Microsoft issues Cuartango patch
Microsoft has issued a patch for a security hole in its Internet
Explorer Web browser that exposes users' files to hostile Web
site operators and email senders. The hole, named "Cuartango"
after its discoverer, permitted a scripting exploit that allowed
someone to swipe files off a victim's hard drive or from their
network, either through a maliciously designed Web site they
visited or through an HTML-based email received in a program
such as Microsoft's Outlook Express or Outlook 98. For users
unable to download the patch, Microsoft recommends the
temporary workaround that it offered when the hole surfaced:
users can thwart potential attacks by turning off active
scripting under Internet Explorer's security zones.

You seem to be running Internet Explorer 4.01 on Windows 95 or Windows NT 4.0,
which is susceptible to the "Untrusted Scripted Paste" security issue.
We recommend that you download the patch for this browser now.
Note: At this time, this patch is available for the English language version only.
International versions will be available soon.(19981027)

FINDING A LOST FILE
How many times have you created a file and then couldn't remember what you called it?
When this happens, use Windows 95's Find utility to locate your file. To do so, click
the Start button and select the Files or Folders... command from the Find menu.
Windows 95 will display the Find All Files dialog box. The Find utility is initially set to
look for files by a certain name and location. However, this won't help you if you can't
remember what you called the file in the first place. You can substitute the missing parts
in any filename by using the "joker" sign, " * "(multiply), for example " *.doc " will look for
all files on your hard drive with the extension " DOC " witch are Word documents.
" *.* " will look for all files on disk no matter what filename or extension. If you know
approximately when you last modified the file, you can click on the Date Modified tab.
The Find utility then allows you to search for all files that were last modified between
certain dates or within a specified number of days or months. Simply enter your search
criteria and click the Find Now button. If you're not sure when the file was last modified,
click the Advanced tab.
The Advanced tab allows you to search for a certain string of text within a file or search
for a file of a specific size.
Again, enter your search criteria and click the Find Now button to begin the search.
