Gasoline prices, as you know, are on the way back up. The station I usually go to is at $1.79 now.

Gasoline prices going back up
Tuesday, January 20th, 2009Windows SIG for 2-3-2009
Saturday, January 17th, 2009For the Windows SIG on 2-3-2009 I will be presenting a program called Taskbar Shuffle. This program can be used to shuffle the icons on the task bar. In other words, change the order on the task bar. For example, if you always want your icon for OE on the left side of the task bar and the program closes for some reason, when you reopen it, by default it will be on the right. This program can be downloaded from http://www.snapfiles.com/get/TaskbarShuffle.html
Windows Update
Wednesday, January 7th, 2009I tried to use Windows Update (WU) this last weekend to install Vista SP1 on my PC. Got error 80072F78. When I googled the error message the responses I read suggested that either the date and time were off; not the case; or that I should shutdown any unnecessary processes running in the background. I don’t want to shut down my firewall or AV programs. I will just try redownloading the update again and see what happens. – The error message changed to 80200010 – The web suggests deactivating all of “Norton” type products. Again, I don’t want to shut down certain programs. – The third time appears to have been the charm. SP1 is now loaded and everything ‘appears’ to be working fine. – Update, the Search function seems to be missing from the start menu, but since it is in several other locations that is not an issue.
Windows SIG for 01-06-2009
Thursday, January 1st, 2009For the Windows SIG for the GTBPCUG, on 1-6-2009, I will present a program called Easy Duplicate Finder. This program is designed to allow a user to find duplicates files; by content not just by name. You can then choose to delete all of them or only selected files. Other features include exclusion of system files and folders, as well as filtering by file mask and size. You can also move or rename selected files. Anyone who wants to download this program, can do so at http://www.snapfiles.com/download/dleasydupfinder.html
