Links for Sunday June 30, 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!

Windows 98 allows a user to make cut/copy of something and paste it into another application. This is a great tool, but also can be a memory hog, causing your computer to slow down. To alleviate this, simply copy a single word in a document, and whatever image or object that filled that spot previously will be pushed out.

External Zip drives, such as those made by Iomega, are great for saving and easily transporting a large amount of information without using a CD burner. Just remember that unlike regular hard drives, a Zip drives contents, once delete, and are gone for good. They cannot be undeleted using regular means.

Sometimes, the name of a program running in Windows is longer than the taskbar's button. If you hold your mouse cursor over the button for a few seconds, the entire name will be displayed. Also, if you have a file open in some tasks, the filename currently being reviewed is usually also displayed.

Press the Start button, and select the run command. At the prompt, type MSINFO32 and a dialogue box will appear with all kinds of information about your computer.

In most Windows applications and software, help is quickly and easily available by simply pressing the F1 button. Immediately pop-up windows or those little characters will show up with message boxes and search indexes ready to assist you with your dilemma.
