 Please post any tips you know of, for other readers to refer to.
It could be literally anything to do with IT/Computers/Programming/Word/Software etc., anything at all that you think others may benefit from.

Well. . .let me see. Probably one of the biggest issues that many people run into nowadays is spyware. Spyware screws up your computer. It dumps a bunch of crap files onto your hard disk and robs your computer of resources. Many "free" supposed spyware killers do nothing but dump more spyware onto your machine.
You don't need a spyware package to solve the issue. You can solve this problem by simply deleting the directories for the spyware that has installed onto your computer. When you look at your program list in "add/remove programs". You should be able to note the software packages that you know are not supposed to be on your computer. You can try uninstalling them there. The uninstall will most likely fail. But you can go to the "c:\program files" directory and find those software installs, then delete them. If you can't, just reboot your computer into "safe mode". That will give you sufficient access to delete any spyware directory.

At least once a month, do a defrag of your computer.
Keep your anti virus up to date.

Quick Properties
A quick way to view the properties of a file or folder is to hold down the Alt key and then double-click the left mouse button.
This method is much quicker than right clicking the mouse and then selecting the Properties option from the drop down list.
Quick Windows Shutdown
Tired of going through the START menu and dialog boxes when you want to shut down Windows? Here's a tip for adding a shortcut to your desktop which will do the same thing, but without all the hassle.- Right-click the desktop and select New-Shortcut.
- Type c:\windows\rundll32.exe user.exe,exitwindows in the 'Command line' field, and click Next. Leave a space between rundll32.exe and user.exe.
- Type Windows Shutdown as the shortcut's name, and click Finish.
- The shortcut will now appear on the desktop. If you would like it in the Start menu then drag the icon onto the Start menu and wait for the menu to open. Now place the shortcut where you want it.
Bypass The Recycle Bin
If there is a file you are absolutely sure you want to delete you can bypass the Recycle Bin.
Just hold down the Shift key while clicking Delete, and the file will be deleted without being sent to the Recycle Bin. Just remember, now you have no way to retrieve the file, easily, that is, if you delete it this way.

Microsoft Word: Save and Close Everything at Once
If you use Microsoft Word, here's a great time-saving tip. When you're done for the day, don't bother closing and saving all your files individually--that's for sissies.
Instead, just press the Shift key as you open the File menu. You've just changed the Save command to say Save All, and the Close command to say Close All.
By the way, you won't find this secret in the manual--because Word doesn't come with one.

Introduction
The more you use your PC, the more it will collect odd files that you no longer need, taking up unnecessary disk space. It is therefore a good idea to regularly clean out your system, getting rid of the files you no longer need to make space for new ones.
You can also run maintenance programs which can 'defrag', or clean up, your files and arrange them in a way which makes it easier for your PC to find certain ones. By doing this, you can improve the speed at which Windows finds your files and runs your programs.
Before You Start
Although emptying redundant files and defragmenting your harddrive is common practice among most PC users, there is always the possibility that something may go wrong. It is therefore recommended that you make backups of important files such as those in your My Documents folder before following these steps.
You should always be careful when deleting files you no longer think you need, and if you aren't sure it is probably best to leave them alone.
Your version of Windows may contain a System Restore feature, in which case you can create a Restore Point to return to if you have any problems. Consult your Windows Help (click on the Start menu then Help and Support) for more information about this feature.
When running Disk Cleanup and Defragmenter, you should avoid having any other programs running at the same time.
The Recycle Bin
When you delete a file, don't forget that usually this just means it has been moved to the Recycle Bin. If you do not regularly empty your Bin, the files inside may take up valuable disk space.
Double click the Recycle Bin icon on your desktop to see which files are currently stored in there. If there are any files in the Bin that you want to restore back to the original place you deleted them from, right-click on the files and select Restore. If you are happy you no longer require any of the files in the Recycle Bin, you can remove them from your computer by right-clicking the Recycle Bin icon and selecting Empty recycle bin.
You should empty your Recycle Bin regularly, say once a week.
Disk Cleanup
When working with programs, Windows stores information in temporary folders, but does not always clean them out afterwards, leaving behind unnecessary files. The Disk Cleanup system tool allows you to clean out Windows components and programs you no longer need, and remove these temporary files.
From the Start menu, click on Programs> Accessories> SystemTools> Disk Cleanup. On newer versions of Windows, Disk Cleanup may now take a few minutes to compress files older than 50 days. The main Disk Cleanup window shows two tabs - Disk Cleanup and More Options.
In the Disk Cleanup tab window, put a tick in the following boxes if you wish to clean out these unnecessary files:
- Downloaded program files
- Temporary internet files
- Recycle bin
- Temporary files
Click on the More Options tab and you can choose to get rid of unwanted Windows components, remove installed programs you no longer use, and remove all but the most recent System restore point.
When you have selected everything you want to clean up, click on OK then Yes to confirm you want to begin the Disk Cleanup process.
You should try to delete temporary files regularly, say once a week.
Defragmenting Your Hard Disk
Defragmenting your hard disk helps Windows arrange files in a way that makes it easier and faster for it to find your programs.
From the Start menu, click on Programs> Accessories> SystemTools> Disk Defragmenter.
It is recommended that you read the Defragmenter Help manual before beginning the defragmentation process. Click on Help from the menu at the top of the Disk Defragmenter window.
Please note that it is possible for 'defragging' your disk to take several hours if it is particularly fragmented, during which time you should not run any other programs.
Some important points from the Help manual to remember:
- Analyze volumes regularly and defragment them only when Disk Defragmenter recommends it. A good guideline is to analyze volumes at least once a week. If you seldom need to defragment volumes, analyze volumes monthly instead of weekly.
- If a volume has less than 15% free space, Disk Defragmenter will only partially defragment it. To increase the free space on a volume, delete unneeded files or move them to another disk.
To start the defragmentation process, click the volume that you want to defragment, and then click Defragment.

People forget to always do this..
Get an external hard drive... and use it to back-up your work, media, music whatever.. becuase once the hard drive packs up, be prepared to pay 5x the amount of the hard drive cost to get it recovered... a company charged £600 just to get my work back which was only about 60gig..

Or alternatively, get a second hard drive installed internally in your pc, which is used for backup purposes.
You then can use a program such as Norton Ghost to copy all your important stuff from your main hard drive to the backup drive.
It then the worse scenario happens, you can then just clone your information from your backup drive over your main drive. You be good as new then.
Trust me, this has saved my skin on several occassions...

There comes a time when you have to get down and dirty with your computer. The only way to avoid this is to buy a new machine.
I am talking about dust.
Since the late 90s computers have gotten a lot faster and a lot HOTTER. Manufacturers combat this heat with fans, sucking more air thru the computer to get rid of the heat. But with that air comes dust. Most of the dust goes all of the way thru, but a little bit stays. That little bit catches more and that more catches still more and soon things get out of hand.
The original IBM PC had one fan in the power supply and it sucked air thru the computer. My fastest machine has SIX FANS, three with the case, two in the power supply and one on the CPU heatsink. The original PC had no heatsink on the CPU much less another fan. This is what happens when you go from 26,000 transistors to 26,000,000 on a single chip. More transistors need more power and therefore produce more heat.
The dust prevents getting rid of the heat in two ways. It blocks the flow of air and even slows down the rotational speed of the fans. It also acts as an insulating blanket holding the heat in for the parts that need to be cooled. Under worst case conditions this can destroy your CPU. It can also cause your computer to shut down under certain conditions of use and temperature. Running a certain job on a cool day works fine but on a hot day the computer stops. It doesn't occur to most people that the temperature of the room has anything to do with it.
The heatsink on the CPU has lots of thin vanes and the fan on top blows air down into the vanes. I have seen machines where a layer of dust has built up between the fan and the heatsink and very little air gets in to cool the CPU. The only way to fix this is to unscrew the fan and brush the dust out.
The CPU heatsink is probably the most critical point but other places should be checked. The fan to the power supply. The vents where air is sucked into the computer. The fans on the graphic cards if present. The dust can get bad enough to cause problems in a few months in a dusty environment.
So this shows you not everything about computers in HIGH TECH.
Clean machines are COOL machines, especially if they are hot.
umbrarchist
ps - This applies to laptop computers now too. My Inspiron has a fan for the CPU heatsink. I have seen laptops with this area clogged up.

Want to move lots of files/folders at once?
Open the folder containing the folders/files you wish to move, (for example 'My Documents'). Holding down the Ctrl. (Control) key, select each file/folder in turn. Keep them highlighted. Then from the 'Edit' menu, click on 'Move To Folder'. A box will appear containing a list of folders. Click on the folder, where you want your file/folder to go, (could be in a sub-menu), then click 'Move'.
Watch as folders disappear together!
*NOTE: Take your time selecting the files/folders to be moved. As a precaution I suggest three at a time; hold down the Ctrl. key, highlight three folders/files, then relax. Select three more, relax and so on. This is because the Ctrl. key is also used to Copy files/folders. If you are not careful you could end up with more folder/files then you orginally started with!
**You can delete a lot of files this way too, by going to File/Delete instead of Edit/Move to Folder.

If you hold down the 'Windows' and the 'D' key you can not only 'Minimize' windows, but press the same keys again, the windows will 'Maximize'.
I find it very useful when the system crashes because sometimes it has worked through that as well!

And STOP HOSTING EVERYTHING ON A SINGLE DISK VOLUME.
Your first disc should contain nothing more than-
1. The operating system
2. A firewall
3. Antivirus
It doesn't need to have any more capacity that 4-10 GB.
Your second drive should be paritioned logically to categorically host all of your software and data. This drive can be as large as you 'd like, but I'd save room for backing up files.
For example. You'd have a logical partition named OFFICE that is where your office suite goes; another called MUSIC, another called AUDIO, etc.
Now on the second drive reserved about 1 GB of space and install another antivirus or anti whatever product. If something slips past the first checker the second will catch it.
If something goes really wrong with your operating system just NUKE the primary drive. Re-install the operating system and other programs that need to be registered (you'll be surprised how many don't-and even then you can update the registry to include them without re-installing.)
Another tip: Ever have a program with NO UNINSTALL OPTION AND CAN'T FIND IT IN ADD/REMOVE?
Go to HKEY LOCAL MACHINE/SOFTWARE/MOCROSOFT/WINDOWS/CURRENT SETTING,
find the program folder's uninstall string and RUN it. Bingo! It's gone.

That can be a good idea because you can burn an image of that entire disk to a DVD and restore the disk in case of a crash, which will happen sooner or later.

This is a very good idea. With my pc I have two 40 Gb hard drives installed on my pc.
Its very useful to have two hard drives in your pc instead of one. I personally make backups of my 'main' drive using Norton Ghost unto my backup drive every few weeks.
If any problem arises with your pc, all you do is reinstall from your backup drive to the main drive. Using this technique, I've been back up and running as good as new within 20 minutes.

1. Get Windows Washer AND Spyhuner-If you don't have it I'll send it to you.
These two programs -believe me- are essential to havein every system. Otherwise, have the latest version of NAV (Norton Anti Virus) and ZoneAlarm Pro. The latter catches spyware automatically and gets rid of it. Careful though, it will also halt certain P2Ps.
2. Did you know-
If you keyboard gets to dusty and dirty, all you have to do is WASH IT?
That's right. Mild soad, a stiff brush, and tepid water. Scrub it ,rinse and dry for about two days.
3. I posted a thread about uninstalling unistallable programs
Go to the registry > HKEY LOCAL MACHINE>SOFTWARE>MOSCROSOFT> WINDOWS>CURRENT VERSION and look for the uninstalstring in the right pane. Copy and paste this into the RUN command textbox and your go to go.
4. Wanna learn a new operating system without having to buld an entire computer and prepare a drive for it?
Get virtual PC and have at least 128MB of RAM for every OS you can install LINUX, Windows, just about anything right on top of your current OS while its running on a virtual drive and do just about anything you want. If it crashes you are not affect one bit!
5. If you really want to get serious about security, check out CENTURION GUARD. This little gadget literally locks the system state. No virus, spyware or anything can penetrate it. Anything installed is instantly deleted on the next boot.
6. DNS server?
Try x.x.x.3
7. If you have WinXP running on a FAT file system run the cmd prompt and type
convert x: [where x is the volume or drive letter] FS:NTFS
Unfortunately thereis no easy way of going back. : (
8. Later for Winzip!
Use WinRAR. It's free, handles all archive types, and even opens most ISO volumes.

Believe it or disbelieve it. Ad-aware SE Professional (Not the free version) is the most perfect anti-spyware/adware tool in the market based on personal experience.

| True Obal85, BUT it will also read certain programs as spyware. Like certain file-sharing programs, and mark them for deletion. You have to be very careful about spyware removers because they might delete program dependant files. Check your new software against it and configure it to leave its files alone.

If you like the look of Windows 98, but you have Win.XP or another Operating System on your computer, you can still recreate the Win98 background and screensaver on your computer, using this method.
For example, I loved the 'Flying Windows' screensaver and the 'Clouds' background.
To get it on Win.XP, dig out a Win98 CD or Win98 Recovery CD and load it up.
I found it easier to perform a 'search' for the 'clouds' background.
Do that by going to 'Start', 'Search' then 'All Files or Folders'. In the search box, click on 'Pictures, Music or Video'. Click the box next to 'Pictures and Photos'. Scroll down and type 'Clouds' in 'All or part of the file name'. Scroll down again and click on 'Use advanced search options'. Under 'Look in', click on the arrow pointing down beside it. On the sub-menu, find your CD-RW/R drive and click on that. Then click the 'Search' button.
Once your picture has been found, right click on it, and locate 'Set as Background' on the menu that appears. Right click it.
For the screensaver, in 'Search', I found it by typing *.scr*. This indicates a 'wild' search, (it just means that every screensaver will be located). However, if you see your screensaver before 'Search' has finished, halt it by clicking 'Stop'.
Right click on the screensaver and on the menu, click 'Send To', then 'My Documents'. From there you can install the screensaver and it will appear under the 'Screensaver' tab in the desktop 'Properties'.
