Registered Documents
Many of the different types of documents that you will
find in folders are registered with Windows 98.
That means the type of file is known to Windows 98
because of the file's extension. For example, the file
"readme.txt" is a text file—a file that contains only basic
text, without any special formatting commands or
computer instructions. The Windows 98 Explorer does
not show file extensions. A registered document will
have a file type associated with it.
A document that ends with ".doc," for example,
"resume.doc" is most likely a MS Word document,
because .doc is the extension assigned to MS Word
document files.
If a filename extension is registered in Windows 98, you
may load both the document and it's host program at the
same time by double-clicking the filename when viewed
in Explorer.
In this example, "Readme" has a registered filename
extension. When the file "Readme" is double-clicked the
document is loaded into Windows 98's Notepad program.

Setting Screen Resolution
To set the resolution of the screen (how many dots of
light are displayed on the monitor):
1.
Click
Settings
Each video
manufacturer has
its own settings.
Your "Settings"
dialog box may
vary from this
example.
The higher the screen resolution, the smaller text and
graphics will appear on the screen.
Because, the physical monitor size is fixed: 14", 17", etc.
However, the number of pixels of light that can be
displayed is dynamic. The more pixels you use, the
smaller the images; however, the resolution improves.
For example, 1024 x 768 is a more resolute screen image
than 640 x 480. The first number is the horizontal pixel
count, the second number is the vertical pixel count.
