You are right in that to enough degree. In this case it would have
been of advantage.

From my experience it is also a reason to strip down my questions to
something as simple as possible. Then I get useful answers. The strace
program, Dale suggests, is a good answer for me. I am not only using
Vista after all. I still can boot Gentoo/Linux to find the answer by
that program.

If I explain the esoteric context, to ask a simple newby question
thereafter, people often give crazy comments and you go without an
answer. Everything out of their horizon is evil for some stubborns.
That is also a real live experience. It is tiresome, if that happens
to often.

I guess you knows this, you ask: How to do this and that ... people
start a political discussion ... why do you want to do this and that?
Time is lost, no answer yet. That is often simply counter productive.

Hence, I became a little conservative with explaining esotric
contexts. But, in this case it was the other way round. I got the
comments, because I didn't explain the context. There isn't a perfect
world. :-)
