Deleting IE 7 Cookies Lately, several of you have been asking about deleting cookies in Windows Vista and while that's a valid question, I think we all may be a little confused about this whole thing. For starters, cookies don't really lie within your operating system, rather they come from your Web browser. So, even if you're using the operating system of Vista, your cookies are still stored in whichever browser you use, such as Internet Explorer or Firefox. (Also, just to make sure we're all on the same page here, if you're not familiar with cookies, you can read all about them here). Okay, with all that taken care of, let's continue! From all of your questions about cookies in Vista, I've come to the conclusion that you're really asking about cookies in Internet Explorer 7. Vista comes with IE 7 as the default Web browser, so if you're new to using that, let's go over how you can delete cookies from there. To begin, go to Start, Control Panel and double click on the Internet Options icon to open the Internet Properties box. (You need to be in the classic view for this to work. To get there, just click on the Classic View link on the left hand side of the Control Panel window). Once you're there, look for the Browsing History section and hit the Delete button. Another window with several options will then come up for you. Click on the Delete Cookies button to get rid of all your stored cookie files. You will then be asked if you're sure you want to delete your cookies, so when you're ready, just hit Yes. Next, hit the Close button and then the OK button to close everything out. That's all you have to do. All of your cookies will be gone for good (that is, until you make new ones!) Either way, this is a good thing to do on a regular basis, just to make sure the information you put on the Internet is kept as safe as possible! ~ Erin You can't stop now!

Q: A: The simple answer is "No." All of the Windows operating systems support multiple printers, so you can install your brand new printer without having to remove the old one. Now, if you really want to get rid of the old one and start fresh, you can do so by going to Start, Control Panel and choosing Printers and Other Hardware. From there, click on Printers and Faxes. (For versions older than Windows XP, go to Start, Settings, Printers). Once there, a screen with all of your printers will open. Find the one you want to get rid of, right click it and select Delete from the resulting menu. That's all you have to do! An Extra Note: If you have multiple printers installed on your computer and your Windows isn't using the one you want as the default printer, don't stress out! To change your default printer, just right click on the one you want to be your default and select Set as Default from the resulting menu. There you have it! It's almost too easy, huh? Now, go on and enjoy your newly installed printer! ~ Steve Have a question for the newsletter? Submit it at the link below:
Give It a Quick "Face Lift" Are you getting tired of the same old look when you browse through your MS PowerPoint 2007 themes? I don't know about you, but I have certain themes I just love, yet I also tend to get bored with the same look over and over again. So, of course, I had to wonder if there was a way to keep my favorite themes, while still getting a new look as well. As is customary for me, I began hunting and was pleased to find a quick and easy way to give my favorite themes a "face lift!" Interested in knowing how to give your old themes a fresh new look? Good! Then let's head over to the Design tab on the PowerPoint ribbon. You're looking for the Theme section, but it's not the same area where you choose a theme. What you need is just to the right of your theme choices. Now, while there are a lot of changes that can be made to almost anything you create, I'd like to focus on the Colors button. If you click on the Colors button, you'll see an entire list of color schemes. Choosing a different color scheme will give your presentation the "fresh" look you've been craving! You'll find that PowerPoint keeps the same elements in your theme, but it changes out the old colors for those in the corresponding positions in the newly chosen scheme. (A quick word of advice: Take a minute to go through your slideshow after the changes are made. Sometimes a color will be unexpectedly switched to a figure you may have added to a slide, such as a shape). There you have it. All that seemed old now looks brand new! ~ April

Windows Vista E-mail I'm not sure what it is, but a lot of you have been asking about the e-mail program found in Windows Vista lately. Maybe there's a group of you that have just upgraded to Vista and you want to know what your e-mail options are or perhaps, you all just have a sudden interest in Windows Mail. Either way, I've got a tip for you today that will answer all of your questions about it and then some! In case you haven't figured it out yet, Windows Mail, as it is technically called, is the new e-mail program for Windows Vista. It comes right along with it and you can use it basically the same way you used Outlook Express in Windows XP. It's a really good e-mail client, so whether you're new to Vista or you've been working with it for awhile, you're definitely going to want to check this out. Let's get started! So, in the last few minutes, I have been racking my brain, trying to think of the best way to present this new e-mail program to you all. The most useful thing I came up with is to just show you how to set up your Vista Mail account to get it going so you can actually start to use it for all your e-mail needs. I have a feeling that some of you have probably been looking around on your new Vista computer for Outlook Express. Well, you're not going to find that, but do look for something called Windows Mail. That's what you need! To get there, go to Start and click on Windows Mail. Now, if you have not set up your account yet, you will see a wizard pop up that will take you through all the steps. Here they are in a nutshell: 1.) Type in your name (or at least the name you want all of your receivers to see when you send them e-mail). Click Next when you've decided. 2.) Enter in your e-mail address. This can be the same one you've used for years or if you'd like to create a new one (in Yahoo!, Hotmail, etc.), you can do so. Click Next again when you're done. 3.) The next step asks you for your Incoming and Outgoing names. This is actually information you will need to get from your ISP. If you used Outlook Express on your other computer, you can use the same information, but if you don't remember it, contact your ISP to get it. That's the only way you'll get past this part of the setup. Click Next when you're finished. 4.) Next, you'll need to choose a username and password for your e-mail account. At this stage, you can click the "Remember" checkbox. That way, you won't have to type it in each time you open your Windows Mail. Then click Next. 5.) If you're all set, you can click the Finish button and your account will automatically be set up. Yep, it's as easy as that! A little less confusing than setting up an Outlook Express account, but it still asks for all the important information needed. So, once you have your account all ready, you can start to look through it and figure out how to use it. But, don't worry too much, because it's very similar to OE, version 6. So, if you used that before, you should be just fine. The first thing I noticed with Windows Mail was that the views were pretty much the same. There's the box on the top and the box on the bottom. The top shows your received e-mails in a list and the bottom shows the actual e-mail content. I also noticed that the folders on the left hand side were exactly the same, including Inbox, Outbox, Sent Items, Deleted Items, Drafts and Junk E-mail. The menus along the top were fairly similar as well. I'm sure you'll notice that they are no longer icon type buttons, but a bit of a smaller version. You'll see Create Mail, Reply, Reply All, Forward and Send/Receive. All of those work just like OE. A couple things that were different are the Print and Delete buttons. In Windows Mail, the Print button is an actual icon of a printer and the Delete button is just a big red X. You just have to click on those to print or delete your e-mails. I guess they weren't good enough to get their own buttons this time around. : ) After those, there is a series of new icons. If you hover your mouse over them, you'll see that one is Contacts, the second is Windows Calendar and the third is Find. With Contacts, you can click on that icon to add people to your address book. It's a very convenient way of accessing the e-mail addresses and names you need. Just a quick click and there they are. The Windows Calendar is another very cool feature. Click on that button and a calendar will pop up for you. You can go from month to month, making notes of your appointments, etc. It's very easy to use and great for keeping track of your daily activities. The Find button is where you can either search for a particular message, a certain person or for text in a certain e-mail message. That way, if you lose an e-mail, you can search by any of these criteria to retrieve it much faster. There is also a Search box at the top of the window and you can use that to search for e-mail messages as well. Just type in a few keywords you know were used in the e-mail you're looking for and it should come right up in the window for you. It's as easy as pie! Everything else with Windows Mail is pretty much the same as what you're probably used to. The menus along the very top are the same, including File, Edit, View, etc. You can still access your preferences through the Tools, Options menu as well. All of those tabs are the same too, so you can set up your account just the way you want it. Windows Mail does have some new stationery options to choose from. You can get those by going under the Message menu. My favorite is the green bubbles choice. It gives the e-mails I send out some real jazz! So, as you can see, everything is still pretty much the same as Outlook Express 6, but be sure to browse through Windows Mail and familiarize yourself with everything. I'm sure a lot of you will get the hang of things right away, but at least you now have a small guide to go by. And you know, there's always the Help menu if you need extra help. Now, go on and enjoy your new Vista e-mail program. Yes, yes, yes! ~ Erin If you enjoy our tips, tell your friends. That's what keeps this newsletter growing.
Vista Shortcut Manager Some time ago, Steve wrote a tip about removing the little arrows you see in the corners of all your icons. Those arrows indicate that the file is a shortcut, but that doesn't make them any less annoying! Now, just in case you're not quite sure what I'm talking about, here's a sample picture:
That tip was great and it has helped many people, but it only covered Windows 98, ME, 2000 and XP. So, what about Windows Vista? Well, after doing a little research, I found a free program that will help you get rid of your shortcut arrows in Vista! The program is called Vista Shortcut Manager and it's so easy to use! Simply install the program and choose how you'd like your icons to look.
You can download the Vista Shortcut Manager program for 32bit Windows Vista here or if you're using x64 Vista, you can download it here. Note: If your system doesn't specifically say "x64," you have the 32bit version. Also, for those of you who are still using Windows XP, you can read Steve's original tip about shortcut arrows right here. Enjoy! ~ Gary For stories, jokes, quotes and cartoons every day, sign up for our Just for Grins newsletter.
Today, let’s take a break from all the Halloween preparations, all the costume making and the party planning. Instead, let's play a game! This game has sound, so you may not want to play it at work (or at least turn those speakers off!) It’s a game of Hangman with a mouthy skeleton as the hanged man. Guess the letters and for each one you get right, you score points. For each one you get wrong, another part of the skeleton’s body gets added to the hangman’s noose. The words in the puzzle revolve around a Halloween theme, so that should help you with your guesses. If you guess the first word right, you get to continue. If not, start over and try again. If you get on a roll, you can really rack up the points as your score continues to grow with each word you get right. My highest score was 130, with Vampire Bat as the word. I think the scoring really depends on how long the word is. Are you ready to take on this spooky version of Hangman? Go for it! http://www.dedge.com/flash/hangman/ ~ Amanda Do you have a cool, non-commercial site that you want to share?
