“Learning to ignore things is one of the great paths to inner peace.” -- Robert J. Sawyer helpful and more in line with your criticism “Just another example of Dargaville people being unable to work together. Very sad. ” I found the exact opposite – The community spirit of those who contributed photos, commentary and other services and who simply jumped in and helped where they could, to produce this brochure was exactly what any community would be proud to call their own. The young lady who contributed the cover photo received a standing ovation among many of the other contributors. Most photo contributors wanted to stay anonymous, however, for copyright it was felt best to identify their contributions. There is so much of a positive nature with every aspect of the brochure that I invite community members to get a copy (iSite in Murdock St or library) and see for themselves just what our community can produce. Sure there are always things that can be learnt; I’m sure that whoever volunteers to help produce the next brochure will take some of the points mentioned into consideration and create an even better community brochure. However, for my part – I challenge anyone to come up with a better local brochure.

Don’t just maximize your windows—go full screen When you need a really big window for viewing photos and videos, don’t just maximize it: go full screen! This tip works great for viewing photos and videos at maximum size in Windows Explorer or Windows Media Player, utilizing screen space usually occupied by the header at the top of the screen and the taskbar at the bottom. Here’s how: Open any photo in Windows Explorer, or open a photo or video clip in Windows Media Player. Do one of the following: In Windows 7 and Windows XP, click the F11 key at the top of your keyboard. The photo or video image enlarges to its maximum size and the title bar and taskbar are hidden. To undo full-screen mode and restore the window to its normal view, press the Esc (Escape) key at the top of your keyboard Pin a program or items to the Windows 7 taskbar You know what would make a great taskbar? One where you could pin your favorite applications or files so that you could open them quickly from any window at any time. Guess what? You can. In Windows 7, you can also pin shortcuts FL Computers. Dargaville Four Square Discount Supermarket 111 Victoria Street, Dargaville 0310 Phone: (09) 439 1083 Open 7 Days 122 Victoria Street.

“An expert is a person who has made all the mistakes that can be made in a very narrow field.” -Niels Bohr for favorite or frequently used files, folders, and websites to the Jump Lists for each of those programs to the taskbar. Pin a program to the taskbar To pin a program shortcut to the taskbar, do one of the following: If the program is already running, right-click the program’s button on the taskbar (or drag the button toward the desktop) to open the program’s Jump List, and then click Pin this program to taskbar. Or if the program isn’t running, click Start, find the program’s icon, right-click the icon, and then click Pin to Taskbar. You can also pin a program by dragging the program’s shortcut from the desktop or Start menu to the taskbar. Use the Secret Send To Menu Items When you right-click on any file or folder, you can use the Send To menu to create a zipped version, or send the file to an application, but in Windows 7 there are hidden items on the Send To menu that can’t be seen by default. All you have to do is hold down the Shift key, then right-click on a file and access the Send To folder—you’ll see a whole bunch of new items in the list, like special folders, and even an item for each one of your drives. It’s a really useful tip for quickly sending a file to the flash drive you just plugged into the PC, without having to do anything else. Undo an Accidental File Move or Deletion With the Keyboard Have you ever tried to select a bunch of files while holding the Ctrl key, and then accidentally copied all of them because you slightly moved your mouse? Maybe you just deleted a file and don’t feel like hunting it down in the Recycle bin. In either case, you can use the Ctrl+Z shortcut key to immediately reverse whatever you didn’t mean to do. Readers will probably point out that you can also do this from the context menu in Windows 7, but it’s surprising how many people don’t realize the keyboard shortcut works. Use the Secret Trick to Close Windows Explorer Have you ever wondered how to restart the Start Menu? The more tech-savvy among you probably know that you can just pop open Task Manager and kill the explorer.exe process, but there’s actually another way to do it built right into Windows 7 and Vista—it’s just a bit of a secret. Hold down the Ctrl and Shift keys, then open up the start menu, and right-click anywhere on the blank space. You’ll see a new menu with an Exit Explorer item on it, which will immediately terminate the desktop shell—keep in mind to reopen it you’ll need to use Ctrl+Shift+Esc to open Task Manager, and then File –> Run and type in explorer.exe. That’s not the only right-click menu trick you can do here, however—if you want to open up the Start Menu folder in Windows 7, you can right-click on the All Programs menu item to access the old Start Menu context menu from previous versions of Windows.
