Web Page Printing Orphans in Windows 98!
I think all of us have printed out a web page to read or share and
we've all ended up with an extra page printed with just a footer
on it or even blank. An annoying waste of paper, but there's a
simple solution.
Assuming that the web page is relatively short all you need to do
is choose to only print one page. In Internet Explorer choose File
| Print ... then instead of All pages, click on the Pages: radio
button (the default setting is one page only).
Click Print and only the first printed page worth of the web page
will come out.
If you're not sure how many pages you want printed, choose File |
Print Preview, with some practice you'll become pretty good at
judging how many printed pages you want.
Alternatives for saving paper depend on the ability of your
printer. You could choose double-sided printing or multiple pages
per sheet if available - check File | Print | Preferences to see
what's available.
Viewing the Scheduled Tasks icon in Windows ME!
Unlike Windows 98, Windows Me doesn't display the Scheduled Tasks
icon in the System Tray by default. If you'd like to be reminded
of your scheduled tasks by having this icon in your Windows Me
System Tray, follow this simple registry-editing procedure.
Open the registry by typing regedit in the Run dialog box's Open
text box. Then, navigate to
HKEY_Local_MachineSoftwareMicrosoftPlus!System Agent. Right-click
in the right pane of the windows and choose New | DWORD Value.
Name the new value EnableTrayIcon and press [Enter]. Then,
double-click on the value to open the Edit DWORD Value dialog box,
and in the Value Data text box, type 1. Exit the registry and
reboot Windows. The Scheduled Tasks icon should now appear in the
System Tray.
Take advantage of the Show In Groups view in Windows XP!
If you're Windows XP system stores a significant number of data
files, chances are good that you're using Windows Explorer's
Details view to help sort through all of the files.
While the Details view is a great way to look at your data files,
Windows XP offers another view that, in many circumstances, can
make it even easier to manage your collection of data files: the
Show In Groups view.
To enable the Show In Groups view, follow these steps:
1. Launch Windows Explorer.
2. Go to View | Arrange Icons By | Show In Groups.
This view setting divides Windows Explorer's displays into
sections with headers that correspond to the sort option that
you've selected. For example, if you've sorted files by Name, XP
will group them alphabetically by letter. If you've sorted files
by Date Modified, XP will group them by time, such as Yesterday,
Earlier This Week, Last Week, etc. You can easily change the group
sort order by clicking a different column header.
