Freeware Graveyard

This webspace is dedicated to all these freeware programs that lost
 life fighting against shareware industry and decrepitude. 
I hope, here they can rest in peace. 
And will be remembered for good...

Tina's FrontPage Tips, by Tina Clarke

HOW TO ORGANISE YOUR ICONS IN 'OPEN
WEB' DIALOG BOX.

Did you know you could make your icons
smaller by right clicking on the menu and
choosing small icons, click large icons to make
them larger again. If you click on one
of the icons you can also choose from:

Open
Remove
Move up
Move down
Rename

You can also add menu items, like your
favourite webs. I keep my webs under My
Documents/My Webs. So in the Look in: bar I
select My webs and click ONCE to select my
favourite web in the listing in the pane below.
Then, still in the same dialog box, go to Tools
(not the tools on the main menu bar), click on
the drop down menu and select 'Add to My
Places'. An icon with the text of the web will
appear in the menu bar on the left.

Also under the tools menu you can access:

Delete
Add to Favourites
Map Network Drive
Properties

In properties you can enable a thumbnail view
and see the calculation size for a web.

Fun with CD's
Windows  lets you do handle audio CDs without going through a
media player first.

Place a CD in the drive and open Explorer to the CD drive folder.
In the right panel you will find .cda files starting with Track01
and numbered upwards - Track02, Track03, and so on. If you
right-click on one of these files, you can play it automatically
by choosing Play from the context menu. If you double-click on a
track, it will also play automatically.

Try dragging a track onto your desktop (you can either copy it or
create a shortcut). Rename the track's copy or shortcut to the
song's name. After this, whenever you have the CD in the drive,
you can double-click this desktop icon to play the song. You can
also drag tracks to your hard drive and put them in your Start
Menu - to play automatically when you boot up.

Antivirus software is a good choice to scan your system for possible viruses, 
however no virus scanner is 100% effective as manufactures cannot keep up with 
the rapid change of viruses that happens daily.
Be sure to update yours regularly.
