What the F-key? F1 through F4 (Extended!) As promised I'm back with more function keys! This time we'll be talking about extended combinations like ALT, CTRL and Shift, and how they alter each F-key's function. Just to recap, the function keys are the line of “F” keys going across the top of your keyboard going from F1 to F12. F1 F2 F3 F4 Not quite as much functionality as I was expecting. Maybe the next set of F-keys will give us something a bit more substantial! Stay tuned! ~Andrew Did you like this tip? Did you not? Tell us by rating or adding to it here: Yep, it's Monday alright!

The BEST $6.97 You'll EVER Spend On Your Computer!! Hey - Are you a Widows Vista user? Are you going to be? Maybe just thinking about an upgrade? If so, you've just got to try the program that took me from newbie to pro in no time! It's called Professor Teaches Windows Vista and it makes learning Windows Vista a snap! If you're tired and frustrated with Vista, you're not alone! It's really a great system, but it's juuusssst different enough from previous versions of Windows to make you pull-your-hair-out-crazy trying to make it work the way you want! Come on - Why not say goodbye to all the headaches and take control? Professor Teaches Windows Vista is just the ticket out of frustrationville!
First off, this software uses over 150 absolutely fantastic multimedia presentations to show you how all the new features work - in every version of Vista! You'll really love how easy these terrific presentations are to follow and watch! See, you're not just reading a page of text; this uses engaging audio and video to explain exactly how you do something! PLUS I really love that they cover it all for each topic - there's not a single mouse click left out of the presentation! This won't leave you guessing - it'll leave you knowing EXACTLY what to do! It's like having Bill Gates sitting next to you, going over Vista step by step (only this is a little cheaper :-)!
Oh, and then it takes your learning to the next level! OK, you know how most people seem to learn better by "trying it out" on their own? Well, this has an amazing Vista Simulator built in! So, get this - you watch a lesson, then you can actually "try" it - just like you were using Windows, only you're not going to be able to mess anything up! How cool is that? If that's not the smartest way ever to teach Windows, I don't know what is! It's really like having a private computer tutor! Heck, you can even take a quiz at the end of the chapters to test your knowledge! Plus, you'll really love the way the presentations progress too- they won't leave you behind scratching your head! You'll start off with the basics, then move on to more advanced topics as you learn. Of course, you can always skip back and review, but let me tell ya, as good as this software is, you probably won't need to! Plus, if you need What's covered? HA - What isn't? This thoroughly covers everything you'll ever want to know about Vista! Want a small taste of what you're gonna get on this jam-packed CD? We're talking: setting up internet and e-mail, firewalls, online security, updates, networking, customizing your desktop, troubleshooting problems, disk maintenance, backups, getting remote help, printing, adding / removing programs from startup, intros to everything (desktop, explorer, folders, ect), customizing your start menu, getting the best performance, working with files and folders, using the taskbar, a bunch of great desktop tricks, and more!

Then I've Got An Awesome Program You'll Really Love! It's Canon's Photography Workshop and it's a must have if you enjoy taking pictures (digital or film). Oh, and don't worry, this isn't designed just for Canon camera owners, it's general advice that works for any camera owner. Now, before I get too far, I want you to know that I used to be a full time professional photographer and I taught a continuing education course in photography. So, when I say this is an great program for anyone who wants to take better photographs, you know you can trust the source ;-) In fact, if I'd had this interactive CD ROM at my disposal back when I was teaching, I could have passed it out and ended the class there - it's that good! It uses audio, video, and sample photos to teach you how to work all the controls on a camera. You simply pick what you want to learn. Oh, and it's also great for any skill level - beginner to advanced.
The best part of it is the way it's so "hands on". When you're in one of the many virtual "workshops" you can actually try different ways of taking the picture and see the results! It shows you in a few clicks of a mouse what it took an hour for me to explain in class! Here are some of the topic covered: The Art of Photography, Composition, Capturing The Decisive Moment, How To Tell a Story, Thinking Visually, Lenses, Aperture, Focus, Shutter, Exposure Lighting, Film, and much more!
No mater what kind of camera you use, this CD can improve the quality of pictures you're getting from it. I can't tell you how impressed I am with the solid advice this title provides! What's your price? Just $5.97 (retail is around $30) and US Shipping is FREE! PLUS - we'll toss in the FREE LED Keychain too!! You probably spent a good chunk of change on your camera, doesn't it make sense to get the most out of it? Wouldn't it be nice to know the photo you just snapped was going to be a winner instead of just hoping it "turns out ok"? Take a look: http://store.worldstart.com/ PS - The price will increase to $9.97 soon! The only way you lose on this deal is to pass it up! 25 Amazing Bonus Items!!!

Q: What are .pdf files?
http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep.html People use PDF files for everything. The most common use seems to be documents (both interactive and regular), but I've also seen PDF files used for maps, catalogs, presentations, and even e-books. Additionally, I've seen it used for non-web applications as well, including stuff like software help files. Some Adobe products such as Pagemaker and Illustrator let you save a file as a PDF file. The only other ways are to fork out the big bucks for the Acrobat program, or create PDF files online (5 times for free or subscribe to use). To turn your documents into pdf files online, follow this link: Another option is a neat little program called Primo PDF Creator . It is a printer driver that allows you to create a PDF file from any program by selecting Print and sending it to the PDF Creator instead of printing a hard copy. Best of all, it's freeware... ~ David Did you like this tip? Did you not like it? Tell us by rating or adding to it here:
Categorize Everything! Do you use the color-coded categories in MS Outlook 2007? I don't know about you but I love them in conjunction with e-mail rules so that as certain messages come in they are marked for my attention as soon as they hit my Inbox. What I'd like to discuss today is an extension of the category use. Did you ever notice that practically everything in Outlook 2007 can be categorized just like your e-mail? Take a look… For example, in the calendar right-click on an appointment
See the Categorize choice? It leads you to the exact same situation that you get when you right-click on a message. Or… instead of trying a right-click on everything, simply take a look at the Standard Toolbar.
See the Categorize button? If you have a task, note, appointment, contact, etc. that needs to be assigned to a category and this button is accessible then you can. It's as simple as that - no more difficult than it is to categorize a message. I should probably add that while I could categorize my contacts, the color coding doesn't show in all the view options… so, if you're looking to color code your contacts you may have to experiment with the way that you view them to get what you really want. Overall, I found that using this option can really help me to organize and prioritize. Since this feature is very visual with all the different colors to go with each category I find it extremely easy to see what needs to have my full attention with just a glance. Anything that makes my work and day go a little bit easier is a very good thing! ~ April Did you like this tip? Did you dislike it? Let us know by rating or adding to it here:
Have A High Definition TV? It's Not REALLY High Def Unless You're Using An HDMI Cable! Discover How Incredible Your HDTV Can Really Look! Other Cables Can't Deliver True High Definition - You MUST Use An HDMI Cable! And We Have A Gold-Plated Deal For You Today! W Unless you are connecting your DVD, Cable Box, Satellite Dish, Bluray, ect to your TV via an HDMI cable, you're just not getting the quality you paid for. Period. Other cables simply can't provide the bandwidth you need to get HD video to your TV at full resoultion. It's a shame to spend hundreds - or thousands - on a top notch TV, only to plug it in with crappy cables. I can tell you from experience you'll be blown away at what a difference the right cable can make in your picture! I've used 'em all - from the basic yellow/red/white AV cables, to "S" video, then Component Video then to HDMI - and it gets better each time (with HDMI being kind of the hill)! Only problem is, HDMI cables can be crazy expensive at the big box stores - $50, $100, even $200!! Want an affordable HDMI cable? We have 'em for you! These fantastic HDMI cables are going to upgrade your HD TV's picture instantly! We're talking 24K gold plated connectors, copper braided outer shield, and a design that's going to get you an amazingly clean, crisp picture! Bottom line: If you've got an HD TV and you're not using an HDMI cable, you're not watching HiDef TV - you're really not. Want to grab a cable? Well, this 6 foot HDMI cable is just $12.97 and US shipping is FREE! PLUS - We'll toss in that FREE LED Keychain Flashlight Too (so you see behind your TV to hook it up :) Anyone with an HDTV who's not using a cable is like a guy who won't drive his Ferrari past 25MPH! Grab one today! http://store.worldstart.com/ PS - Obviously, make sure your TV has HDMI inputs (any current HDTV will) and make sure whatever components you're plugging in do as well (again, any newer equipment will).
Your Hard Drive Is Going To Die! It Happens To Everyone - Do You Have A Backup? Amazing New Backup Software Makes It Easy! Set It And Forget It! Never Lose Photos, Images, Documents - Anything! Crazy Not To Grab This For Just $8.97! OK, STOP - What would happen if, right now, your computer completely crashed and ALL the data on it was lost? Think about that for a minute - how many photos would be gone? How many important documents? Songs? Presentations? E-mails? In fact, I've seen firsthand how terrible it is for people. Not just subscribers begging us (some in tears over the phone) to help them find a way to get unrecoverable lost data back, but I've had family and friends lose thousands of irreplaceable photos, work documents, reports, ect. It's just such a disaster when a hard drive goes out, or a virus destroys all your data, or even an accidental deletion wipes out important files. There are two kinds of computer users in this world - those that have lost important data and those that will! If you use a computer, you absolutely MUST backup your data! Everyone knows that! Well, I'm really excited to tell you about this fantastic new title we just came across- it's called Guardian Data Backup and it is, without a doubt, the best backup software I've ever used (and I've used some pretty nice stuff)! First off, I know what you're thinking - doing backups is a pain! Frankly, that's why we get soooo many people asking us if there's anyway to get lost data back! Wouldn't it be just fantastic if there was an easy-to-use program that you can set to do your backup jobs then just forget it? Well, that's what we have for you today! It has a help file with it, but I doubt anyone has had to even look at it - you can master this baby in about a minute! This amazing software FINALLY takes all the hassle out of doing backups! It's really this simple - First, create a backup job by picking out the folder or files you want to backup, then just tell the software where you want to backup to. Easy! Next, just hit the backup button whenever you want to backup those files / folders! Or, better yet, schedule your backup job for whenever you like - and it's done automatically at that time, every time! Just set it and forget it! If there's ever a crash, you'll automatically have a current backup!
Oh, and then it gets even better! You can actually create more than one backup job! In fact, you can create as many as you like. Why would you do that? Well, I don't know about you, but I don't change all my files all the time. My picture files are good if I backup once a week, but with the documents I use for work, well, those change constantly and I want them backed up every day. With multiple backup jobs, I can customize my routine to work the way I do! (Of course, you can do a manual backup anytime you like) Speaking of scheduling, this is just incredible! You can do backups daily, weekly, or monthly AND select whatever time you like! I have my backups set to run when I'm usually at lunch or dinner, so it all gets done while I'm away!
Oh, and here's something I absolutely LOVE - filters! This lets you create a "filtered" backup job - and it's the first backup program I've seen that does it! You can actually pick a folder and tell it to ONLY backup the types of files YOU want it to backup! Let's say you have a folder with ten different types of files, but you only want word docs and jpegs backed up - this can do it! OR let's say you have a folder and you want EVERYTHING backed up EXCEPT text docs - yup, this can do that too! It's all optional, but it's there if you need it.
Finally, as if all the above wasn't enough, this also compresses your backup files to save space - and it even lets you set how high the compression is! All of this is right at your fingertips and really easy to do! You know, everyone will tell you the "critical" software you have to have on your PC - Anti-virus, Anti-spyware, and a good firewall. Funny thing is they miss the most important one of all - backup software! To me, regular backups are as important - if not even more important, as running anti-virus, anti-spyware, etc! After all - a hard drive crash can happen at any time, just out of the blue - the ONLY defense is a reliable backup! Your cost? Get this, these are normally $30, but we got a deal for ya! Just $8.97 and US shipping is FREE! PLUS - order today and you'll get that handy LED Keychain Flashlight for FREE! Now, I KNOW your data is worth $9.97! RUN to the site and grab yourself a copy of this fantastic software - you'll thank me for it! http://store.worldstart.com/ PS - EVERYONE is going to experience a hard drive crash or some type of data loss if they are using computers - that's just the way it is. I've lived through several major crashes - hard drives just really do go out sometimes. I can't tell you the level of disaster it would have been if I didn't have a backup! Don't WISH you had this software when it happens - for less than $10, grab this today! PS - The price WILL Increase to $14.97 on Tuesday!
Selective Startup Do you have problems when you start up your computer? Does it seem to take a long time or you get strange messages? Fortunately Windows has something called "Selective Startup" that will help you figure out what's going wrong. Browse over to the Worldstart site today and check it out! Early Manuscripts at Oxford University Here's the link you need: http://www.worldstart.com/ Enjoy!
Selective Printing Every day I get email asking how to print just part of a web page or e-mail. With this much demand, I just have to show ya how it's done! First, you need to know that this does not work with every system out there . This tip only works if both your printer driver and the software application you're using supports this little trick. So, take this for what it's worth. Here's how it usually works: 1. First, select the area you would like to print.
2. Next, from the file menu , select Print... 3. When the printer dialog box comes up, look for an option for " Selection ", in a " Print Range " frame. Again, not all printers / software support this.
4. Click Print. Oh, one more thing. If you can't print a selection, you can always copy and paste the stuff you want into a word processor and print it from there. Sure, it's not nearly as much fun, but it's better than printing out eight pages of junk just to get a small section of text. ~ Steve Did you like this tip? Want some more?

Thanks for understanding that we need to prevent the nasties.
