Although this is for vista, I get the idea.
Basically what happens is that while I still think a file is a sequence
of bytes my OS suddenly has started thinking about the contents and
meaning of my files. I wasn't expecting that, so I was dumbfounded that
the utilities that used to work suddenly didn't behave as before. They
probably have advertised this increase in user friendliness extensively
and I have not paid attention. Conclusion: it is all my fault.
BTW is there a switch to tell the system that it can keep the PnP, the
USB support and the filesystems but otherwise stop trying to 'help' me
and behave like a simple windows 95 machine?
