I was trying to copy some files to another folder on my computer this weekend, as part of my “summer cleaning” of my computer… and lo and behold, I was moving files with the same names, but I wanted to keep the original copy.
Unfortunately, there’s no way in Windows XP to say “No To All” just like you can say “Yes To All” when copying or moving files. You have to click “No” over and over and over… and if you have a dozen or hundreds of files, this can be exhausting!

Gas prices are through the roof and most Americans do not live anywhere near public transit. So, people are shifting their extra money to gas, but what fun is gas? You surely can’t play with it or talk to it.
So, here are 7 Ways to Entertain Yourself for Free – both on and offline – but tied back to technology one way or another – because we wouldn’t be geeks if we didn’t figure out how to tie it back to a computer or a piece of hardware or software, right?
The following tip comes in handy when reclaiming some space on your Windows Vista machine.
Some users reported up to 0.9GB reclaimed!
Hat tip to Life Rocks for the how-to!
Have you upgraded to Firefox 3 yet?
Yes? Great!
No? Whatcha waiting for?
I admit, I tried a few of the betas and a release candidate of Firefox 3, and I was left feeling like, “This is it?” I wasn’t anxious or even looking forward to the download, but when the final release candidate was released, I felt like maybe, just maybe, I could download it on Tuesday, June 17, and feel okay with whatever came my way.
In February, I walked you through how you tweak your Firefox 2 about:config settings and how to condense your toolbar into one row.
Now with the release of Fx3, there are some significant changes in the way the browser handles bookmarks – which we should all be aware of!
Your bookmarks now have some new folders and features, such as “Most Visited”, “Recent Tags” and “Recently Bookmarked.” You also have the ability to drag and drop your bookmarks into the Bookmarks Toolbar Folder. But, there’s a catch!
Updated to Firefox 3 today – loving it so far. But, I have had a major problem!
I lost my saved passwords upon updating to Firefox 3! You can check to see if your passwords imported into Firefox 3 by going to Tools > Options > Security > Saved Passwords.
However, a little tinkering, and I have my saved passwords in Firefox 3!
Here’s how:
We have all sent print jobs to the printer to only realize – “I shouldn’t have sent that!” But when you right-click on the job and press delete, the job says “Deleting” but never goes away!
The only way I knew of to fix this was to restart my computer. But, that’s a huge pain when I have four or five programs open and working online, too!
Follow the directions below to manually force delete print jobs. You won’t have to reboot your computer afterwards, either!
I upgraded my computer system in January – and initially, I was upset because the laptop I wanted only came with Vista. I heard the horror stories and was not looking forward to using Vista, but I did it, anyway!
After playing around with it for a couple of months, I have found some tweaks that make it a lot better operating system, even if it means I lose some of those pretty visualizations Vista is known for.
I am always looking for ways to save time – because time IS money! Fortunately, there are lots of ways to save time when replying to emails, filling out forms online and more – text replacement software!
The premise of text replacement software is to provide a way to type in a few characters and have them replaced by sentences, code, paragraphs – whatever text you specify. No longer do you have to write out things like, “Best wishes, Sam” on your emails or standard replies to messages you receive. Just type in the characters and let the software do the work.
