AdminMany people have a problem reading small text, so this is
very useful when trying to read small e-mail or web page print.
If you hold down the Ctrl key on your key board and turn the small
wheel in the middle of your mouse, the print size will change - it will
either get larger or smaller - depending on which way you turn the wheel.
Try it - you'll be amazed at the difference!

Need to change Windows XP “registered to” user name or company on your computer?
Go to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion in the registry.
Edit values RegisteredOwner and RegisteredOrganization as needed and save.
A great tool if you sell or give away an old machine.
CAUTION: Editing the registry can cause your computer to become unusable! Use at your own risk.

Having trouble finding the right word.
Microsoft Word has a built-in thesaurus.
Press Shift+F7 or open the tools menu, select language, and then choose thesaurus.
Word will display a list of synonyms for the word you've selected or the word closest to the insertion point.
A handy tool.

Concerned about security and virus threats many people do not like the preview pane option in Microsoft Outlook®.
To hide the preview pane in Outlook 2003, right click on “arranged by date”, then click on “Custom”, “Other settings”. Under the "reading pane" option, click the “Off” option button. To turn back on follow the above steps but click “Right” or “Bottom”.
In Outlook Express, Click on “View”, then “Layout”. Un-check “Show preview pane”.
This will hide the preview pane in Outlook and allow you to see who mail is from, before opening any messages.
