How to moving the taskbar
|
|
If you want to move your taskbar. Mostly I leave mine at the bottom, like the rest of the population, but occasionally I feel like going wild and have the taskbar at the top of my computer. The Taskbar is that thin bar at the bottom where you can see all your open programs, the start menu, the clock, etc. Now, in WinXP they made it very nice to move it. This is how:
- Right Click on the Taskbar
- Click, Lock the Taskbar, until there is no check there
- Left Click on the task bar and move it to where you want it...it will always rest up against an edge, so top, left or right.
- Then click, Lock the Taskbar, again and it won't move from that spot.
These are the same instructions for Windows 98, ME, 2k, only you don't have to unlock the taskbar, you just left click on it and move...this was easier, but also you sometimes accidentally moved the task bar when you didn't want it to move, ugh. Well, there you have it, now put your taskbar to the top and see if you like

How to Select Multiple files using the Ctrl Key
|
|
This is a very simple process. Here's what you do:
- Click on the first file you want to move
- Go to the second file you want to select before clicking this file, hold down the ctrl key and then click. You'll notice that both files are now selected
- Repeat this process for as many files as you want to select at once
It's just so simple.

How to Remove Content Advisor Password in Internet Explorer

The following steps will remove any password set in the Internet Explorer Content Advisor and allow you to reset the program to its original state.
- Click on Start and choose Run.
- Type in RegEdit and select OK.
- Now click on the little plus sign to the left of H_KEY_LOCAL_MACHINE.
- Continue to drill down, always clicking on the plus sign at the left of the named key, through Software, Microsoft, Windows, Current Version and Policies.
- Now click on the Ratings folder.
- In the right pane of the RegEdit window, you'll see an icon called Key. Click on it and press Delete.
- Next, choose Registry and then Exit to exit RegEdit. You've just deleted your original Content Advisor password.
- Restart the computer and run Internet Explorer again.
- Choose View and then Internet Options (or Options for version 3.x). For IE 5 or greater, Click on Tools, Internet Options.
- Click on the Content tab and click on Disable. When asked for a password, don't enter anything; just click on OK. This will disable Content Advisor because there's no longer a password.

How to Alphabetizing your Start Menu
|
|
In fact that if you go to try and find a program its actually becoming really hard because they're not alphabetized, new programs are stuck on the end, so forth and so on, well, this is a really quick, reallllly easy tip to organize your start menu in Windows XP (I think this also works in Win 98, but I'm upgrading my comp that has Win 98 and can't verify it). Here are the steps:
- First click on the start button
- Move your mouse to "All Programs"
- Move your mouse to any of the folders there
- Right Click
- A box will open up, scroll to "Sort By Names" and click
Like magic all the folders and programs will be alphabetized. This is one of those simple but useful things that will help you organize your computer, unless you really like searching around for programs (bet you also used to enjoy Where's Waldo when you were growing up). That's it for this tip, give it a try.
