The Mouse Click (Formerly Daily Mouse Clicks)

Drag the windows by left-click-hold with the mouse in the highlighted area. This is a cool trick.  Want to have two windows open side by side or top and bottom filling up your screen? I used to do the right-click on the task bar at the bottom and select "show windows stacked" or "show windows side by side". The problem was that it didn't work well if you have more than the two windows open and you only wanted to work with two of them. But this trick really helps.   Windows 7 allows you to “dock” a window or manipulate its size with the mouse maneuver or a simple keystroke. To dock your window on one half of the screen, click and hold the top of the window (see picture), and drag it to the left or right. It will change its size to fit that half of the screen. To manipulate the vertical size of a window, drag the window to the top to maximize it, or double-click the window’s top or bottom border to maximize it vertically while keeping the same width. Awesome

So, why are the

 "You've Got Mail" Back in the 80's, a well known voice (trademarked, of course) announced from the computer speakers when AOL users received electronic mail.  The email program was just there. You didn't need to know how it worked. It just gave you access to email. But with technology and innovation comes change.  People wanted the freedom to access their email from other locations and be able to have it even when they didn't have their own computer.  So email evolved with lots of choices and even more confusion. Hopefully this small tutorial will make it easier to understand. Email Software Email downloaded to your computer needs some sort of software to be able to download, read and send email. Many of the software programs are free (such as Thunderbird) came with your computer (such as Outlook Express) or is part of a commercial software package (such as Outlook which comes with some bundles of Microsoft Office).  It used to be that this was the

Sorry about that! ☺ Last Minute Note:  To remove links you no longer want on your Favorites Bar, just right-click and select delete.
