98 Help menus are helpful, but they don't always speak your language. You
can put in your own two cents by annotating any topic. It's like pasting
a sticky note right on it. Right-mouse click the window of an open topic
and choose Annotate. Speak (type) your mind in the box that pops up and
click Save. From now on, you'll see a little paper clip any time you open
that topic. Click the paper clip to read your notes. To get rid of the
note, open it and click the Delete button. |

| Here's
how to put a quick restart icon on your desktop
1 - Open up a text editor (eg, NotePad
+)
2 - Type "@exit" in a new document window (without quotes)
3 - Save the file as "restart.bat" (batch file) in txt format
4 - Go to Windows explorer and right-click on the file that you just
saved and choose properties. Click on the program tab, and the "Advance..."
button. Check the box that says, "MS-DOS mode", and uncheck the "Warn before
entering MS-DOS mode" box, click OK.
5 - Next to the "Advance..." button there is a "Change Icon..." button,
click on it and choose an icon. Close window.
6 - There will be a shortcut file by the same name as the one you have
created earlier, drag the shortcut to the desktop and you're done.
Another way to restart Windows quickly -- Go into the Start Menu
and select --> Shut Down --> Restart the Computer. Hold down the Shift
key and click OK. |

| Don't
put up with this inconvenience; restore your preferred associations. It's
a lot easier than you think, as long as you plan ahead. When you finally
get Windows 95 or NT 4.0 set up to your liking, save those settings by
using the Registry Editor. First start the Registry Editor, then select
the folder labeled HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT. Choose Registry, Export Registry
File. (The equivalent NT command is Save Key.) Then give the exported file
a meaningful name--for example, Saved Associations.reg. |
