Sheila from Texas writes: What about all those files with the $$ in front of them? Can I delete ALL of those? Will it help my computer to delete them? Let’s start with an explanation… those files you’ve found are Temp (temporary) Files. Often they will have a “.tmp” extension and are located in a Temp folder. Various programs will create them while you’re working to hold auto-save files or other data the program may need. When you close the program they should be erased, but as you’ve found that’s not necessarily the case. (Computer crashes, improper shutdowns, general program issues often cause these files to be left behind.) They are safe to delete, but be sure to close all programs before you do it – since programs create and use them while you are working, you’ll want to be sure that nothing is currently being used. Temp files are using up disk space and could cause your computer to work slower… so yes – go ahead and delete them! ~ April Click here to rate this tip | Printer friendly version

Rileigh asks: I recently connected my smartphone to a PC, while listening to music on Windows Media Player (version 11). Afterwards, my phone contained all the music, videos, and images that were stored on the PC. Fortunately, there was room, but I didn’t want all that stuff on my phone. Do you have any suggestions? Thanks for the question, Rileigh. The same thing happened to me, and I figured that Windows Media Player (WMP) was automatically syncing to the device, but saw no obvious way to correct the issue, so I went online. As it turns out, there’s an easy fix. Just click the Sync button in WMP and, from the device menu, click Advanced Options (the device must be connected).
In the device Properties dialog box, uncheck the box beside Start sync when device connects.
In the future, if you want to sync your device, just click the Start Sync button in WMP.
It’s as simple as that. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have some files to delete from my phone. ~Kevin Click here to rate this tip | Printer friendly version Do you have a question for us? Ask it here! How to Edit or Add Android APN and Access Point Settings An Android phone depends a lot on the Internet to make maximum use of its features. Connecting to the Internet is easy, as it only requires access point settings from your mobile network operator. Generally, the network supplies APN settings automatically. However, if you want to change your APN, there is an option to do that too. Today, we are going to see how to set access point values in any Android phone. Every Android phone has a slightly different menu style and look to the user-interface. In that case, you have to look for the relevant name of the utility. Step 1: Go to your application menu, which lists all the applications. From there, select Settings or the application that appears as the settings utility for your phone, as shown below.

Of course you have them in your address book, but wouldn’t it be cool to have a desktop shortcut for them? Double-click and you’ll get a message window from your default email client (Outlook, Outlook Express, Thunderbird) ready for your message. This doesn’t work with web based email: Yahoo, MSN/Hotmail, AOL. Right-click the desktop and choose New/Shortcut. The New Shortcut Wizard will guide you through the process.

I have a real weakness for cupcakes. They’re just the perfect portion of cake for me. When I was growing up my mom would make us birthday cakes from scratch, frosting and all, but the slices were always too big and I couldn’t finish them in one sitting.

Now that I’m off having my own culinary adventures, cupcakes are a favorite of mine to make to try new flavors and combinations, so when I discovered this site – it was like I died and went to cupcake heaven! The site is easy to navigate because it is setup blog style. Just scroll down the page and view one amazing cupcake recipe after another. There are so many I want to try out!

Even MORE Programs to Make Your PC Lightning Fast! You didn't think that was it, did you? There's lots more!

That's right - these nightlights AUTOMATICALLY turn on when you're walking by, illuminating your path and eliminating the risk of tripping or, even worse, falling down the steps. Or running into something face first.
Easy to Operate: there's a switch on the side giving you three options. You can set it on "Auto" and it'll work just like described above: turn on when it senses movement, and off automatically. 
This is perfect if you have a power outage, think about it! Walk over to your light (you know, the LED one that automatically turns itself on when it sees you coming), and simply pull it from it's mount. Now you're walking around with a 4 LED flashlight!
That is correct. As you can see in the video AND in the images, the back of this thing gives you two options, and they're both easy. Only difference is, one's permanent and the other is not. Check this out:
