    Hi,

    Now and then I want to save a certain webpage to my harddisc and later check out the files (and delete some of them).
    However, as soon as I delete the main .hmtl file Windows XP automatically deletes all related subdirectories and files ... while I only wanted to delete that singe html file.
    I have once read this setting can be change, so that the files are longer "linked to one another ", but don't remember how ...

    does anybody happen to know this ?


    Thanks in advance,

    Marc

    In TweakUI for XP, click Explorer. Uncheck the box that says "Manipulate Connected Files As A Unit ".
