USEFUL TIPS

WHEN UPDATING OR ADDING ANY PROGRAM ALWAYS USE THE "ADVANCED USER" OPTION. STAY AWAY FROM THE "BASIC USER " OR "RECOMMENDED" OPTION. THIS WILL GIVE YOU THE CHANCE TO UNCHECK THE THINGS YOU DON'T WANT.

DO YOU HAVE UNWANTED PROGRAMS THAT CANNOT BE REMOVED USING WINDOWS "ADD REMOVE PROGRAMS" IN THE CONTROL PANEL? IF SO CHECK OUT THIS FREEWARE ... REVO UNINSTALLER

 

ALSO CHECK OUT ... AdwCleaner

 

THEY WORKED GREAT FOR ME GETTING RID OF SOME ADWARE.

REMEMBER, THERE IS NO LAW THAT SAYS YOU HAVE TO OWN A COMPUTER OR HAVE AN E-MAIL ADDRESS. NEVER GIVE ANYONE ANY INFORMATION OR ACCESS TO YOUR COMPUTER THAT YOU DID NOT WANT TO DO BUSINESS WITH. THE GOVERNMENT, COURTS, LAWYERS, BANKS, UTILITIES AND SO ON WILL NEVER ASK YOU FOR PERSONAL INFORMATION. IF THEY WANT YOU BADLY ENOUGH THEY WILL SEND YOU A CERTIFIED LETTER. THERE ARE A LOT OF BAD PEOPLE OUT THERE SO GOOGLE IT OR CALL ME ABOUT ANY ODD E-MAILS YOU GET.

Windows 10 update

The latest update to windows 10 made a major change in font size of your icon text. The icon for "Display"

was removed from the control panel, making it very difficult to change font size of the text for your desktop icons. 

Here is a link to correct this problem, https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/19768-change-icons-text-size-windows-10-a.html

Scroll down to the section titled "Option 2", pick the bold font in the size ( probably 12 ) you want & follow the on screen instructions.
