Thanks. Pretty convenient, earlier I used to move /etc/localtime and copy the requested value.

Or just use Cygwin to bypass this silly restriction, especially if you’re a Linux user.

There might be a use for this. If you create the folder from the command line as mentioned above, you will now have a seemingly undeleteable, unmovable, unrenameable folder. This can be useful if you don’t want an inexperienced user messing with your files.

Also, if you want to create a file (not folder) with the name con, follow these steps:
1. Create the file as you normally would
2. From the command line, type the following, making sure to replace the path, as well as use the correct file extension:
rename “\\.\c:\[path to file]” “con.txt”
You now have a file with a forbidden name!

After an Windows XP service pack update Ipod not being recognised on as a USB device. tried reinstalling the drivers but Windows has a problem finding them. Very clunky software for the huge price tag Apple charge!! Also v. Annoyed that for the amount I paid the ipod will not charge up properly from a USB device and no other charger came with the bundle. Surely this is daylight rippery!

I got an iPod nano almost 3 years ago, and since then have upgraded to an iPod touch. Although with the iTouch, I also went from a Dell laptop to a macbook (sept). I gave my youngest brother my nano and I have not been able to have it show up in iTunes either. Finally, after him trying for a whole day, and several attempts on my part, I’ve realized what the problem is: the formatting. Right now my nano is formatted for windows. Now, I have yet figured out how to reformat it. I’m not sure if restoring all the settings will in fact get me a reformatted nano, or not.
So, just see if the formatting is consistent with the computer you are using. Hope that helps some….
