The Best Computer Tips and Tricks: Windows XP

The Best Computer Tips and Tricks: Windows XP

Control Inactive System Tray Icons

You don't have to hide or show all the icons in your system tray—you can control their disappearing acts. Right-click on the taskbar and select Properties. Click on the checkbox next to "Hide inactive icons" (if it's not checked by default), then click on the Customize button. For each item on this list, you can choose "Hide when inactive," "Always hide," or "Always show" options to decide what you'll see and when.

Fit More Icons on Your Desktop

If your screen is so cluttered with Word documents and program shortcuts that you can't see the rolling meadows of your wallpaper, you don't need to move piles of stuff to the Recycling Bin. Just change the amount of space between icons. Right-click on the desktop, select Properties, then click on the Appearance tab, and click the Advanced button. In the "Item" drop-down, scroll down to Icon Spacing (Horizontal) and Icon Spacing (Vertical); changing the value in the "Size" field will move icons closer together (while increasing the number will move them farther apart). When you're done, click OK. To make your existing icons follow these rules, right-click on the desktop, select "Arrange Icons By" and then click Align to Grid, then go back to the same menu and click "Auto Arrange."

Shut Down from Your Desktop

If you're trying to eliminate every extraneous mouse click, you can shut down your computer with an icon on the desktop. Right-click on your desktop, click "New," and then click "Shortcut." In the "Type the location of the item" field, type "shutdown -s -t 00" to give you a way to shut down the computer immediately. (Change the -s to -r to create a reboot shortcut instead.)

Change What Programs Start When Windows Does

You can prevent a lot of apps forcing Windows into chilled-molasses boot times—without uninstalling anything. Click Start, then "Run...," and type msconfig. This brings up the System Configuration Utility window. Click on the Startup tab to see a list of all the apps slated to start when you boot up Windows. Click the check mark next to any you don't want, and then click OK to save your choices.

Type With an Onscreen Keyboard

Whether you have trouble with your hands or you just prefer using the mouse, typing with Windows' onscreen keyboard can be a great convenience. Navigate to Start > All Programs > Accessories > Accessibility, and click "On-Screen Keyboard." Click OK to clear the dialogue box and then start "typing"—you can even change the settings to "press" keys just by hovering your mouse over the letter you want (enable this feature by selecting "Typing Mode" from the Settings menu).

No-wait Screen Savers

Don't want to wait for your screen saver to kick in? Create a shortcut to it just as you would for any other program by hitting Windows key + F to search your computer and click on "All files and folders." Type "*.scr" in the "All or part of the file name" field to find every screen saver file on your computer. In the resulting list, right-click and drag the screen saver you want to your desktop. Whenever you want it to start, just double-click its icon.

8 Tips on how not to destroy your career with social media

8 Tips on how not to destroy your career with social media

Recruiters, potential employers, the competition… you know they’ve checked out your LinkedIn profile because, well that’s what it’s there for, a business profile making you look all professional and stuff. BUT did you know that these people are just as likely to check you out on social networking sites such as Facebook, Twitter and Google +?
A recent study by Jobvite suggests that while 90% of employers are now using Linkedin as part of their recruitment strategy, two-thirds (66%) are checking out candidates’ Facebook accounts and more than half (54%) are reviewing Twitter activity.
While LinkedIn provides relevant information on professional skills and past employment, platforms such as Facebook and Twitter are also increasingly being viewed to gain a deeper insight into the personalities of candidates.
Another study conducted by CareerBuilder asked employers what they are looking for when researching candidates on social networks. 65% said they do it to see if the job seeker presents himself or herself professionally and just over 50% want to know if the candidate is a good fit for the company culture.
It’s safe to say that what you do on social media these days can definitely impact your career path and employability! So if you want to be in the running for that dream job, make sure you stop, think and consider these career survival tips next time you post on social networks….

1. Smarten yourself up!
Just as your Grandma would insist on combing your hair before you stepped outside, ensure that your social media accounts provide the best impression of you.
Everyone can benefit from regularly reviewing their profile once in a while. You’d never go into an interview with an out-of-date CV, so why ignore the ‘studying at [insert university here]’ when you graduated 4 years ago?
Make sure your social media accounts are completed, with clear and concise use of language. Create a ‘Key Skills’ section (where applicable), distinct from any individual job description, to highlight your main personal selling-points up front. Ensure that all info is accurate, up-to-date and consistent across your various social media accounts. Use a recent photo where you look smart and sober – but don’t be afraid to smile.

2. Do a little boasting…
We all do it. You just have to look at your CV to know you’re guilty of it. But why not highlight your professional and personal achievements on social media? We know what you’re thinking, you don’t want to be ‘that person’ who’s constantly posting about this promotion and that referral and this account… but it doesn’t hurt to be a little proud of yourself. It will get you some extra attention from friends and colleagues congratulating you and you’ll find it will go a long way in helping you land that dream job.
Highlight your personal contribution to successful projects. Post updates about your work and the results you achieve on a regular basis. Source recommendations and referrals from your existing business contacts.

3. If you don’t have something nice to say…
“…then don’t say anything at all.” Wise words, particularly in relation to print. Print being words that are in black and white and can be publicly read all over. Don’t be tempted to bad mouth your employer, your boss, your colleagues or customers online as these comments have a nasty (yet strangely reliable) habit of being picked up and shared among the very people you’ve insulted.
Likewise, no matter how strong the provocation, never be drawn into an argument via social media. In the event of someone doing damage to your reputation online, stay cool and calm, then contact the person directly to suggest that you move the discussion into a more private domain. When your current (and future) employers are likely to see the fall-out of any ongoing argument online, it’s better to be seen as a peace-maker rather than an aggressor.

4. It’s all about me!
It’s ok to do a little boasting but don’t just focus on yourself all the time. This goes without saying. No one is interested in being friends with someone who focuses solely on how wonderful they are. Just like you’d interact with different friendships groups, use social networks to post interesting industry news, join in discussions and polls on topics relevant to your work.
By placing yourself at the centre of topical industry discussions, you’ll not only raise your personal profile among your contemporaries, you’ll demonstrate your passion and engagement with your work: an attractive quality to any future employer!

5. No one else will ever see it, I promise!
I’m sure those were the last words Kim Kardashian heard before starring in her very own homemade sex film. These days nothing is private. Trust no one….. ever. Ok a bit dramatic perhaps, but seriously, if you wouldn’t feel comfortable with your parents seeing it, then it’s not appropriate to upload on any social site.
Discretion is advised when selecting photos to be posted online. Remember that it’s not just the photos that you personally post that you need to worry about: you also need to keep a close eye on any photos your friends may have posted that feature you.

6. Potty mouth
Humour is very subjective and while you may be confident enough that an off-colour or poor taste joke will be appreciated by your closest friends, it may be judged as extremely offensive by others, including customers, clients and employers.
In this context, is the joke you’re about to post even worth sharing? Think: ‘If I was in a room of crowded people would I feel comfortable standing up on a chair and announcing this’? If the HONEST answer is ‘yes’ then it’s probably in the realm of good taste and inoffensive humour.

7. Don’t skip school – we’ll find out
Did you ever skip school, only to be spotted at large and dobbed-in by your parent’s friends from the down the road? The internet is awash with stories of people who have foolishly thrown a sickie from work then been exposed as liars after posting updates about their day off on social media.
Given that social networking is all about connections, it’s wise to assume that anything you post has the potential to reach anyone – even the people you’d prefer didn’t see it. Not only are you likely to be reprimanded (or worse) by your boss, you’ll be exposing your inner idiot to any future employers too.

8. Spread the love
We all love the occasional picture, email or message that gives us the warm and fuzzy feeling, so give your social media contacts a little love too. Share content from your colleagues, friends and employers.
By providing other influential social media users with a little bit of TLC, you’re likely to receive reciprocal retweets and shares from others in the future.

Facebook out to buy solar drone maker: report

Facebook-backed Internet.org could put such drones to work as airborne wireless hotspots.

SAN FRANCISCO (AFP) - Facebook is in talks to buy a solar-powered drone startup in what could lead to making wireless Internet available in regions without online access, according to technology news website TechCrunch.

TechCrunch cited an unidentified source as disclosing that the leading social network is considering buying Titan Aerospace for about $60 million.

Facebook declined to comment Tuesday on what it referred to in an email to AFP as "rumors and speculation."

Titan Aerospace makes high-altitude, solar-powered drones that can fly for as long as five years without touching down.

Facebook-backed Internet.org, which has a stated mission of making online access available everywhere in the world, could put such drones to work as airborne wireless hotspots.

Aerospace Titan would start by making about 11,000 drones to fly above Africa and other parts of the world with minimal to no Internet access, according to TechCrunch.

Aerospace Titan was founded in 2012 and has its headquarters in the state of New Mexico where it handles research and development.

The takeover, if confirmed, would come as Google works on a Project Loon to spread Internet access using balloons.

Minister admits Iran cannot block Facebook forever

Culture Minister Ali Janati says the government is working to remove the online constraints.

TEHRAN (AFP) - Iran will not be able to keep up forever its ban on legal access to Internet hubs such as Facebook, which has four million Iranian users, Culture Minister Ali Janati said Sunday.
Such remarks by an Iranian official would have been unimaginable before President Hassan Rouhani, a reputed moderate, took office in August with a vow for more freedom.
"Four million Iranians are on Facebook, and we have restricted it," said Janati.
"We cannot restrict the advance of (such technology) under the pretext of protecting Islamic values," said the minister.
Access to the popular social networking site -- along with others which Iranian authorities regard as un-Islamic, immoral or undermining the Islamic establishment -- is obstructed by a massive filtering mechanism.
But tech-savvy Iranians have resorted to measures, known as anti-filters, to circumvent the restrictions.
Janati drew a parallel with a ban on fax machines and video tapes and players imposed the 1979 Islamic revolution.
"If we look back, we see many of the actions we took after the revolution were ridiculous."
Rouhani has adopted a policy that promises greater tolerance on social, cultural and media issues -- a vow that helped him beat his conservative opponents in the presidential election last year.
But the government has faced resistance from hardliners resisting a reversal in such policies.
A committee of 13 members determines what online content can be reached on Iran s Internet, which is notoriously slow.
Unapproved sites are put under the filtering system. The ban includes Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and numerous other sites, including blogs.
On Sunday, Janati suggested that the government was working to remove the online constraints.
"The six ministers who are members of the (filtering) committee have clearly stated that we cannot continue to isolate ourselves from the world," he said.
But, he added it would take time.
"However, (filtering) is one of those issues whose solution requires time. And it will be resolved in time," Janati said.
Despite the bans, several Iranian officials are active on social networking sites.
Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif has attracted nearly 850,000 Facebook followers by posting regular updates in Persian, and he operates the only "verified" account of an Iranian official on Twitter.
He also has a YouTube channel.
Several pages are also apparently run by Iranian officials, including a popular Twitter account, @HassanRouhani, believed to belong to the president s office.
Iran s ultimate authority, supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, also has an online presence, with a Twitter account in Farsi and a Facebook page (facebook.com/www.Khamenei.ir) dedicated to him.
