i just read the last Review about Desktop Clutter...
i got a tip put everything thats important Like Word Doc, Excel and Important Documents in one folder in the desktop then Name it like "WORK FILE" or "IMPORTANT FILES"
then run the Desktop Cleaner... this is helpful if you got a gazillion icons sitting in the desktop, go to Display Properties>Desktop Tab>Custom Desktop>General Tab> click Clean Desktop Now Tab, then its easy pickins from there... chose everything you need to delete...

My favorite thing that I've ever came across was Windows PowerToys. Just go to Windows Home Page and search for "powertoys". My favorite one is the ImageResizer tool. No need for a program anymore to resize images, just right-click, choose resize image(s), and choose the dimension you need, or click advanced and type in custom dimensions.

My advice is if you're moving to a computer, get a new Email Client to go with it.

What, such as Ultimate's version of Outlook? Windows mail???

I have windows not a mac or apple, and if you restart you computer and HOLD DOWN F8 you can go into safe boot. Go in and click on the admin side. This helps if you have a limited side and want to make yourself an admin.

Indeed, Safe Mode can be a good tool for troubleshooting problems. I've also had good luck just tapping F8 repeatedly as the computer goes through the POST process and begins loading Windows.
