George asks about Windows Media Player in Windows 10
When I tried to watch a DVD on my newer Windows 10 PC today I could not play it. I used to use Window Media Player on Windows 7. Isn't Windows Media Player in Windows 10? How do I play movies on Windows 10. Do I have to change a settings or something? I did a search and it said that Windows 10 doesn't come with Windows Media Player.  What do I have to do or download to play movies on my Windows 10 computer? I trust your advice and recommendations. What do you suggest I do?

Our answer
Hi George. Thank you. Windows Media Player is included in Windows 10. You can use it to play most audio file types. But one thing you can no longer do with it is watch DVD Movies.

Luckily, there several excellent free media players you can install on Windows 10 that will play you DVD movies (and also music). The media player we use and recommend is VLC (Video LAN) media player. It's free and it works seamlessly with Windows 10. It will play your DVD movies, and virtually all other types of video and audio files.

You can download VLC media player from this link. It's free and free from malware and tricks.

One you download and install VLC Media Player, you should set it as your default video player Windows 10 by going to Settings > Apps > Default apps (or Settings --> System --> Default apps if you're using an older version of Windows 10) and click on Video Player and select VLC from the list.



Once you have VLC set as your default Video Player, you will be able to watch your DVD movies. We also use VLC as our default music player, but if you want to continue to use Windows Media Player to play your music files that's your choice.

We are aware of anyone using Outlook Express without XP, nor do we have an XP computer around, we have no idea on exporting from Outlook Express.



Larry knows about strong passwords - but what about usernames?
Hi I know I need a very strong password but do I also need a strong username too?

Our answer
Hi Larry. The password is the key to everything. It does not matter if your username is 123 if your password is #c[u84$+^3n!Hq . It work take billions of years to crack that password according to https://howsecureismypassword.net/ . Many sites, like Google for instance, use your email address for a username.

Our advice is to concentrate your efforts on using strong passwords, and never reuse them on sites that deal with sensitive personal information or money (credit cards, banks, credit scores, stock brokers, etc.)

And, of course, the best way to generate, save, and use strong passwords is by using a good password manager like LastPass.

Add Your Favorite Sites to Your Desktop or Taskbar
Windows 7, Windows 8.1, Windows 10 (any version) with Chrome and/or Microsoft Edge installed

Note: If you’re using Firefox, IE, Opera or other browsers,  you can drag the URL from the Address bar on any browser to your desktop.

If you use Chrome and you’d like to put a shortcut on your desktop or taskbar to Facebook, Gmail, Outlook.com, Twitter, Cloudeight InfoAve 🙂 or any of your favorite sites, it’s super easy to do.

In Chrome, visit the site you want to create a shortcut to. Click on the settings icon (3 vertical dots) at the top right corner of Chrome.  Click “More tools” then click “Add to desktop”. That’s it!

For this tip, I’ve added three of the sites I visit most often: Outlook.com, Gmail and Cloudeight InfoAve…

And there they are. Now if I want any of those on my taskbar, all I have to do is right-click on one and choose “Add to taskbar”. See?

I’ve added Cloudeight InfoAve Tips & Tricks web site and the Gmail account I used most to my taskbar. It’s quick and easy. Try it!

If you’re using Edge on Windows 10 Version 1709 or newer (Fall Creators Update) you can do this:

Go to a web page you want to pin to your Start menu or taskbar. Then click on the settings icon (3 horizontal dots) and click on “Pin this page to the taskbar” or  “Pin this page to Start”.

System Restore, System Reset, Fresh Start and Factory Reset On Windows 10
Windows 10 Creators Update, Fall Creators Update and newer

We recently helped someone who had to reinstall all her programs because she ran a Windows 10 System Reset instead of a System Restore. And right then, we realized how confusing it can be at times, especially if you’re upset, frustrated or in a hurry. So, we’re going to clarify each and give you some suggestions as to when you should run each, plus we’ll include links to our online articles showing you exactly how to access and run each of these Windows features.

First, Fresh start is available only on Windows 10 Creators Update, Fall Creators Update and newer versions of Windows 10.

[NOTE: None of these Windows features are backup programs. Nothing on this post should be construed as alternatives to keeping good backups. At the very least you should have an external hard drive and Windows File History turned on.  It’s available with all versions of Windows 10. We offer a very inexpensive backup service. We'll set up a file & folder + image backup on any Windows 7, Windows 8.1 or Windows 10 computer - and give you a lifetime license for Ashampoo Backup Pro 11. See this page for more information about our backup service. ]

System Restore

Think of System Restore as a time machine [not a backup program]. Let’s say this morning you installed Uncle Bill’s Desktop Whirly Gig and it really messed up your computer. System Restore is your best FIRST option.

System Restore lets you go back in time, to a time before you installed Uncle Bill’s crummy software, and puts your computer back to the state it was in before your computer got all messed up. System Restore keeps all of your programs and settings up to the date/time of the Restore Point you choose. Additionally, it keeps all of your personal files and folders. System Restore is good first option when something goes wrong because it makes the least changes to your computer. To learn how to use System Restore see this Cloudeight article..

System Reset

System Reset is a powerful tool that comes with every version of Windows 10. System Reset gives you two options:

1. Reset your computer and keep all your personal files.

2. Reset your computer and remove everything.

When you do a System Reset and choose the option to keep your personal files, Windows saves all of your personal files (documents, pictures, videos, music, etc.) and then removes all your programs and settings. Windows generates a list of programs that it removes. After Windows has saved all of your personal files and removed all of your programs, it reinstalls Windows. Any programs you installed are removed, but any apps that came with Windows and  manufacturer’s bloatware will be reinstalled. So, after the Reset is done, all your personal files will be right where they were before you did the reset. But you’ll need to reinstall any programs you like because all you’ll have after a Reset are Windows apps like Edge, Mail app, etc. and any manufacturer’s software that came with your computer. The first program you should re-install after a system Reset is your security software.

When you do a System Reset and choose not to save your personal files and folders, Windows will remove everything, reinstall Windows with Windows apps and any manufacturer’s software.

A System Reset is the best option when your computer has so many serious unrelated problems that using your computer becomes annoying or difficult. To learn how to use System Reset, see our article on using System Reset here.

Fresh start

Fresh start is a new feature of Windows 10 that was introduced with Windows 10 Creators Update. Fresh start is very similar to System Reset with one big difference. When you run a Windows 10 Fresh start, it saves your personal files and folders, and some of your Windows settings. It uninstalls all of your programs. Then Fresh start clean installs Windows, which mean none of the manufacturers bloatware is installed. You get a fresh, clean copy of Windows, and all your personal files are restored. Fresh start is a good choice if you are having many substantial and serious problems with your PC.  You can get more information about Fresh start by visiting this page.

Factory Reset

Many computer manufacturers included a recovery partition on the hard drive that allows you to restore your computer to the same condition it was in the day you bought it. Each computer manufacturer has its own procedure for performing a factory reset. Since doing a factory reset wipes everything off your computer and puts it back to the exact state it was in the day you bought it, it should be your very last choice if you are having serious problems with your computer.  Another thing to keep in mind: If your computer had Windows 7 or Windows 8x on it when your purchased it, and you upgraded to Windows 10, and you do a factory reset, your computer will be running Windows 7 or Windows 8x when the factory reset has completed.  However, you can re-install Windows 10 without having a product key. The Windows 10 key was hardcoded to your computer when it was installed (or when you upgraded). You can create Windows 10 installation media by following the instructions on this page. During the installation process, when you're asked for a product key, choose "Skip" and go on with the installation.

You should always try System Restore, System Reset, or Fresh start before resorting to a factory reset. If you want to know how to do a factory reset, check with your PC’s manufacturer.

Be a Text CTRL Freak!
Windows 7, Windows 8.1, Windows 10 (all versions)

This tip will work in any email program like Thunderbird, on it most web mail programs like Gmail and Outlook.com. It also works in word processors like Microsoft Word and similar. It will also work in WordPad which comes with every version of Windows.

You want to make a sentence or word bolded, just highlight the word or sentence and press CTRL + B. See?

If you want to underline a sentence or word just highlight the sentence or word you want to underline and press CTRL + U. See?

If you want to italicize a word or sentence, just highlight the word or sentence and press CTRL+ i ... See?

If you want to make a word or sentence bold and italic and underline, just highlight and press CTRL+B, CTRL+ i and CTRL+U. SEE?

If you want to indent a sentence or paragraph, press CTRL+ M

If you want to make a hyperlink (a link to a web site) highlight the word or phrase and press CTRL+K. When you press CTRL+K a dialog will appear, type or paste the web site address (URL) into the address field, and viola! You have a link to a web site.  See?

And if you want to create a new document press CTRL+N.

There are many more tricks like this. CTRL+C copies the selected text. CNTL+V pastes the copied text. If you accidently make a change or delete something you didn't mean to change or delete, if you press CTRL+Z right away, it will undo whatever you've done.

Strong Passwords Made Easy
Everyone who uses the Internet

We have preached and preached about using a good password manager like LastPass (or pick any good password manager) to create and manage passwords,. But we have finally realized that many of you are still not using a password manager and you’re never going to.

But we can’t begin to tell you how important it is that you use strong passwords and never reuse passwords on any site that deals with money or sensitive information (Social Security number, credit card numbers, etc.).

We have been around the computer world for a long time, so we know exactly why so many of you use simple passwords like sandyb1831 or reggie48… and we know why you use the same passwords over and over. Why? Because you can’t remember strong complex passwords and it’s a pain in the neck when you can’t log in to sites because you can’t remember your passwords. (These are all good reasons you should use a password manager like LastPass! )

So, for those of you who don’t want to use a password manager, here are some tips on creating easy-to-remember, but strong and complex passwords from your old uncle TC and auntie EB.

Let’s say your favorite movie is Gone With the Wind.  You make as strong password from that, you know?

Gon3WlTHth3w1nd*

That’s one way to do it. Notice the E’s are 3’s and the capital I in WITH is actually a lower case L. And the asterisk at the end adds a symbol to create a very secure password. According to www.howsecureismypassword.net  it would take a hacker 4 quadrillion years to crack that password. That’s longer than even EB is going to be around.

Or “Gone With the Wind” fans, try this one:

Fr@nkly$c@let*i*d0ntgiv3@d@mn

It would take a computer about 4 UNDECILLION YEARS to crack that password./p>

What if your wife has nice eyes? And her name is Meg?

iLuvuri$m3g

You are in luck. Even though that password is fairly short, it would take 400 years for a computer to crack that password.

Or what about your license plate, last 4 digits of your cell number and your first name. You can remember those things, right?

NEOU812*4419*D@n

His Nebraska license plate is OU812, the last 4 digits of his phone number is 4419 and his name is Dan. As you can see we used asterisks to separate them and the @ sign for the a in Dan. Oh so clever!  And Dan, you’re pretty safe. According to www.howsecureismypassword.net it would take a computer one trillion years to crack that one.

OK… now we’ve given you some ideas on how to create some pretty strong passwords that are easy to remember and almost impossible to hack. If you don’t want to use a password manager like LastPass, at least put our easy-to-use password tips to good use! After all, it’s for your own safety.

Let’s see what I can do with Darcy’s name…

dd@rcyYRu$0M3@N?

429 billion years to crack that one, EB!

Uninstall Programs Using the Windows 10 Start Menu
Windows 10

Did you know that in Windows 10 you can uninstall programs right from the Start menu. And you can even uninstall some (but certainly not all) Windows apps.

It is really easy to do, but if you haven’t tried it before there’s a few things you need to know. For our example, we’re going to uninstall AbleWord (not really – it’s a nice program). In order to get uninstall some programs you have to expand the folder. As you can see AbleWord is one of those programs.

So, to expand the folder, just click on the down arrow to the right of the program’s name. See?

After you’ve expanded the folder, find the program and right-click on it.

After you right-click the program’s icon, you’ll see a menu appear… click “Uninstall” from the menu…and proceed.

As of Windows 10 Fall Creators Update (version 1709), when you click “Uninstall” you’ll find that Control Panel > Programs > Uninstall a program opens. But we expect that soon, when you uninstall using the Start menu in future versions of Windows, the Control Panel step will be skipped.

Oh, and one more thing. Not all programs on your Start menu will need to be expanded, sometimes you can right-click on the item in the Start menu and you’ll get the menu with Uninstall in it.. .for instance:

Just right-click the name of the program and you’ll get the uninstall menu.

Do you think it’s easier to go to Control Panel > Programs > Uninstall a program or use the Start menu?

Whatever way you choose, if it works for you, that’s great.  But at least now you know another way.

Note: Revo Uninstaller & Geek Uninstaller are both excellent programs that can help you remove programs and all (almost) traces of them. Both are much more robust than the using the program's uninstaller. Also, Reg Organizer has a great uninstaller included - along with many other useful Windows utilities.

The Angels Have Gone Away

The angels don’t play here anymore. The angels have gone away.

They flew away when the selfishness and shallowness rose up in clouds and blocked the last feeble tendrils of sunlight that once shone on me. Now my everydays have turned into discordant dirges defining a darkness where only demons and devils dance to the discordant music.

The angels don’t play here anymore. The angels have all gone away.

Musing now…

I can barely remember when the angels flew near and watched over me and I lived blessed by their love. I can vaguely remember the beautiful silver glint of the sun’s reflection off sweet golden angel wings. It was a beautiful and fortunate time in my life yet I was blithe and cavalier and I took those lovely angelic halcyon days for granted. I deserved them after all — I had them coming to me. The universe owed me.

In my life the angels have come to visit me quite a few times but I never appreciated them when they were here. I took them as my due — I was special and I deserved the blessings of life.

But then I realize it’s not just my life the angels have abandoned; there’s a dearth of angels in this sad world of selfishness, avarice and hate.

On the news site yesterday, I saw a ten-minute clip of millions of starving children in Africa and didn’t see a single angel there. What I saw were ravaged children with bloated bellies, being caressed by weeping desperate mothers..

What does Windows as a service mean?

Windows as a service was introduced with Windows 10 as a new way to update and service the Windows operating system. So, instead of releasing new versions of Windows every three or four years - like Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7 - Microsoft will continually update Windows 10 in two distinct ways: Feature updates and quality/security updates.

Feature updates are released twice a year (it seems now that April and October are currently the preferred months for feature updates). Feature updates bring new features and functions to Windows 10. As much as Microsoft has tried to avoid names, feature updated have names. The feature update due out in April this year is referred to as the Spring Creators Update. The current version of Windows is version 1709, more commonly known as the Fall Creators Update. Up through March 1, 2018, there have been

Windows 10 Initial Release version 1507 - July 29, 2015
Windows 10 "November update" version 1511 - November 10, 2015
Windows 10 "Anniversary update" version 1607 - August 2, 2016
Windows 10 "Creators update" version 1703 - April 5, 2017
Windows 10 "Fall Creators update" version 1709 - October 17, 2017
Windows 10 "Spring Creators update" version 1803 - tentatively scheduled for release in April 2018.

Quality and security updates are cumulative updates that come out at least once a month. They contain security patches and operating system fixes to make Windows 10 work better and be more reliable. Because these updates are "cumulative" the latest update includes all of the updates that came before it and overrides previous updates. Each feature update will continue to receive quality and security updates for approximately 18 months after its release.
