Links for Sunday August 11, 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!

Our Guest this week is Brandon Guthrie from Crucial the memory people, the best upgrade you can do for your computer is add more memory.

It is Jim Eshelman’s web site
(This is a great troubleshooting site)

In Windows Me, to restore your system to a previous checkpoint you created in System Restore click the 'Start' button then go to Programs, Accessories, System Tools, and System Restore.

Now, select the 'Restore My Computer to an earlier time' and select the name of the checkpoint you created. Your computer should put itself back to the way it was before. One word of caution, do not use System Restore unless you have a true emergency. I recommend using less intrusive methods to attempt to restore data or the registry before using System Restore. Use it as a last resort.

Some of you may question the usefulness of the System Restore. It takes up a tremendous amount of time, space and computing power in order to maintain the System Restore functionality. If you are certain that this is a function that you will not need, you can disable System Restore by going to the Control Panel, then Selecting 'System' and choosing the 'Performance' tab then going to the 'File System'. Now, click on the 'Troubleshooting' tab and checkmark the 'Disable System Restore'.

Holding down the Alt Key, then pressing F4 will close down the active application.

Full DOS
If you are working at a DOS Prompt (command line) from within Windows, you can easily switch between full-screen and Windowed mode by simply holding down the Alt key and pressing Enter at the same time.

If you are left-handed, then perhaps a mouse click is not really an index finger event.

Ergonomically correct mice generally favor the right-handed, but for people who are left handed, mice are challenging. It is possible to change the clicking options of mice so that the "right click" is driven from the left-hander's index finger. To do this, open the control panel and select the mouse icon. Under the buttons tab is the option to alternate your mouse buttons. Now you can click with the index finger.
