celtish Posted June 6, 2007 Posted June 6, 2007 (edited) (1) When I go to alter stuff in Multimedia (Control Panel) I am told to do it through 'Device Manager' in the Control Panel. But I do not have a Device Manager in the CP! I've do not seem to have a CPL for Device Manager - how do I get hold of it?(2) What is URI (uniform resource ?indicator?). I was recently asked to enter the URI on an online form and had no idea what my URI was ..... Edited July 29, 2007 by celtish
herbalist Posted June 6, 2007 Posted June 6, 2007 The device manager is a tab on the system control panel applet. If it's missing, you can access it via windows\system\sysdm.cpl.Rick

submix8c Posted July 29, 2007 Posted July 29, 2007 WikiPedia "URL"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/URLDunno what would ask you for a URL, but there's the definition...
marxo Posted July 29, 2007 Posted July 29, 2007 (edited) I think he wanted U R I (last one is capitol i)...“Uniform Resource Indicator”, is a short string of characters that represent the address or location of resources, typically on the internet, and how that resource should be accessed.Rest of it @ Define URI Edited July 29, 2007 by marxo
submix8c Posted July 30, 2007 Posted July 30, 2007 @marxo - thx, good info; made us smarter...@celtish - but still, what is asking for one? links usually contain the whole shebang and browsers usually(?) autofill(?) "http" before "www".
celtish Posted August 1, 2007 Author Posted August 1, 2007 ... looked up all those references, guys, but they didn't really gel with me.It was this online form which asked me not for my URL but for my URI ... Stupid form, anyway - didn't work!!!!

Stupid form, anyway - didn't work!!!!URL is URI too, dont forget, but maybe in that case it really was 'URI' indeed (Unidentified Resource Ientifier )
celtish Posted August 16, 2007 Author Posted August 16, 2007 Even after reading all the references I am still having a problem getting my head 'round this. Could someone please come up with a real example?
