On this page I'll include some of my tips and tricks I've learned from my experience. Where appropriate, I'll include steps or pictures to help clarify my explanations.
Please feel free to contribute your own tips - I'll post the best ones so everyone can see them. Here's an example of some tips. Tip 1: using "quick launch"
Quick launch is a nice way the have access to your shortcuts with out cluddering up your desktop.
1. right click on task bar (bottom of screen)then select tool bars, then select quick launch.
2. right click on any shortcut on desktop, drag it to the quick launch area of the task bar, select "move here"
3. click once on icon to launch program Tip 2: Freeing Up Disk Space
In this day and age when just about everyone is on the internet, we tend to lose disk space from files that are put on our hard drive from web sites we visit.
1. Your cache should be emptied often,
1a. Internet Explorer: click on tools, then internet options, then click on delete files.
1b. Netscape: click on edit,then preferences, click on the "+" sign next to advanced, then click on cache, and click on empty disk cache.
2. Delete Temp files
Do a search for .tmp, .bak, .hst (click on start, find, file and folders)you should be able to remove these files without any problems.
3. Other files you can delete search form .avi(movie files), .wav(sound files)be very careful deleteing these files. you can/should delete any files or programs that you have not used in awhile (6 mos to a year) Searching for .cab files
1. Click on the Start button
2. Select "Find/search", then select "file and folders"
3. Type *.cab in the (named) box, Make sure your looking in your hard drive.
4. Click "Find/search now"
5. win95 should have win95_02.cab - win95_28.cab
6. win98 should have win98_22.cab - win98_4x.cab
If for some reason you don't have these files then you will need the windows CD.
