"Shift+Ins > paste. Handy when you're on the right site of the keyboard."

What if your in front of your Keyboard?

I read at a font site that Windows could handle 10,000 fonts with no trouble.

Is this true and if not what would be a good number of fonts to keep in the windows folder.

When someone mentions putting shortcuts on their desktop they're really meaning into TabLaunchpad. Aren't they?

I think there is a way with windows that you can justify some of the shortcuts with key combos. Not exactly sure where though. I didn't mess with that since I hardly use hot keys. I'm a mouse lover.

OExpress has and always will be limited in it's archival functionality for marketing purposes. If people want a real eMail program they have to either move from it to something by someone else, or foot the $$ for Outlook...

One thing I do suggest to some clinics trying to keep costs down, is Outlook and then purchasing a program that will deal with the process for you...

but....

Outlook Express 5.0/6.0 Backing Up Email Messages

1. First, locate the message store folder. In Outlook Express, select from the
menu Tools|Options.

In the new window that appears, select the Maintenance tab. Click on the Store Folder… button.

Write down the location of the store folder.

It will be need later.

The location should resemble something like

C:\WINNT\Profiles\Administrator\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook Express

or

C:\Documents and Settings\Users Name\Local Settings\Application Data\Identities\{registry key lingo}\Microsoft\Outlook Express


2. Quit Outlook Express. In order to backup mail in Outlook Express, it is important to first exit Outlook Express.

Failure to do so can produce unexpected results including corrupting the data.

3. Create a new folder in the C:\ drive by opening My Computer and double-clicking the C icon.

In the C drive window, go to File|New|Folder.

Rename the folder to EmailBackup.
(If this folder already exists, you can skip this step.)

4. Go to My Computer and locate the store folder in step 1. Copy and Paste the files from the store folder into the EmailBackup folder.

Restoring Email Messages

Restoring email messages is just a simple recopying of the backup files into the store folder.

However, be warned that simple recopying will overwrite the previous data.
All emails that arrived between the time of email corruption and the time of the
last backup will be lost. If the emails are important and need to be recovered by technical personnel, rename the corrupted files in the store folder to something that can later be identified. For example, Inbox.mbx can be renamed to Inboxmbx.old.

Then, copy the backup files.

That way, temporary functionality can be restored in your email application until some type of support/help is found to remedy it.

I've posted a few different ways of doing this, but they all boil down to the same thing in the end. Outlook Express is not any type of seriously thoughtout application in that it is a free application Microsoft pretty much uses to bait those who end up, wanting or need more functionality, into purchasing Outlook.

There are some eMail and Windos Backup programs that will deal with the issues raised by Outlook Expresses short comings priced starting around 25.00 US - $100's US.

personally, all I do with clinics who use it to keep costs down, is make sure they have compacted their email inbox and such, then zip compress the whole directory into a single zip file named sequentially and store it in another location on the server in their user directory. Then if need be a restore can be done by un-compressing the zip into a created restore directory and then *importing* the emails without allowing duplicates, back into the present Outlook Express User Setup/Inbox...

anyway...

If anyone would like, I can list a list of URL's for backup software for OE, some of them allow you to actually browse through the backups and pull specific emails out...

.....

Also, I can list some other eMail clients that might be worth the money to switch to that *do* have internal support for saving and restoring, if not outright backing up and restoring emails, address books etc....

good luck and if you hit a wall can can't seem to walk around, climb over or dig under it...













blame it on Jafo !!!!

no seriously, let me or someone else know and they will help you through it if possible...

motion, the order in which you are bracing the text might be exactly or too close to actual command structure for this msg system?

So maybe they get filtered out?



Oh, Microsoft has released ASP.Net sites.

They released betas of five packaged Web Applications written for ASP.Net. ALl are free to download and can be modified as desired.

Each of the 5 are are:
Web based Community Site,
Time Tracking application,
Generic Database Reporting application,
Web Store front
Web Portal.

The templates are located at www.asp.net http://www.asp.net for anyone interested in playing around with them....

ugh, back later, got to go get my second nerve block shot, ick..........
oh well after this only one more to go, I hope

c-ya !

Hmmm.

Angel_Wings finds cars about as fascinating as her own feet... they might be cute and little and on occasion she can scrub and polish them and buy shoes for them but in the end, it's just something to get her from point A to point B, so at least to this human being of the female persuasion cars are a bore. (Then again, some people have foot fetishes...but I just find that a bit…well, unusual).

-And yes, in this day and age..."American made" or ‘Foreign’ made isn't always precisely so (perhaps 'assembled in____' would be a more accurate label with certain manufactured items).

*Yawn* I need to wake up...

Seedless grapes or seedless watermelons?

I really do need to wake up...wrong thread


Hey, Craeonics...that font tip was awesome btw!

Grapes, not seeds and you can use them to make tounge sized trails to follow

Windows tips are great, but I prefer asparagus tips in holandaise.

Assigning HotKeys to shortcuts: Right click on the shortcut you want to assign a hotkay to. Hit properties. There in the "shortcut" tab there is a "shortcut key" box that you can enter the hotkey into. Its always "ctrl + alt + something" you cant have just control or anything.

Holding down the Shift key while Windows boots (98 for sure, not sure about the others) will prevent all startup programs being loaded.

Since I never learned how to type, my hands tend to be located at one side of the keyboard (ergo, the left side and the right side), constantly shifting, depending on whether I'm entering texts or editing (select, delete and what not).

As for those hotkeys, I think you can use function keys as well. Dude at work has F8 hooked up to Explorer.

It's been nearly a day since there's been any traffic in here - so I thought I'd put in my tip!

If you use Outlook XP (and 2K I believe, I don't remember,) and want to bring it up for anything, you can use any Explorer or Internext Explorer address bar to go directly to where you want to go with the outlook: addresses.

outlook:inbox
outlook:calendar
outlook:today
outlook:sent items

etc. Great for those of us who don't want to hunt down an icon on their desktops (or don't have any desktop icons!) or who don't want to reach about for their mouse to dig through their start menus!
