Uninstall Windows Sidebar Gadgets The Windows sidebar is a wonderful little featured introduced in with Windows Vista. It has programs for it (called gadgets) that allow you to see the weather, check the stock market and see how much strain you’re putting your computer under. That’s just the beginning, though, because there are tons more gadgets you can download online, too! In fact, before too long your list of gadgets might grow beyond manageable, so this tip will teach you how uninstall them. First, click Start and in the Search Box, type Gadgets. The gadget window should open up: Now, simply right click on the gadget you want to give the ol’ heave-ho to and select Uninstall. You’ll get a confirmation window. Just click Uninstall again and you’re good to go! Now you have room to get even MORE gadgets! ~Andrew Click here to rate this tip | Printer friendly version   Every Hour, 240 Homes Are Burglarized!

Do NOT be a Statistic... Let's be honest: it's a scary time to be alive.  With a poor economy and an underlying sense of financial desperation, people are turning to drastic measures to make ends meet.  That means that more and more people are turning to crime, and the numbers are staggering.  Yes, it's sad.  But that doesn't mean they deserve what's rightfully yours! A recent study found that in America, there's a home invasion every 14 seconds.  Think about that - that's more than 4 per minute; 240 per hour!  That's insane.  That's frightening!

Keep That House...on LOCKDOWN! Home break-ins happen by the million.  It's absurd AND ignorant to think that it can't happen to you.  When it comes to this type of crime, EVERYONE is at risk - whether you live in a house or an apartment. No matter what neighborhood you live in, no matter how secluded and safe you may think you are...unfortunately YOU'RE NOT! Enough of this crazy, scary talk.  You get it.  A home alarm system is something that's likely been in the back of your head for a long time.  Ready to take action?  Check this out!

Read on for a description of how this simple but oh-so-effective alarm system can protect your family, your possessions, your home and yourself from the ugly face of home break-ins.  And don't forget to check out Steve's video demonstration! Cutting Edge Technology - Simple to Use! One of the best features about this alarm is how simple it is to set up and use.  There's no wiring, no third-party companies, no signs.  Just pure, ear-piercing protection.  Read on to see how easy this is to set up and operate. It's Motion Sensored with Infrared Technology.  That means that it picks up movement after it's been set, and once it does, you'll know.  Trust me.  And it's so easy to use - check this out. Mount it: As you can see in the video, this comes with a wall mount. It's meant to be placed near your door, or any path you think a burglar might cross.  It consists of two plastic drywall anchors and two screws.  That's it.  Once mounted, you simply slide the alarm into place and it sits securely. Set it: Take the included remote, push the "arm" button, and walk away!  You have 18 seconds to get out of it's path, and then it's totally set and ready to alarm you should anyone set it off.  Not just you - the entire street!  In the Morning: So once you're ready to deactivate the alarm, all you have to do is push the button on the remote.  Then it's off, eagerly waiting for you to set it again come night fall so it can continue protecting your home! Again, with an ear-piercing 105 Decibel Alarm sound, it's going to get EVERYBODY'S attention and send the crook runnin' for his mommy! This PATHETIC Excuse for a Human WILL Flee Your Property! Just look at him...he's a complete coward! Anyone willing to break into another persons home for their own benefit is scum.  Unfortunately, it's becoming a common problem with each passing day. The problem is, you can't count on the police to get to your home in a timely manner... You need something INSTANT.  Something loud enough to alert anyone within earshot that something's wrong.  Something that'll make cowards like this flee your property immediately and empty-handed.  This is it!

Hi Carol, The Google Toolbar provides a one-click translation of web pages. All you have to do is install Google Toolbar and click the Translate button whenever you want to translate the web page. Numerous languages are supported. Now, that you know the overview, let’s get into the details: Before I show you how to install and use the Google Toolbar, let’s get the prerequisites out of the way. Since Google Toolbar is an in-browser toolbar, some browsers may not be supported. The most common ones, such as Firefox 2.0 to Firefox 4.0, are supported. If the browser is not supported, however, Google typically directs you to a page that has the Translate add-on for your browser. Download Google Toolbar To download the Google Toolbar, perform the following steps: 1) In your web browser, go to http://www.google.com/toolbar/ff/index.html. 2) Click the Download Toolbar button. 3) Read the terms and conditions and then click the Accept and Download button. 4) After the toolbar is installed, you’ll be asked to restart the browser and the Google Toolbar will be visible. Using the Translate Feature of Google Toolbar To use the translate feature, go to the web page that you want to translate. Then, click the Translate button on the Google Toolbar. You’ll notice the page has been translated for you. ~Rupen Sharma Click here to rate this tip | Printer friendly version Do you have a question for us? Ask it here! Snowfall Free Live Wallpaper If you haven’t tried Live Wallpapers for your Android phone, you’re in for a treat. These often dazzling (and sometimes disturbing) animated images bring an Android home screen to life. One of them–Snowfall Free Live Wallpaper–offers a beautiful scene of evergreens gently swaying in the winter breeze, as snow falls softly around them. Note: Not all Android phones support live wallpapers, and the primary complaint about them is their draw on resources; a draw that occasionally causes phones to run sluggishly, or freeze up altogether. However, if your phone does support them, a Live Wallpapers category should appear in the wallpaper menu. This menu can be accessed through Settings>Display>Wallpaper or–in most phones–a long press on the home screen will reveal it. Get the link by clicking here! (Want these tips in their entirety?

Then they were talking about pop-up descriptions on my computer desktop and didn’t call them balloon tips. I was just wondering if there was a difference. Okay, Cameron, how can I explain this without driving us both nuts? When I started looking for the answer to your question, I got really confused. There were balloon tips. There were pop-up tips. There were description tips. There were tooltips. But they weren’t. Check this out: They are called screen tips. Every single one of ‘em. Every single little text box that pops up over an icon that displays information about that icon (or program that it represents), no matter how much information is displayed, no matter what the box says, no matter what shape, size, or color they are, is called a screen tip. It’s just that somewhere along the way (and this is only my opinion) somebody got bored with all of the “screen” tips and started renaming them for lack of something to do (or to get a good laugh by making sure that we wasted time trying to figure it all out). Here’s what I mean: Balloon tips: The “balloons” or bubbles that pop up when you hover over an icon in the notification area (the group of icons in the area next to the clock on the lower-right side of the screen). There are actually two types of balloon tips. (I mean types of balloon screen tips.)The first kind notifies you of what’s going on with your system, such as your network status, or how high your volume is. Balloon tip type #1: Get some answers here! (Want these tips in their entirety? Sign up for Premium!) AxCrypt For the longest time, I’ve been looking for a free program that would allow me to safely encrypt certain files on my computer. I have tried many different freeware options, but none were as secure or as easy to use as the program I’m going to show you today. It’s called AxCrypt and it’s bursting with magnificent features. Let’s check it out, shall we?! 1.) If you want to begin encrypting or password protecting your files, you’ll get some good use out of AxCrypt. 2.) Follow the setup instructions and after it has completed, exit out of the setup wizard. 3.) If you already have a folder with all of the files you want to encrypt, that’s great! If not, create a folder and then continue to step 4. 4.) Right click on the folder and scroll down to AxCrypt. Next, select Encrypt and a box will prompt you to enter and confirm a password.
