Tsarevna - A Medieval Russia Quest
Tsarevna is a cartoon adventure game that brings back memories of
old good PC quests. With funny plot, colorful graphics and
nonviolent story this game offers you hours of fun for the entire
family. You will not only solve the puzzles but also have a unique
possibility of the insight at the life of a medieval Russian city
(being primarily the entertainment, the game nevertheless is based
on true historical facts many of which have never been known to
you before).

Show All Hidden Devices in Device Manager (Windows 2000/XP)
http://www.winguides.com/registry/display.php/1107/
Devices that are installed but are not currently connected to the
computer (such as a Universal Serial Bus (USB) device or "ghosted"
devices) are not normally displayed in Device Manager. This tweak
causes all devices to be shown.

Computer Profiler v2.0
http://www.karenware.com/powertools/ptprofiler.asp
This popular Power Tools displays over 200 bits of information
about your computer, including network settings, Windows version,
and information about your computer's memory, disk drives,
printers, and more. The latest version also displays almost 40 of
Windows' regional or locale settings, including several not
displayed by Windows' Control Panel.
The new Profiler also sports a "Save to Disk" button, allowing it
to save your computer's information to a disk file. From there the
information can be printed, shared with others, or imported into a
document or spreadsheet.
Another new feature is for advanced users or system
administrators. It allows you to run the Profiler from a command
line, shortcut, script, or batch file. If the command line used to
launch the Profiler contains "/Save" followed by the name of a
disk file, the Profiler's information will automatically saved to
that file.

Registry Explorer 1.4
This is of course the news you have all been waiting for. Version
1.4 is
finally out.
It has taken some time to get this release out, but this release
was
worth the wait.
First there is some new functionality, basically the ones you know
from
regedt32 that were still missing in Registry Explorer: backup,
restore,
load hive, unload hive.
But other than this, this release is a complete rewrite of the
software,
which is why it took such a long time to develop. Lots of bugs
have been
fixed and the speed has increased dramatically.
Download it now from:

Tina's FrontPage Tips, by Tina Clarke
Never mind the quality feel the compression
FrontPage is set up by default to further compress inserted
images by as much as 75 per cent, and this will degrade the
quality of the image once the page is saved. To prevent this
you can right-click on the image you just inserted into
FrontPage (prior to saving the page) and select Image
Properties from the pop up menu. Change the JPEG
compression setting to 100 per cent, which will prevent
FrontPage from compressing the image further. This will of
course increase the file size.

Knowing What to find
In yesterdays tip we pointed out that you could save yourself a
step and some time when searching for files by right-clicking in
the folder where the file resides and choosing Find. You can use
the same technique to search
for strings of text in a document. This is a feature that I use
all the time, when looking for a phrase or heading I might have
used before. Just right-click on the folder where you want to
start your text search and choose Find. Then enter the word or
phrase in the Containing Text field and click Find Now. Searching
in a specific folder like this is necessary when it comes to
searching for text, as it takes your computer quite a while to
scan the text of each document.

Antivirus software is a good choice to scan your system for

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.
