sure about that bit.

Yeah I was thinking the same ;) I'm sure it is very easy in Win 98SE/XP - I believe you can just right click/copy or drag the file to your D: (or whichever drive is the CD burner drive) and it'll burn a copy automagically.

That said, get a copy of Nero Burning, it is a lot nicer.

Note: this relies on your PC having a CD drive that can burn/write to CD. It would be likely on a reasonably new PC but if you have an old PC with only a CDROM, you cant save to a CD. It needs a CD writable drive.

why do you need to burn it to CD?

I'd get a USB flash drive or something...

anyway, if you're in XP you *might* need to right-click on the CD drive disk icon > properties > "enable cd recording on this drive"

if you've not managed to find the options already, it can dissapear sometimes.

Here's a really stupid question. See on my favourites? See how some of my favourites have the little icon next to them but others don't? How do I get my own little icons and assign them to the plain boring e ones?

I tried this before months ago and it dicked me about, asking me what I wanted to open things with etc, I surmised I was getting it wrong and gave up.

do you mean favourited web sites? or any type of favourites?

'favorites'

which browser are you using? the website usually supplies the images, they are called favicons.

with firefox the favicons are stored in the bookmark.html file as a base64 encoded ICON attribute:

which means they are theoretically changeable but what's to stop them being replaced the next time you visit the site?

(oh, Firefox Favicon Picker: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/325 )

(ooh, that's very wide)

oh, on windows you can just right click them, choose 'Properties', 'Change Icon'

(this is win2k)

hey, i didn't know that

ie on xp, will it work with that? That sounds really simple, like something I should have known and tried myself...

Yeah, my favourite web places...
