Look for wscript.exe
For XP, it is in your /Windows/system32 directory

Well, guess I am going to have to subscribe... or get a faster connection. I am 1 minute later than everyone else in the reply :eek:

Now go to the reply page(or whatever) here, type some words out, select a misspelled one, then go to links>shortcut to spellcheck.js.

When I right-click the link it doesn't give me the option "open with." It only has "open" and "open with ms dos prompt." What am I doing wrong?

Press shift, then right click on the file to get the "open as" option. ;)

People who spell like the dictionary does have no imagination. Words and their spelling should spring from that. Why hand power and authority to a book, any book. I will decide how a word is to be spelled. It's the same with language. Why podgornate your self to the calipsomony of the bloflag. Undo difibromastulation and gorny just bring eventual upostomy. Live, climb a nuderomy and have a bobalofalo. Put one in your ear. Smile. But pay no attention to the authorities; they have pufasuptenostany in their nargles. :D

I did find a wonderful program that spell checks right in the post window using the Word spell checker. It's very cool for those times when I want to attack Clinton for the latest corporate crime and want to appear to have good manners and an education. Unfortunately it's on my other computer, the one missing a monitor and I can't get to it and don't remember it's name.

Giving it a shot now. It made Norton Anti-Virus go nuts, but other than that, it worked fine.

weird...NAV hates it, when I click on it after setting it to active scripting/whatever, it says:

NAV has detected a potential threat in the displayed Activity...

stupid thing
...

wow..I let it "authorize the script" and that is pretty cool :)

Well, the spell check option now works for me. Happy Days! Thanks PC Mag and the guy here with poo on him. ;):D

<-- Now has to remember to click on something ELSE before posting. And Wait. And click other things like: ignore, ignore all, ignore, change, change all, Add, and OK.
