Windows XP On Screen Keyboard Saves the Day
What do you do if your keyboard goes wonky? How do you type an email message
or even type a command string in the Run command? No problem! Just use the
Windows XP On Screen keyboard. This little utility is handy not only if your
keyboard stops working, but also if you're using a handheld or tablet PC.
You need to be prepared, though. Try this out:
Right click on an empty area of the desktop, point to New and click
Shortcut.
On the first page of the shortcut wizard, type in osk in the text box and
click Next.
On the Select a Title for the Program page, type in Online Keyboard. Click
Finish.
Now that the online keyboard icon is sitting there on your desktop, ready
for when your keyboard goes whack. Just click the icon, then open the
program you want to type into, and have at it. Is that cool or what?

Hello All,
Just a short note to let you know I've released a database update for
SpySites with more than 300 additional sites added.
Although the Database is the same for both SpySites and SpySites Plus, they
install in different directories. Please choose the correct one for your
version.

Optimize Your Registry
The Registry is one of those things Windows simply cannot do
without. The Registry acts as a repository in the form of a
massive database of information about your computer and
everything on it. Occasionally, however, because of frequent
inserts and deletes, the registry can become unwieldy, with large
holes in it. Think of it as a slice of Swiss cheese.
You can manually optimize your registry in addition to the
regular automatic optimization. To do so, just type:
SCANREG /OPT at the DOS prompt. This compacts the Registry down
and fills in the holes.
Caveat: This procedure won't work from within Windows -- only at
the DOS prompt. Also, the procedure will not work at all within
Windows.

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.
