On Registry Mechanic & Stop Computer Crashes!
We've received more unsolicited reader testimonials for
Registry Mechanic than we have for any other Cloudeight-recommended
and endorsed program. Each week we receive dozens of reader
comments about the big difference in computer performance
Registry Mechanic has made. These unsolicited comments come
from readers just like you who relate their own experiences
with Registry Mechanic to us. It's easy to see why so many
people have written - Registry Mechanic makes computers
run better and can save you a lot of money helping you avoid
expensive repair bills!
Here
are a just two of the many comments we received this week
about Registry Mechanic.
 A
Comment From Judith
I kept reading positive comments about
Registry Mechanic in your InfoAve Premium Newsletter
so I finally bought it for my year old laptop. That was
about six weeks ago, I've had no problems with it and last
week I bought another subscription of it for my 3 year old
PC. It found/repaired 908 problems. Registry Mechanic is
one tool I would recommend for sure. I use IE 7. Judith
- happy computer user.
A Comment From Jim R.
"...before I knew about
Registry Mechanic, I downloaded a different registry
cleaner. In the scan it found almost 1000 errors. When I
got Registry Mechanic, it found 600 errors. I have often
wondered about the difference. Then I got your wonderful
3rd e-book. You speak often of registry cleaners that cause
problems. I believe that I was saved from a problem by going
with
Registry Mechanic. You two are the greatest! Take Care,
Jim R..."
Registry Mechanic
uses a high-performance detection algorithm to quickly identify
missing and invalid references in your Windows registry.
These problems can occur for many reasons including being
left-behind after the un-installation or incorrect removal
of software, by missing or corrupt hardware drivers, or
orphaned startup programs.

This Week's
Rant
No Telling With Hotels.Com
There's no telling if you book a room with Hotels.com whether
or not the room you booked and paid for through Hotels.com
will actually be available when you arrive.
There's no telling if the room rate you were quoted is actually
the best rate for that room when you actually check in.
There's no telling how many rooms Hotels.com may have overbooked
at the hotel where you reserved a room. Actually there's
no telling what's going to happen when you book with Hotels.com.
What we know for sure is this:

This Week's
Top Questions and Answers
Carly wants to know what's
up with all the "Share" buttons on our site
What are these "Share" buttons I'm noticing on some
of your page? Are they safe? Thanks, Carly.
Our answer
Great question and a wise thing to ask Carly.
We've gotten
this question a few times recently. You may have noticed
we are starting to add these buttons to more and more pages.
These buttons help us grow and help you tell your friends
about us in an non-invasive way. Some pages offer you the
chance to "Email" the link of the page to a friend. If this
option is available on the page you're reading and you choose
the "Email" option, the email will come from your address
and will only be sent to the person's address you typed
in. We don't get a copy, we don't save a copy, we don't
store a copy - in fact, we never see it. The only thing
we see is how many people used the button. We don't know
who used it or who the page was shared with. Whatever you
type in your email to a friend is completely private and
so are the email addresses.
If you choose to add to your MySpace, Facebook,
or other community site, we don't store any private data,
all we know is that someone used the button to add one of
our pages to their community site account.
You'll also notice options to "Digg" an article
or one of our Web pages or share it in other ways. Whichever
way you choose to share our pages and our site with your
friends and family members, we want you to know it is completely
private.
The important thing is that you use the buttons
when you see them, if you think the content of that page,
or our site, would be useful, entertaining, or educational.
These buttons are very important to us because
they help us grow. As the Web grows it's important that
we grow along with it. We don't have a lot of money so we
cannot afford to buy ads promoting our site. Word of mouth
though, is still, by far, the best form of advertising.
So, please, whenever you see a "Share" button,
share our site, articles, essays, rants, and pages with
others. You'll be helping us grow and keep up with sites
who have millions of dollars to buy advertising. If you
use these "Share" buttons, we'll have the best advertising
campaign that money can't buy - and that's you and your
friends telling other friends about us.

Jerry
wants to know if there's a way to remove the text under
program icons
I often wondered if there was a way to remove the
text from under icons on my desktop. For instance, I
know what the icon for Outlook Express looks like. I
don't really need the text to show underneath that says
"Outlook Express" (I hope you know what I mean!). I
know what all the icons on my desktop stand for so I
don't need the text under them. If anyone knows how
to remove it, you will. I'm using Windows XP Home. Thanks
for the great newsletters - Jerry.

This Week's
Top Tips and Tricks
Email Links Don't Open
Right In Internet Explorer 7
Windows XP and Windows Vista with Internet Explorer
7 installed
Written for Outlook Express users but should work for Outlook
users too.
Every week we
get a few readers who are perplexed because when they click
a link in email (or even on the Web) nothing seems to happen.
For some unknown reason, the most recent tab is not highlighted
or opened by default. So, if you have IE7 open to any page
and you then read an email and click any link in it,
it will open in a new tab. However, logically, one would
assume that the new tab would be the open tab or it would
at least be highlighted. But, it is not.

It's Tax Time
- Phishing time for crooks
All computer users
In the U.S.A. it's tax time. It's
our favorite time of year, when
all citizens get a chance to tithe
to Uncle Sam. This year, Uncle Sam
is going to borrow money from China
and give most of us the money in
the form of a rebate check hoping
we'll all go out and buy big screen
TVs made in China, cars made in
Japan, or computers made in Mexico.
This is somehow supposed to "stimulate"
the economy and make us all feel
good about Uncle Sam. Of course,
anytime you borrow money you have
to pay it back. Since without us
(the citizens) Uncle Sam has no
money, guess who's eventually going
to have to pay back the money that
Uncle Sam borrowed to give us all
a gift? That's right - you and me.
Uncle Sam gives us a gift and eventually
we have to pay for it. Can you imagine
doing that to your family at Christmas?
Don't be scammed,
some of these phishing emails and
telephone scams are very convincing
- don't be tricked - be smart.

here!
