IE 7 Won't "Go" for Verbena
I have IE7.When I put a web address into the address bar how to I get it to open. I have clicked and tried. There is no GO that I can find. Thanks for all your information. I have been a member for a long time and look forward to your letter every week. Keep up the good work.

In Internet Explorer 7, the "Go" button has been replaced by a green arrow...Or, you can just type in a URL and hit your "Enter" key and you'll "Go" where you want to go.

Title Bars - They're Not Just For Titles You Know!
Windows 98/ME/NT/XP and Windows Vista

Sometimes those program window controls (at the top right of almost every window) - you know the minus sign, the rectangle(s) and the plus sign - can be difficult to work with.

Did you know that you don't need them anyway? Just double-click the title bar. (The title bar is the strip along the very top of the window which contains the program's name.) Double-clicking the title bar does the same thing as clicking the maximize button. To restore the Windows to its original size (if original size is not "maximum") just double-click the title bar again. If you want to see the window's context menu, right-click the title bar or hit the "Alt" key plus the spacebar key. You'll get choices to minimize, restore, or close the Window. And if the window has been maximized at some point in the current session, you'll see "maximize" there too.

And while we're in the maximizing mood, digiknow that if you want to minimize all windows at once (like when the boss walks in on you and you're goofing around) just press the Windows key plus the "M" key. When the boss leaves, just press the Windows key plus the M key again and all the windows are restored again.
