Links for Sunday February 24, 2002

If anyone would like to download a US Flag for their email or web site here are a few I found.
To download any Flag just right click on it and click on Save Picture as:
Keep your flag outside all of the time.
Remember the flag must be lit up at night. So leave it out all night, just put a light on it.

GOD BLESS AMERICA!

John from www.Jett.net is going to talk to us about Mac's and some of the new toys that have come out for them.

One of the most annoying "features" in Explorer is the inability to create a new folder while clicking within Explorer. If you have tried to find the right click and/or keyboard combination to create a new folder, it does not exist. The only way (if anyone knows another, I'm listening) to create a folder is from within the File Menu. Select New, then Folder.

If you're the artsy type of individual and want to create your own personal touch on your desktop, one avenue you may wish to pursue is creating your own icons. To do this, open Paint and before doing any creating, do this:

Click Image, Attributes, and make the height 32 pixels,
click OK.
Click View, Zoom and select the "Show Grid" option.
Click View, Zoom, Custom, and go to 800%, click OK.

Now, you can create to your heart's content. Save the file as .BMP, and then in Explorer, rename it to an .ICO file.
Use this icon wherever you wish.

If you're interested in learning more about your system and its components, click the Start Button and select Run. Type MSINFO32.EXE and Windows will run a program that gives you more information than you ever wanted to know about your system.
