my father knows computers inside out. he;s running about 4 machines of his
own (pchome, pcwork, laptop, handheld, who knows what else) and my pc on his
powerdesk program, which is ridiculous i wish i could put it out for
everyone. my dad's brilliant with computers but the man has some serious
issues. he's had me on his network again for who knows how long but the
settings tell me i am not connected to a network at all. i found the script
document that has paralyzed me from managing my own pc and i know enough to
tell you its tedious and definitely worth having a copy of if anyone is
interested. none of my files have true extensions and my whole system has
been programmed specifically to appear to be under my control. now i can't
stop reading about computers and im more curious and confused than ever.
 
Hi.

You are most certainly connected to a network. You posted your message to
the newsgroups, so you're connected to the Internet, which is the largest
network of all. Perhaps your computer networking skills aren't yet such
that you know what to look for when other computers on your network aren't
mapped to a specific drive letter in Windows Explorer.

All network administrators have this script and many, many more for
enforcing the organization's PC policies and keeping users in line. It just
seems valuable to you because you weren't famililar with it before, but now
you've discovered what it does -- right under your nose.

You're running Windows 2000, so of course all of your files have extensions,
or else you'd have to select from a list of applications to run every single
file you try to open. You don't see the file extensions because you haven't
removed the training wheels from your computer yet.

Consider this to be a good thing, because that strong curiosity will lead
you to find out a lot more about how computers and networks work, and this
could lead to a satisfying and well-compensated career with computers.

HTH.
