life after Windows....

That's why Windows and Mac OS both check for valid filenames before creating a file. That's not what I asked. I asked how to check if the file name is correct. That is, how does the OS know that the file is being created in the right place with respect to its purpose? It is not the proper function of computers to decide for people whether what they want to do is acceptable. Surely it is, or maybe that's the software. But even on crappy PC's it's difficutl to accidently format or erase your startup disc. In some case's I cabn;t even find the files because they are invisibkle, in others I don;t have permission to overwrite them. In fact in lots of case I wouldn't want our students writing or reading from some areas of the disc, but then again a human decides on that in the first instance. |
