For those of us that are computer illiterate

SJ, you are a kind individual for not using my post as an opportunity to pour scorn

I actually knew what the desktop is but that probably is the limit of my knowledge

I'll put that one up there with your love of Kenny G

I'm working a help desk in a university, but don't think that makes all the Users geniuses.
You be surprised at some of the things I've seen and heard.

I once got a call: "my overhead isn't working"
I walked across campus, entered the room, and pushed the 30-cm wide, neon orange (on a dark brown box) switch that says on/off.
The prof got a face full of light, and I quickly left.

Just like the fact that there's always someone better than you at something, theres always someone much, much worse

Val, we don't want to open that old sore again do we? otherwise, you will have to admit you own Kenny G and Curtis Stigers CDs and Gryphin will be going on about Enigma again

SJ,
Well said. I do desktop support for about 100 people. It is good to see another support person who does not deride the Users. When I supported MS, (don't hate me), many of the techs did it on a regular basis in subtle back handed ways. It was nothing you could point at since the tone infection was polite. Later in the "real world" I found they continued to do so.
I'd work for you anyday.

Those of us working in the computer support industry often fall victim to the "Nick Burns" syndrome. But hopefully noone does that in this forum.

Tks SJ, Geo, Val, Tesco for the help, I admit I'm not one up on computerology, so I need all the help I can get and I have a hunch there are more out there they just afraid to say or ask, But, I admit my ignorance in certain aspects of Mods. Tks again, and SJ, by all means do the pics, anything that will help, Now for my dumb question of the day.

I go to my computer, find D drive, find the extras with the mods on the CD, now when I pick one, up pops winzip which I have, This is the one place I lose it. When I unzipped it, it went to the unzipped file folder and created folder of its own in My Documents, this was the Mod Helper Mod. Soooo, When it shows the path in the box, before I hit the unzip button what do I change in order to get it to go to SE4Gold or get it to the desktop? dumb right?
