While you can sort / alphabetize favorites from within your browser - we're going to show you another way that is handier and quicker. Since, you're going to have to periodically alphabetize your favorites (because new ones you add after you've already alphabetized the list new favorites will be added to the bottom of the list and not in alpha order) we suggest the following way to keep your Favorites Folder in alphabetical order.
First, if "Favorites" does not already appear on your start menu, let's put it there. Right-click on your Start Button, choose "Properties" then click the "Advanced Tab" (at the top). Now, scroll through that dialog and tick the box next to "Favorites" - the click "Apply/OK". Easy so far, right? Now it gets even easier! Click your start button and find "Favorites" (it will have a yellow star icon next to it). Click to open it, and move your mouse over to the list of Favorites and right-click. From the menu which appears choose "Sort By Name". There you go, you're alphabetized in a flash. Since "Favorites" is now on your start menu you can repeat this tip as often as you like and sort your Favorites without opening Internet Explorer and with just a few quick clicks.
For you purists out there, itching to write us and tell us an "easier" way, OK we'll include the "purist's way": Open Internet Explorer and hold the Shift key down while selecting Favorites / Organize Favorites. This will show all your favorites and can make it easier to sort them. If you're using Windows XP you can right click and choose "Sort by Name" to put them in alphabetical order.

Clean Your LCD Screen
All Computers with Flatpanel/LCD Monitors
Don't turn the monitor off before cleaning it, this will help you see the smudges and smears. If your screen is merely dusty, you can wipe gently with a soft, cotton cloth or try a can of compressed air. But if your screen is downright filthy, you're going to need to do resort to stronger tactics.
First of all, don't use a glass cleaner like Windex. Windex and other ethyl alcohol / ammonia-based cleaners will turn your screen yellow over time. Who wants a yellow screen. "Not I," said the mongoose. (Where did that come from?).
You can buy special cleaners, but this is sort of throwing money away, since most of these are "ionized" water. You can buy a gallon of distilled water cheap and fill a clean spray bottle with it. Most distilled water is "ionized". If you feel that you need more than water, add a teaspoon or two of white vinegar to the water in the spray bottle and shake to mix the solution thoroughly.
Always use a soft cotton cloth rather than a paper towel or some other type of cloth. You can carefully mist your screen with the spray bottle being careful not to let it "run" down your screen, but the best bet is to spray the water or water-vinegar lightly on the cloth and then wipe the screen until all the smudges, dirt, and other crud is completely removed. It's best to use a lot of light wipes with the cloth rather than pressing too hard with the cloth trying to remove everything quickly. Touching or pressing on your LCD screen too hard or with your fingers can cause pixels to burn out. And you don't want that!
Open Wide! Forcing Internet Explorer To Open To Its Full Screen Mode Every Time
Internet Explorer - All Versions
The default behavior for Internet Explorer is to open at the same size it was at the last time it was closed. While the default does apply in many cases it's not always consistent. Try the following workaround:
· Open a single Internet Explorer window to the smaller size.
· Drag the corners of the window until it completely fills the screen. Do not use the maximize button to enlarge the window.
· Hold down the Ctrl key, and while holding it down use the mouse to click File and then Exit on the toolbar. NOTE: Do not use the "X" in the upper right corner to close the window.
· Internet Explorer should now open in a full window.
· If it still opens to a smaller size repeat the above but this time us the "Shift" key instead of the "Ctrl" key.
NumLock? Not So "Numb" After all!
Windows XP Home, Media, and Professional Editions
So you thought the NumLock key was fairly useless, right? Digiknow that there's a little trick you can do with that "numb" NumLock key and it provide a very useful and handy function? It's true! When ToggleKeys is turned on, your computer will make a high or low tone beep when you press any of the NumLock, CapsLock, or ScrollLock keys. Instead of turning this feature on in the Accessibility Options you can simply hold down the NumLock button for five seconds. See? It's much quicker than rooting around in Accessibility options for ToggleKeys, isn't it? You will hear a beep to let you know when NumLock, ScrollLock or CapsLock keys are on and you will see a dialog window appear as well. To turn it off, just hold down the NumLock for five seconds again.
