Looking into Windows
Without breaking any laws as peeping toms!
These are tutorials I've generated about some of the basics and understanding your PC. Most were generated on Windows ME which I like to call "Moron Edition" -- a more 'user friendly' version of Windows 98. It had a few things which made made a more stable, including the System Restore feature which made getting back to a useable state in an emergency easy for the novice. Unfortunately, it wasn't a true Back Up system, but a stop gap that newbies misunderstood.
- Start Menu
- Desktop Delights
- Folder Fun
- Taskbar Tricks
- View Variations
- Window Sizes
- Drag n Drop
- Shortcuts Simplified
- Favorites Fundamentals
- Outlook Express
These are some of the things that stumped me and others have asked about -- more will follow and these will be reworked to run better. There will be many more made using Windows XP which I teasingly call "eXtra Persnickety" -- just to annoy my friend, Coral.
