I have been using my RoadRunner email account as my primary email for several years now, however, my work keeps me moving, and Road Runner makes it a challenge to reply to emails outside of their network. Thus, the introduction to a NEW email address which allows me to respond to emails easily and quickly while out of the office.

A NEW Gizmo to Make Outlook Backups-

In my search to find some recent solutions for a client or two I also bumped into a new software solution by Microsoft to make outlook backups a lot easier and timely. One of the things that many of us use to support our business is Outlook (Not Express!) which manages email, contacts, calendars, tasks, and journaling of contact correspondence. Imagine loosing all that data with a computer crash!

Next time I am in your neighborhood, have me get you set up with this tiny utility which includes a scheduler for automatic backup to an external device. OR, if you are inclined to get it going yourself - it can be found at:

www.microsoft.com - Or do an OFFICE UPDATE by opening any Microsoft product (Like Outlook) then clicking on HELP -->Check for Updates (that is where I found the link originally!)

Quick Internet Explorer

Did you know you can get to a web site quickly from your Task Bar? There are several quick links that can be added to your Task Bar, one of which is the Address Bar for the internet.

• Right Click on an empty spot on your Task Bar
• Select Toolbars --> Address
• It will add an address bar to your task bar. You may have to adjust it with the little dotted bar on the right by grabbing it an sliding it over.
• You can then type any web site address and hit enter and OFF it will go!
• It will also respect your default browser (so if you don't use IE - it will use whatever you usually use, like Firefox or Mozilla!)

HOW do I change my wallpaper on the desktop?? (Especially with all these wonderful Holiday Pictures I want to look at)

• Right click on an empty spot on your desktop
• Choose Properties
• Choose the Desktop TAB
• Click BROWSE and choose your pictures folder - find a favorite that isn't too busy (Busy images make it hard to see your icons)
• Click OK

You can also adjust those ICONS that you need like MY COMPUTER and Internet Explorer -

• On the same display window that you started for your desktop picture, you can also click the DESKTOP button
• This will allow you to put check boxes in the essentials, AND change your icons for My Computer, Recycle, Etc.
