No Life Department. Here is something that will help make computer maintenance easier for PC users:

Create a folder with all your cleanup utilities on the desktop.

1. Right Click on a blank space on the desktop. Select New, Folders, and Click.
2. Name the folder: “Clean Up”
3. Place it on the opposite side of your desktop from your other desktop icons (or wherever you want).
4. Go to Start, Programs, Accessories, System tools;
1. Right drag off the drop down list, and onto the desktop, and select “Create Shortcut Here”:
A. Disk Cleanup
B. Scan Disk
C. Disk Defragment
2. Drag them into the Cleanup Folder
5. Go to Start, and Right Click, Explore. Scroll to “Temp” (Not Temporary Internet files). Right Drag it to the desktop and select “Create Shortcut Here”, then drag it to the Cleanup folder
6. Every night, or every morning (at the beginning or at the end of a session, but not in the middle) Delete all the files from the Temp File; Run the Disk Cleanup utility; Run Scan Disk; and run the Disk Defragment Utility.

Your computer will thank you.

If you like unique icons for your desktop folders, Create the “Clean Up” folder in Control Panel, then right drag it to the desktop, and select “Create Shortcut Here”. Then right click the folder, go to properties, and go to change icon and select the Icon you want.

Ideas modified from Windows 98 Secrets.

They are predicting a transformation on
the same grand scale as the
personal-computer revolution of the '80s.
None of these men aspire to make their
company the next AT&T, which they
equate with the hidebound IBM of the PC
era. Instead, they speak wistfully of
becoming the next Intel.


"the next intel..."
hmmm,
can you say broadbandwalk ?

I urge everyone to read the article - it opens up new vistas of thinking as to the future of many industries. not just AXC.
Take the 5 minutes & go to

Thanks Ed good scouting.

Huxley and Orwell were both right about the future - if we're not careful, it will be a very exciting & possibly scary place.
