A comment from Juanita
CONGRATULATIONS on 700 Issues of InfoAve Premium! I think I have been with you almost from the beginning, mainly for the wallpaper. I used to use Netscape at that time. How things have changed in those years, but you have both been my "go-to" people for computer questions. Thank you for all you do for us. Juanita

A comment from Virginia
This donation was because of Darcy's "above and beyond" help in cleaning out my computer after getting one of those Scams pretending to be Microsoft. She certainly relieved my fears and helped lower my blood pressure. My doctor had to actually increase my dosage because of this scare. They told me I had a Trojan!

A comment from Vera
I hope you publish this because I really want to tell everyone about my experience with your Cloudeight Direct care service. Like many others, I've been reading all the testimonials in the newsletters but thought to myself - there's no way they can fix my computer - it was barely running. I want to tell everyone that they not only got my computer fixed they gave me some pointers to prevent my computer from getting all messed up in the future.  They don't charge enough for that they do. But let their low prices fool you - this is the best computer care service anyway - and they treated me like an old friend! I just bought another computer care key... just in case. But what can I say? Right now my computer runs as good as new and I'm not exaggerating a bit!

A comment from Julie
I just finished a Cloudeight session with TC. I was so nervous when we first started, but TC had me laughing and relaxed in less than 5 minutes. Then he got to work. He buzzed around my computer while I watched. It was amazing! My computer is clean and runs really nice now. Thanks TC, you were fantastic.

Thanks so much to Juanita, Virginia, Vera, Julie and everyone who wrote to us last week. And thanks all those who used our Cloudeight Direct Computer Care services . TC & EB

Julia wants her Favorites in alphabetical order
I like to see my Favorites folders without all the sub folders. Therefore my question is, is there any way or a program like your old “Zap it” that will auto put my favorites in alphabetical order and not open the sub folders. Sorry if I'm asking a question you have already covered, if so I missed it. Thank you for your time and efforts you spend to help us.

Our answer
Hi Julia. Thank you! There's a really easy way to organize your Favorites without opening Internet Explorer. Do this: Press and hold down the Windows Key and tap the R key. In the Run box, type "Favorites" (without the quotes). Press Enter. Your favorites folder will open. To organize your Favorites alphabetically, just click on "Name". Clicking Name will organize your Favorites from A to Z.

Below, Favorites are not in alphabetical order...so just click on the word "Name" to organize them:

Cloudeight InfoAve Computer Tips & Ticks

And all your Favorites are now in alphabetical order.

Cloudeight InfoAve Computer Tips & Ticks

If you click on "Name" again it will reverse the order. However you Favorites appear here is exactly how they'll appear in Internet Explorer.

And - you can organize any folder this way - not only by name, but by date modified, file type, or file size.

Sue wants to know if we still recommend changing passwords every 3 to 6 months

Thank you so much for the information I do visit a few of the sites listed. So did change my password for those sites. You suggested to change passwords every 3 to 6 months So should I still so that even though I use LastPass word manager? Thank you Sue

Our answer
Hi Sue. Thanks for your nice comments. You should change passwords every 3 to 6 months only if they're password for sites where you store sensitive information - banks, Social Security, Taxes, Online Shopping sites, Email and other sites which may store sensitive and confidential personal information.

As for other sites, that don't store sensitive personal information - like for instance a site where you go to make graphics, or play games, or learn a new language, you should be fine without password changes.

LastPass makes it easy to change your passwords. With a password generator, you can instantly generate new passwords and LastPass will change and store those passwords for any sites you choose.

I hope this helps you, Sue.

Keith has keyboard problems
My keyboard is making some weird mistakes when I type. For instance when I type a question mark I get a large E with a dash over top of it. When I type an apostrophe I get a little e with a dash over top. I get weird letters when I try using the forward slash. Is there a way to fix this. I know you guys can figure out anything. Thanks for all the great tips, now I need a fix. Thanks again, Keith.

Our answer
HI Keith. The little accented e, most likely means you have changed your keyboard settings to Canadian multilingual. So, if you type a slash, you will get this: é

There are some complicated ways to fix this, but first try the easy way... this assumes you want a U.S. Keyboard. Type Keyboard in search, and choose Edit Language and keyboard options. Make sure US is the one that is selected.

***Keith wrote back: "Thank you so much. I struggled to find out the problem I was having with my keyboard and it was as simple as Pressing the Windows Key and the Space bar and it shifts from the English U.S. keyboard to the English Canada Multilingual Keyboard. So again I thank you. Keith H."

Pearl does not want to have to type a password to log in to Windows 10
I have downloaded several things to stop the password needed to log onto my computer. None work. I am the only user. Is there a way to completely do away with the password?

Our answer
Hi Pearl. If you're using a Microsoft account you will have to use a password, or one of the other log-in options. We suggest using a 4-Digit PIN. A 4-Digit PIN is easy to remember and takes only a second or two to type. To set a 4-Digit PIN log in for your PC see our article here.

You can eliminate the password requirement (NOT RECOMMENDED) if you're using a local (non Microsoft account), this way:

1. Hold down the Windows Key, tap the R key. In the Run box type:

NETPLWIZ

Then press Enter.

Cloudeight InfoAve Computer Tips & Ticks

Uncheck the box next to "Users must enter a Username and a password to use this computer".

Click Apply/OK. Then restart your computer.

Remember this only works with a local account - it does not work if you log in with a Microsoft account. And remember: We strongly recommend you use a password or a PIN even if you are the only user of your computer.

Libby wants to know the best way to store a laptop
When a laptop is not going to be used for up to 6 months, what is the best way to store the battery? I do not want to leave the computer plugged in all this time. I keep all my regular and rechargeable AA, AAA, C and D batteries in the refrigerator. Is this an option with a laptop battery? Should it be fully charged or fully discharged? Or should it be left in the laptop and unplugged? Thanks in advance for your advice.

Our answer
Hi Libby . There are no hard and fast rules for this. However, we'd recommend that you remove the battery with an (approximately) 60%charge and store it that way. You don't need to put it in the refrigerator.

Darcy has stored older laptops for much longer periods of time with batteries left installed for long periods of time. When she turned them on, they booted up and all was working well.

However, we'll play it safe and recommend you remove the battery with the battery at midcharge (50-60%).

Susan's desktop icons came up missing
I was finding the icons and text too small to read so I went to Display Setting and changed the size to 150%. I decided I didn't like it and went back to 125%. When I did that, half my desktop Icons disappeared. I tried rebooting but that didn't help. Any suggestions? Thanks so much. Susan

Our answer
HI Susan. What you did would have no bearing on icons, assuming you have them sized so they are not filling the entire monitor screen.

Try this (it resets your desktop icons): Right click on a blank area of your desktop and choose View, select Medium Icons. Do this again and click "View" --> "Hide desktop icons". Now do it again only this time click "View" --> "Show desktop icons". Then click "View" ---> "Align to grid".

***Susan wrote back: "I was able to do something akin to what you suggest and got all my icons back on my Desktop. Thank you very much...Susan"

Pin Any User Folder to Your Taskbar
Windows 10

Wouldn't it be nice if you could have one or more of the User folders you use most often, let's say Pictures, for example, on your taskbar so all you had to do was click it to open your Pictures folder?

You can do that, but In Windows 10, in order to pin a User folder (like Documents, Music, Pictures, etc.) to your taskbar, you first need to create a desktop shortcut.

That's easy to do: Right-click on your desktop, click "New" --> "Shortcut". In the box under "Type the location of the item" type in one of the following (remember to change "Your User Name" to whatever your Windows user name is. Also, make sure you leave a space after "explorer")

For a shortcut to Documents enter

explorer C:\Users\Your User Name\Documents

For a shortcut to Pictures

explorer C:\Users\Your User Name\Pictures

For a shortcut to Music

explorer C:\Users\Your User Name\Music

For a shortcut to Contacts

explorer C:\Users\Your User Name\Contacts

Give your shortcut the appropriate name. Then, right-click on the desktop shortcut you just made and choose "Pin to Taskbar"

Here's the tip in pictures:

1. Right-click on your desktop and choose "New--->Shortcut"

Cloudeight InfoAve Computer Tips & Ticks
In the box type or copy and paste one of the file paths above. Make sure you change "Your user name" to your Windows user name.

Updated: How to Turn Off Cortana in Windows 10 Anniversary Edition
Windows 10 Anniversary Edition (Version 1607)

Ever since Microsoft introduced Windows 10 Anniversary Edition last August, none of the old “turn off Cortana” tricks work. Microsoft made it difficult for users of Windows 10 Anniversary Edition Home version to turn off Cortana and succeeded in discouraging all but the most dogged from turning her off.

Now, don’t get us wrong, we’re not sure what advantage there is in turning off Cortana, but if she bugs you or if you think she’s sending info back to uncle Bill (we don’t think so), we’re going to show you two ways to turn off Cortana in Windows 10 Anniversary Edition.

This method works only if you are signed into Windows with a Microsoft account.

Open Cortana.

Click on the Notebook icon (see below):

CLOUDEIGHT INFOAVE COMPUTER TIPS & TRICKS

When Notebook opens, click on "About Me":

In the "About me" dialog - click on your Microsoft account email address (see below):

Select your User account (see below):

 


Click on "Sign out". Any searches you conduct on your PC after you sign out will be done by Windows search and not Cortana. If you want to start using Cortana again, follow the steps above and sign in.

If you're using a non-Microsoft account this method will not work. If you are using a local account and the Home edition of Windows 10 Anniversary Edition (version 1607), you'll need to edit the registry in order to shut down Cortana. We'll be posting those instructions on the Web soon, for advanced users. Editing the registry, if you're not sure what you're doing, can cause serious damage to Windows.

Make Text Larger in Windows 10 the Right Way
Windows 10

Many Windows 10 users have discovered how easy it is to change display settings.  You can use the slider in Settings –>System–> Display to make the text and everything else on your screen larger…

Cloudeight InfoAve Tips & Tricks

However doing so may have unintended consequences. For instance, parts of program windows and dialogs may be cut off – so you can barely see (or not be able to see) the “Apply” “Cancel” “OK” or other important window controls or buttons. When you use that slider, you scale everything on the screen larger or smaller. If you’re using a custom theme or icons, you may be in for other unpleasant surprises. Windows warns you in Control Panel Display dialog: “… you can set a custom scaling level (not recommended). Setting custom levels can lead to unexpected behavior on some displays.”

So, if everything on your screen seems about right to you, but the text is too small,  don’t make everything on the screen larger; try making the text larger the right way.

Here's how you do that.

Right-click the Windows 10 Start button and choose “Control Panel”. In Control Panel, click on “Display”.

In Control Panel —> Display, you’ll see “Change only the text size”.

Cloudeight InfoAve Tips & Tricks

Cloudeight InfoAve

Select the item you want to for which you want change the size of the text (Title bars, Menus, Message boxes, Palette titles, Icons, Tooltips ) and use the drop-down arrow to change the font size for that item. If  you want to change all the listed items, you’ll need to do them one at a time.

Cloudeight InfoAve Tips & Tricks

Cloudeight InfoAve Tips & Tricks



You can enlarge the text up to 24 pt. font, and even make it bold by ticking box next to “Bold”. But you may not be happy. If you go crazy and choose very large, bold fonts you may not like what  you see. So, we recommend that you to change the text size a little at time until you get exactly the size that works best for you.

Control Notification Icons In Windows 10
Windows 10 Anniversary Edition (Version 1607)

One thing that makes Windows 10 stand out from other versions of Windows is that it offers a lot more customization features. Windows 10 makes it much easier to control the Notification icons that appear in the area of the taskbar nearest the system clock. Now we’re going show you just how easy it is.

— Right-click your taskbar and click on “Settings”

Cloudeight InfoAVe

— In Taskbar Settings scroll down until you see this:

Cloudeight InfoAVe

Click "Select which icons appear on the taskbar" (this means the icons that will appear the notification area of the taskbar - just to the left of the clock).

We recommend you leave "Always show all icons in the notification area" Off - and that's the default setting.

Cloudeight InfoAVe

Use the On/Off switches to turn on the icons you want to show in the Notification area (by the clock) and turn off the icons you don't want to show there.

If you want something to always show in the portion of the taskbar to the very left of the clock slide the on/off switch to On.

If you have more than a few icons in the notification area, you may find some of them are hidden. 

Cloudeight InfoAVe

No problem! To see the icons that you can't see on the task bare, just click the little up arrow (circled in red above). This displays hidden icons in the Notification area - the one's that won't fit on the visible taskbar.

Keep in mind also, that some programs which are currently in use show up in the notification area. As you can see from the screenshots above, I have FastStone Capture t to not display in the notification area, but it shows there anyway since I was using it to take the screenshots for this article.

Now you know how to make icons show in the Notification area, and how to hide icons in the Notification area of the taskbar. Go forth and customize your taskbar icons to suit you – not the suits at Microsoft.

 Innocence Lost: A Brief History of the Internet

Most of us think back on the past as a simpler, less complicated time. When we let our thoughts drift back to our childhoods – no matter how old we are – most of us imagine a more beautiful world, a more peaceful time in our lives. I do not know if this is really so, but it seems to me that most of us look upon the past that way. Maybe the song “The Way We Were” sums it up well:

“But it’s the laughter
We will remember,
Whenever we remember,
The way were were…”


Maybe some sort of filter in our heads that brandishes the painful moments, the less desirable moments, the bad and sad moments, the embarrassing moments and when filtered we are left believing the past is preferable to the present. And, I think that’s a good thing, really. We have enough problems with today without having the ones from our pasts intermixing with the ones from now and making things worse. No thanks. Today’s troubles are sufficient for today. So it’s the laughter, we remember, when we remember the way we were and that’s a good thing.

So it seems to me that the Internet, which is a product of human endeavor, is a reflection of all that is good and all that is bad in us. So I am not sure when I look back on the Internet twenty years ago I’m seeing the Internet as filtered through that wonderful filter of my mind or whether my memories of that era are accurate. I think it’s a bit of both.

When I first set eyes on the very first Web site I ever saw (Yahoo) I really didn’t know what I was looking at. There was something called a “search engine” but I didn’t know what a search engine was. A friend of mine at the time, who had been around the Internet a year before me, tried to explain it, but like a lot of things, you have to actually have to have a need to find something before a “search engine” makes sense. I mean – why call it an engine? When my friend tried to explain them to me, I didn’t understand why I would need one; this is kind of the same reason why I didn’t understand calculus – why do I need it?

As it turns out, I eventually needed to find something and that’s when the light bulb went off in my mind. After that, my goal was to find the best search engine. I can remember writing to EB about new search engines I found and I’m sure she laughed when each was supposedly better than the one I had discovered the day before...

How's Your Hard drive?

That's a great question, and one that's not always easy to answer. To be fair, hard drive manufacturers have vastly improved hard drive reliability over the years both with standard drives and solid state drives (SSDs), Most hard drives these days are S.M.A.R.T. That does not mean the same thing as it does with smartphones and smart TVs. In the world of hard drives it means, according to Wikipedia, S.M.A.R.T. means:

"(Self-Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Technology; often written as SMART) is a monitoring system included in computer hard disk drives (HDDs) and solid-state drives (SSDs) that detects and reports on various indicators of drive reliability, with the intent of enabling the anticipation of hardware failures."

That probably doesn't mean a great deal to you because all you want to know is... Is my hard drive going bad? Right? So, what you need is a little program that can gobble up all those things that S.M.A.R.T. drives report to Windows, and answer the one burning question:

Is my hard drive going bad?

Do you feel lucky? Well, do ya? You don't need no stinkin' luck, I tells ya, if you have this slick little program we discovered this week, by digging deep into the ever increasing pile of freeware out there. To be honest, most of the new stuff is riddled with malware or hijackers or some other type of hooliganism--  or it's not very good. That does not mean to say that all new freeware is lousy, because it's certainly not. But the hours you have to spend digging through the heap of new freeware, often is not worth the effort. Not like the good old days when we used to have to make a choice between four or five good freeware programs and the hard part was picking the best of the best to feature in our newsletter.

Am I boring you yet? OK. I'm done.

The author of this program doesn't have a lot to say and if we sent you to his/her sites, you'd have a hard time finding the right download link. Not because he plays Whack-A-Mole with download links, but because he has a disease called developeritis whereby he things we're all programmers and we can make sense out of all the version numbers and so forth. So we're going to send you to a site we have come to trust for download lately, called SnapFiles. The guy who runs the site has been around as long as we have-- nearly 2 decades.

So since we don't have the developer's rambling spiel to give you, we're just going to show you a few screen shots, make a few brief comments (REALLY!) and give you the download link... Deal?

Cloudeight InfoAve Computer Tips & Ticks

Cloudeight InfoAve Computer Tips & Ticks

Cloudeight InfoAve Computer Tips & Ticks

The best part of this program is that you can get a lot of information from just a quick glance. If you want to dig down deep, you can do that too. 

OK. If you don't know much about computers, you're going to love this program because it has a big button that tells you if your hard drive is good or bad. That's all you want to know if you don't know about the inner workings of hard drives, or the sleek, gleaming, SSD. All you want to know is: Are my hard drive(s) OK?

And, yes, you over there. The one with the technical manuals who subscribes to 117 tech newsletters and buys every PC magazine published. This program will make you drool with all kinds of arcane information, that only someone who reads reams of technical manuals could appreciate.

And all you computer geeks: This program is a great learning tool. It spews forth tons of info. And if you don't know what it all means, there's your old trusty friend named Google who can help you find out and help you learn.

So, no matter what kind of computer you are from nascent to geek, this program, called CrystalDiskInfo has a lot to love. And so, after many words of yammering, I herewith give you the link to CrystalDiskInfo at Snapfiles. Where you can read his short, concise review, and click the easy to find download link.

May your all your drives be good.

The Elusive "Back Button" in Your Browser
All versions of Windows, Most Popular Browsers

In most browsers you will find a "back and forward" button. Back returns you to the page previously viewed, and forward goes to a page you viewed (after you have used the back button). Oftentimes the back button does not work; there are a few reasons to consider:

Your back button won't work until you have browsed a couple of web pages in the same browser window.

Many links open in a new window so that the page you were just on is still open or open in a tab. In this case, you cannot go back; check your open tabs and you will probably see the page you were on is still open in a tab.

Some Web pages have coding to disable the use of the back button. Not fair, but they do it to keep you on their site. Clicking back two or three times in quick succession will often allow you to override the "no back" coding. So be sure to try it, if you seem to be stuck.

If you really want to go back to a page, check your History; all the pages you have surfed should show up there. To check your history quickly, press the Ctrl + H keys.
