Contents of the Clipboard With a mention of the Windows clipboard in another tip awhile back, questions about it have been rolling in. Most of the inquiries have basically been about what all goes on the clipboard. I've gotten several e-mails about this or that being saved on the clipboard or not. Well, I'm here today to help clear some of that up for you. Here we go! First of all, if you're not sure what the clipboard is, read here before you continue on. It will help the rest of this tip to make a lot more sense for you. Now, to make a long story short, pretty much anything you copy when using your computer is saved to the clipboard. As in everything, I mean any text, images, Web addresses, whole documents, folders, files and so on. Hopefully you get the picture! For example, if you make a screenshot on your computer using the Printscreen button, that will go to the clipboard until you paste it into your image editing program (like Photoshop). If you visit a Web site and want to share the URL with someone, copy it and it will go to the clipboard until you paste it into an e-mail. If you copy a picture you received in an e-mail, it will be on the clipboard until you paste it somewhere else. The pattern is always the same. The data will stay on the clipboard until you paste it somewhere, until it is covered up by something else or until you shut down your computer. So, now you know where all of your information goes and yes, the Windows clipboard is a pretty cool thing! ~ Erin Don't stop now! Keep reading to learn how you can still get rid of hidden programs on your computer, find out how to edit without ungrouping in various MS Office programs and learn how you can gain link freedom once again. Also, find out how to do a simple copy and paste with today's video tip and of course, don't miss out on Amanda's Cool Site of the Day. Enjoy!

Q: A: Bring up the Windows Explorer (one way to do this is to right click on the Start button and select Explore). Find your way to C:\Windows\Inf.

Next, right click "Sysoc.inf" and choose Open with, then Notepad.
Type Ctrl + H to bring up the Replace box. Replace ,hide, (comma hide comma) with ,, (comma comma). Then hit the Replace All button.
Save the file. Now, when you go to Start, Control Panel, Add/Remove Programs, Add/Remove Windows Components, you will see stuff that wasn't there before. Some of the items will be in subfolders, like "Games," which is under "Accessories." Double click to open any folder. Just uncheck the items you want to remove. There you have it. No more hidden programs! ~ David Have a question for the newsletter? Submit it at the link below:
Edit Without Ungrouping Do you frequently group drawing objects in any of the MS Office Suite programs? Then when you go back later and suddenly want to change a font size, line color or fill color, do you ungroup it all to make the changes? And when you're done, you end up doing a regroup. Am I right? Feel like you're repeating yourself yet? Well, here's something you may be interested in knowing! You can sub-select items from the group for changes to colors, shadows, lines and changes to text in shapes or text boxes, all without ungrouping! All you have to do is click once to select the group and with the group still selected, click on the shape that needs changed. Voila! You should see the specific element selected and now, you're free to make changes to that individual item. That's it. Two clicks and you're making changes without an ungroup in sight! ~ April

Hyperlink Mystery Have you ever had trouble opening a new link from your e-mail or even on a Web site? When you click on the link, just basically, nothing happens? Well, I'm here today to help you with that! I've gotten several e-mails recently about this very problem, so I'm glad you asked. This seems to be a somewhat common problem, so I did a little research on it, in hopes of finding a quick fix for you all! Fortunately, I found a few things that could be causing this to happen. To refresh, basically the problem is that whenever you're using your e-mail program or an instant messenger type program (or any other application) and a link is included, you click on it, but nothing happens. Your computer may freeze up for just a second, but when it's done, you're left right where you started from. Your browser will not open and you cannot, for the life of you, get a new window to come up from the link. How annoying is that?! Like I said before, there are a few things you can try to resolve this problem. Before we go any deeper, the first thing to check is your popup blocker. If you have a pop up stopper installed on your computer, it could be interfering with the links you are trying to open. If this happens to be the case, you can always hit the Ctrl button and click on the link again. Ctrl + a click allows the link to open. If that was your problem, you are very lucky. Another simple cause could be that you don't have the correct browser set as the default for your computer. If you use Internet Explorer, you have to make sure it is set as your default browser. To check this, open IE and go to Tools, Internet Options. Click on the Programs tab and make sure the box clear down at the bottom that says "Internet Explorer should check to see whether it is the default browser" is checked. This will allow IE to open any links you click on. If you use Firefox, go to Tools, Options and choose the General tab. Make sure the box that says "Firefox should check to see if it is the default browser when starting" is checked. If those two things still don't fix the link problem, there are a couple more options you can try. We need to check and make sure your folder options are set to your specific browser. Go to Start, Control Panel and make sure it is in the classic view. Once there, click on the Folder Options icon and choose the File Types tab. Now, you're going to look for the item "(NONE) URL: HyperText Transfer Protocol." Highlight that and click on the Advanced button, then the Edit button. This will bring up some information on your browser. You're mainly going to be looking at the Application line. If you use Internet Explorer, make sure it says IExplore and so on (for whichever browser you use). If you've recently switched browsers, you may still have your old settings in there and that could be causing the problem with the links. You just have to make sure you have the right browser selected so the links will open in the correct way. Okay, there's one more tip for you in case nothing has worked thus far. Go to Start, Run and type in "regsvr32 urlmon.dll" (without the quotes). Click OK when done and if a message pops up that says "DllRegisterServer in urlmom.dll succeeded," the problem should be fixed. If that still doesn't work, try typing in the following commands in the Run box: - Shdocvw.dll One of these options should solve the link problem you are experiencing and you can enjoy link freedom once again! ~ Erin If you enjoy our tips, tell your friends.

Welcome to Book Mooch, a site where you can give books away and get books you want to read in return. It’s absolutely free to join and browse. The only cost is to ship your books to others. All in all, it is a really sweet deal! I recommend joining right off the bat. To do so, click the Join tab and fill out the fields that are required. On the Join page, you will also find some links that will help better explain how things work. Look next to the Info area. There are three links: overview, points explained and interview. Once you’ve joined and logged in, you’ll have more tabs across the top. They are: Browse, Add, Inventory, Wishlist, Pending and Member Home. The Browse tab allows you to search for books that you would like to receive. You can do this by username, book title, by Amazon and there are even more options below the main search area. Add – This is where you can add books for other people to mooch from you. There are several ways to add them. I would start with by hand. Inventory – This shows the books that you’ve added for people to mooch off you. Wishlist – This is where you can keep a listing of books that you want to mooch. I highly recommend that everyone check out the FAQ section, as it helps clarify some of the questions you may have about points and shipping. You do have to earn points before you get free books, but really, the price of shipping isn’t that bad of a cost to get rid of books that may be cluttering up your house. I can’t wait to start whittling down my extensive stacks of books by giving them to people who are actually going to treasure them. Get started today! ~ Amanda Do you have a cool, non-commercial site that you want to share?
