Cookies
Go into Control panel, then click on Internet options, Temporary Internet Files, Delete cookies, and then Delete Files, and Clear History. Depending on your Internet Options program due to differences in Internet Explorer 6 & 7, this may change; if it does, do the following instead.
If you go into Internet Options & see a Browsing History button click on it, click on the delete all button, another box will come up and make sure to check mark the box that says also âdelete files and settings stored by add-onsâ and click on Yes.

Disk Defragmenter
Click on Start at bottom of screen; go to All Programs, Accessories, System Tools, and Disk Defragmenter
SEARCH FILES & FOLDERS
Click on Start, then Search, All files & folders, type in *.tmp in the âall or part of a file nameâ box, then in the âlook inâ box make sure to click on the down arrow button and click on the C:\ drive or if you have more than one local hard drive, you can click for both of them & click on search button
*.tmp (application temporary files; delete any more than 1 day old) donât delete ones that have to do with your printer this will mess up the settings for your printer. The .tmp files for your printer will show the brand name for your printer.

This process can take a while to do depending on what needs to be fixed; thatâs why it should be done last. It can take anywhere from 5 minutes to 2 hours; time will vary depending on the amount of errors on your hard drive & operating system. When itâs done it will go back to the log in screen if you have a password (which is strongly recommended). If you donât have a password, it will go back to the desktop.
Once a month, If you have a desktop computer, open the tower to your computer and get a can of air and spray out the dust. This especially needs to be done if you have indoor pets. One cannot imagine how much pet hair collects in the tower.

We are going to get some snow in our area?
Peter S
I live in Maryland and there is about a 100 percent chance of snow in our area for tomorrow. We were going to have a Christmas party tomorrow, but postponed it until New Year's Day because of the snow. Is there anything we should do to prepare for it? We might get at least five inches.
Now they are saying we might get up to 2 feet :D
Answer
Begin by filling your cars with gasoline. This may save your life if you're in your car and end up stuck in the snow. Over the years, many drivers have frozen to death in a cold car that's stuck in the snow.
Step 2Keep a blanket, water, food, a little bit of sand and shovel in your car at all times. This will come in handy if you get stuck in the snow. Even if you can't dig yourself out, the blanket, food and water will sustain you until help arrives.
Step 3Charge the cell phone. You may lose home phone service during a snow storm and you'll need your cell phone battery charged to call for help in the event of an emergency. And remember, portable phones are useless without power! So dig out the hard line phone just in case.
Step 4Get gas for the snowblower and emergency generators. A snowblower is useless without gasoline. And you can't drive to the gas station to get more before you snowblow the driveway! This is another benefit of gasing up the cars - if absolutely necessary, you can siphon the gas from your car's gas tank to power an emergency generator or snowblower.
Step 5Go food shopping. Get plenty of non-perishable, ready-to-eat food. And remember the manual can opener! If you don't have a gas stove, you won't have any means to cook and if the power is out, your refrigerator will be useless (though you can always fill a cooler, bathtub or clean trash can with snow to keep at least some of the perishables cold to prevent spoiling).
Step 6Store water. You'll want one gallon of water per each person per day. Keep a four-day supply of water on-hand. And don't forget the pets! The dog, cat and other pets will need water too.
Step 7Get plenty of firewood! You'll need dry firewood as a heat source in the event that you loose power during the snow storm. Some winter storms - ice storms especially - can result in power outages that last days, sometimes more than a week!
Step 8Find the snow shovel! Dig out the snow shovel and keep it handy. To make snow shoveling a bit easier during a large storm, make a trip outside every 3 to 4 hours to shovel. For most people, it's easier to shovel a couple inches of snow on 2 or 3 outings vs. shoveling a foot of snow all at once.
