Move Off Screen Window in Windows 7
Back in Windows XP, I found it easy to recover a window that the Title Bar was off the screen. When this occurred in Windows 7, I was surprised to find the same trick didn't work (right-click the icon in the Task bar, select Move, and use the arrow keys to grab and move the window).In Windows 7, it's not difficult, just different.
The Windows key + arrow key offers other interesting options even with fully visible windows. Try Windows key + right or left arrow to get the window to take 1/2 of the screen. Use Windows key + up or down arrow to maximize or minimize, respectively, the window.
- Select the program in the Task Bar.
- Hold the Windows key and press an arrow key.
- Repeat the arrow key movement as necessary.
I have not had this problem yet. But it is good to know in advance, so I don't go crazy.
This guide helps you learn how to keep your laptop running when you close the lid in Windows 7.
This is useful, if like me you tend to move around with your laptop. My laptop runs Vista, but it is a similar adjustment to the Power Options.
If you’ve just downloaded a file to your computer how do you know if it’s safe to run it? These days many malicious files are specifically designed to seem safe in order to trick you into running them. As soon as you do they go about their nefarious purpose and may infect your computer, steal your credit card information and passwords, or other tasks which I can promise you won’t enjoy. So how can you tell the difference between these files and the legitimate ones?
Very good information from one of my favorite freeware source sites.
A very good explanation of what Posterous is all about, as well as some great how to use it information.
When you insert a graphic, it usually looks like this. You can't get the text on either side of it.
What do you do if you want it to look like this, though?
Or what do you do if you want to have the graphic there on the left, then you want to start typing over there on the right, to the right of the graphic?Just follow these steps. Put your text in first, then insert the graphic. (Insert > Graphic > From File, or paste something from the Internet, or choose Tools > Gallery to drag in a graphic.)
Now.
Right-click on the graphic and choose Wrap > Page Wrap.
Now the text can wrap around it.
It doesn't look quite right, though. The words come right up to the edge of the picture. So give it some space. Right-click on the graphic and choose Picture. Click on the Wrap tab and give the picture a little space on all four sides.
Now there's more space.
Also, you might want to drag it to a different point in the document, so go ahead and do that. The wrapping will continue to work.
Finally, you might want to resize the graphic. Click on it so the green handles on the sides and corners show, then move your mouse over a corner handle and drag in to shrink it or out to enlarge it.
Hold down the Shift key while you do this, to make sure that you keep the picture proportionate and don't make it to squat or skinny.

I was at the Windows XP / Vista SIG last evening.
The question of how to remove formatting when pasting into Word 2007 was asked.
I used ScreenToaster at work, during lunch, to make this. I hope it helps.
I had no access to a microphone at work.
I was checking for some information today, regarding the Thunderbird email client, and ran across the following site: FreeEmailTutorials.com.
I get frequent questions from members of the computer clubs I am with, as well as from family members and friends, regarding various email clients. I think this site will be very helpful.
In addition to tutorials for specific email clients, such as Outlook 2003, Thunderbird, Windows Live Mail, etc., there is a General Email Tutorials section. This section has tutorials to help with email related issues: "... from troubleshooting and error codes to efficient spam fighting and email management."
Hopefully, this site will be helpful for you too. Check it out and let me know what you think.
Just some quick information:
Last night I was at a dinner for Boca Raton Computer Society, Inc. (BRCS) and a couple of us started talking about recording internet radio broadcasts from Argentina, also during the discussion the idea of podcasts of the same shows, as well as media players, came up. Below is what I could find with some real quick searches on Google and Ask.com, for some free and or inexpensive solutions:
Recording internet radio links: (found at ask.com by searching for "how do i record internet radio broadcasts?"

Podcasts from Argentina:
I do not speak the language so I do not know how much this link to a search on ask.com will do, but give it a try:

Free Media Players:

I just made up a quick how to screencast, using Screentoaster, on how to change your BRCS Webmail password.
BRCS recently had to change hosts, and the yourname@brcs.org emails did not transfer over. The password for all of those address has been changed to brcsmail, so you must log in and change your password to gain access to any emails that have come in since the change over.
The URL for the video is BRCS Webmail Password Reset
