Saving your Favorites to a Flash Drive

I get lots of emails on how to save your Favorites to a Flash Drive. This will also work for saving your bookmarks in Firefox. Go to search and enter Favorites, find the Favorites folder, right click on it and send it to the flash drive. If you have Firefox, search for Bookmarks.

Customize the taskbar(Windows Vista)

You can customize your taskbar, (the bar at the bottom of your screen) in Windows Vista. There are a number of things that you can do to it that might make using your computer more to your liking. An easy way to find out what these are is to click on your Start button in the lower left of your screen and then click Control Panel. In the upper right of your screen type in "Customize the Taskbar. A window will appear, under Taskbar and Start Menu, click on Customize the Taskbar. There you will find several things that you can do to the taskbar. At the bottom of that window you will see "How do I Customize the Taskbar", click on it and you will find more options.

Check your download speed

Knowing your download speed can alert you to computer problems. If you have a dialup Internet connection you can expect to see a low download speed. If you have a broadband connection you should see much faster speeds. You can go to this web page to see more and find three places to check your speed.

Allowing Automatic Updates

We receive emails wanting to know if you should allow automatic updates in Windows XP or Vista. Some say that after allowing the updates to install, they sometimes experience problems that they did not have before. Therefore they have turned off the updates. You should always allow updates, most of them are to fix security holes that might put your computer at risk. However you can take control over what updates install on your computer by changing settings. Go to your Control Panel in XP click on Automatic Updates. You can put a check mark in "Notify me but don't automatically download them." In Vista go to your Control Panel, click Check for updates, then click change settings in the left column and choose the way you would like the downloads handled.
