Internet Explorer 11, which Microsoft has called "the last version of Internet Explorer", will continue to be supported until an undisclosed date, but it seems obvious that just as Microsoft is keen for Windows users to upgrade to Windows 10 - the company would also like you to start using Edge. Windows 8 users are about to be cut off from security updates. When the first Patch Tuesday of 2016 rolls around on January 12, it will represent the last batch of updates for Windows 8. If you're still running Windows 8, it's time to update to Windows 8.1 or Windows 10 or risk exposing your PC to unpatched security risks. ---------------------------------------------------Gene Wheeler recommends: Lots of info about all nations. http://www.nationmaster.com/ Joe's Tips and Reviews Page 4 Gene recommends this web site for UK Basketball Fans. http://kentuckysportsradio.com/category/basketball-2/ ---------------------------------------------------- United States Armed Forces Medley http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tnFGc5r9bJE ---------------------------------------- ANCHORS AWEIGH http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_4KHSjFWVhQ ---------------------------------------- Q.

MAL ---------------------------------------------------Emailed received on last nights meeting. Joe, I really enjoyed your presentation last night. Bill Collins had recommended you and the Society. I realize how much I don't know. As well as Windows 10, I probably should consider the most basic course. You had mentioned you will send me the necessary things to look at when I get a new computer. I am going to look today, but will wait to hear from you. I am sending this email from public library. Margaret ---------------------------------------------------I saw the meeting/ The picture and sound was ok but the computer went black about 7 58 What cause that I wonder. Seems like it wasn't to many there. Is there a lot of positive feedback on this. That's one is the weather is bad like tonight you still watch and won't miss a thing, Stay warm let me know if you got this ok Charles ---------------------------------------------------Great content. The video and was good, and the framing of the screen and Joe were great. My feed froze up once during the dancing video for about 30 seconds. And at the end of class, the sound track got out of sync with the picture, i.e., you would see Joe mouthing the words and then the sound would follow a few seconds later. Joe ---------------------------------------------------I chose to stay home and watch the class on computer vs. coming out in the cold. I watched on my desktop, where I had no interference from tv etc. It was great to watch although it was hard to follow what you was doing as I couldn’t follow the arrow moving around. I could hear Mike Seiler clear when he spoke in the background. Missed being there though. Katherine ---------------------------------------------------- Joe, Great to learn about One Note. I plan to use it for my photos! Joe's Tips and Reviews Page 19 The first half of tonight's session was on again off again for me. Maybe because I was on my iphone. But the sound was good throughout the session. Thanks for live streaming! It's great! Carolyn ---------------------------------------------------Hi Joe, Just watched online. It won't work on my IPad but works great on my computer. I have a question. How do you share a playlist on Spotify? I like the songs you have on yours and was just wondering if you could share it. I've started one but I think I've got too many of the same artists. Thanks and I'll try to get there next month. Linda ---------------------------------------------------Thank you Joe. I could hear you fine and could see you very well. I could not hear when someone else was talking about the classes this year...got bites and pieces. Thanks again.

OneDrive: Save some Files and Folders there, save space on your hard drive. Create a link and whoever you send the link, can open the File or Folder. Great idea if you can use it. I love it. A GREAT WAY TO USE ONEDRIVE. The big advantage of using OneDrive is that you have 15 GB of free space and you can drag 20MB, 50MB or larger files or folders there and share them. It also saves space on your hard drive. VIDEOS take 30 MB a Minute. You can use OneDrive to share photos, documents, and other files. First click on File Explorer in Windows 8.1. OneDrive comes with Windows 8.1 It should show all your files and folders and at the top left show OneDrive. Drag the file or folder up to OneDrive. Right click the file or folder and scroll down to Share with, click on OneDrive. Click on Get a link Control Panel, Bing, Belarc Advisor, YouTube Joe's Tips and Reviews Page 49 Click on Create link, it will create a link, then click on Shorten link. Highlight the link, then Copy and paste the link into your email and anyone you send the link to can open the file or folder. Caution, when you drag a file or folder from your computer to OneDrive it actually moves them but you can always move them back by dragging them to where they came from, or just make a copy of the file or folder and you will have it in both places. I drag mine up to OneDrive and leave it there, it leaves me more room on my hard drive. I created this sample folder: http://1drv.ms/1LFia4u for every one to use. The recipients that use the link should click on the first photo and then click on Play slide show. If they want a copy of the photos, documents, or other files or folders then highlight what they want and click on Download, then at the bottom click on Save. =================================== Spotify: Now with lyrics so you can sign along.

Thank you all. See you in September. 12 months of Windows Tips: http://www.ckcs.org/joetips.pdf Please Remember there is no meeting in AUGUST. Take care, Joe Isaac ====================================== In Windows 7 Vista, and XP: (The globe at the extreme left side of your Taskbar is the Start button.) 1. Go to Start, in the search box type Disk Cleanup, and hit Enter. I put a check mark in all the boxes, then click OK. You'll save hundreds of megabytes. You should do this every month or so. 2. Go to Start, in the search box type Defragment and hit Enter. at the bottom left click on Analyze disk and it will tell you if you need to Defrag. Defrag every 2 or 3 months. It takes an hour or so. Remember: Uninstall any programs you no longer want, and Delete any files (documents, photos, emails, etc.) you no longer want, then do Disk Cleanup, then Defrag, in this order. In XP go to: Start, Control Panel (classic view) click on Add or Remove Programs. In Windows 7 and Vista: Start, type Programs and Features in the Start Search box. If you click on the tabs at the top it will arrange the items in alphabetical or chronological order, click again and it will reverse them. 3. Go to Start, in the search box type System Information and hit Enter. It will tell you more than you want to know about your computer. 4. Go to Start, in the search box type System Restore and hit Enter. Control Panel, Bing, Belarc Advisor, YouTube Joe's Tips and Reviews Page 102 (When you computers starts screwing up, restart it and if that does not fix it, use System Restore, go back a few days when your computer was working OK and restore to that date.) This does not affect your documents or email, etc, only your system files, etc. Restore points are automatically created every time you download Windows updates. One of the nice things about Windows 7 and VISTA is that you don't have to remember where System Information, System Restore, Action Center are located, you just type it in Start Search and hit Enter and it takes you there. Fantastic. 5: Go to Start, in the search box type Action Center and hit Enter. Click on the down arrow of Security and it will show what safety features are turned on. Like Firewall, Virus Protection, etc.. There is also a Troubleshooting Icon that will help you Find and Fix Problems. 6. Go to Start, in the search box type Essentials and hit Enter and it will bring up Microsoft Security Essentials. On the right are Scan Options that include Quick, Full, or Custom. You need to run a virus scan every month or so. I run Full scan when I first get a computer and Quick scans after that. If my computer acts funny I'll do a Full scan anytime. Full scans take a long time and you have to reset your Power Options to 2 hours. Most antivirus software provides two different functions. A. Real time virus protection. It listens for virus type activity at all times. If it detects something, it will identify the issue and remove the virus. B. Full system scan. Those types of scans will actually inspect every file on your system for an infection. If it finds an infected file, it will handle the virus appropriately. Update, History, and Settings should be viewed here. ----------------7. Go to Start, in the search box type Power Options, and hit Enter. On the right of your checked plan, click on Change plan setting, I set mine to turn off display 10 minutes and put the computer to sleep in 15 minutes. 8. To configure the icons on the right side of the Taskbar (this is called the Notification area). Go to Start, in the search box type Notification area, and hit Enter. On the right side use the down arrows to make your selection. Control Panel, Bing, Belarc Advisor, YouTube Joe's Tips and Reviews Page 103 9. Too many people have too many programs starting up, this slow down your computer and uses your resources. Go to Start, in the search box type msconfig then hit Enter, at the top, click on Startup, now go down through this list and uncheck programs that you do not want to start up everytime you turn on your computer, you can always access these programs by typing there name in the Start Search Box. When you finish you should have no more that 4 boxes checked. Be sure your antivirus program is checked. Don't be afraid to uncheck items, you can always go back and put the check mark back in. Only your Antivirus, like Symantec, McAfee, AVG etc. and your AntiSpyware programs needs to be there plus Microsoft item plus any other program you know and want to open at Start Up. Every 3 or 4 months you need to go back and check this again. When you install new programs some have the audacity to put them in Start up without your permission. (HOT TIP: Open Google, type in the file name you want to uncheck, it will have an .exe ending and Google will tell you what it is.) If you make a mistake just go back and put the check mark back in. When you Start up your computer again, if you get a dialog box: Put a check mark in and click on OK. ------------------------------------------------------------Contrary to what you have been told over and over, it is a good idea to unsubscribe to spam you receive. ------------------------------------------------------------------I know a lot of you are helping other people with their computers and that makes me feel really good. ------------------------------------------------------------------In Windows 7: Search Box. To get to the Send to folder, paste in the following in the Start %APPDATA%\Microsoft\Windows\SendTo Let's say you wanted to add Notepad to the Send To menu.

Welcome to the wonderful world of computing. Joe Isaac ---------------------------------------------------Windows 95 is 20 years old. Twenty years ago, Microsoft changed the world by releasing Windows 95 on August 24, 1995. I was at Best Buy when the doors opened at midnight, bought Windows 95 came straight home and installed it. That was the year I started teaching at CKCS. Control Panel, Bing, Belarc Advisor, YouTube Joe's Tips and Reviews Page 111 Windows 95 required a 386DX processor, 4MB of RAM, and 55MB of free space. Windows 10 requires 1 GHz processor, 2 GB RAM 16 GB of free space. A GB is a thousand times bigger than a MB. ---------------------------------------------------The familiar Windows 7 Desktop is back, only better. These are my Windows 10 screens, Your Windows will have your icons on the Desktop and Taskbar. In the Taskbar you will have a few new icons which will make computing must faster and easier. On the bottom left is the Start button, Search Box, a microphone icon, click on microphone icon and ask Cortana a question, or type in the Search Box. The next icon is called Task View and will show Apps that are open. Click on the crazy e and it will open EDGE. Control Panel, Bing, Belarc Advisor, YouTube Joe's Tips and Reviews Page 112 Windows 10 has a Desktop Screen, just like Windows 7 -- only better. Windows 10 boots straight to the desktop. Control Panel, Bing, Belarc Advisor, YouTube Joe's Tips and Reviews Page 113 This is Windows 10 Start Screen, It has a list of your most used apps, most visited folders and recently added software. If this list is not there, click on the 4 lines at the top left. Power button on the bottom left (turn computer off) Bottom left, click on the 4 lines or All apps and you will see all your apps in a single list. Right click an App and select Pin to Taskbar, Pin to Start. To toggle between the Windows Desktop Screen and the Start Screen, hit the Window key on the Keyboard or left click the Start button on the left side of the Taskbar. You might notice that both screens have the Taskbar. --------------------------------------------------------------You can still use your old programs like Windows Live Mail, Photo Gallery, Quicken, Word, and so on just like always. ============================= "Dancin' The Boogie" - by Silvan Zingg Boogie Woogie Piano Will & Maéva Dancers (Best dancers I've ever seen.

Tweaking the Send To menu What's that, you say? None of the stock Send to options offer the ability to shuffle your files to the locations you commonly use? Force the issue! First, create shortcuts to the folder locations you're like to add to the Send To menu by right-clicking them, then selecting Send to > Desktop (create shortcut). Once that's done, open Windows Explorer, then type shell:sendto in the location bar at the top, followed by Enter. You'll be brought to the location that holds your Send To options; just drag and drop in the shortcuts to the folders you want to add to the tool. My best keyboard action: Erase the past Control + Z. The keyboard shortcut undoes your last action, or last several actions. Remember this one it is PRIME. Add mouse-friendly checkboxes to icons View, Left click Item check boxes. Activating icon checkboxes lets you select multiple files to manage simultaneously, without having to hold down the Ctrl button as you click each one. Got a file or template you open often?
