How do I adjust my monitor's screen size?
When I log into my computer the screen is smaller than the display monitor. I have to manually use the extend arrow to fill the monitor.
Use a Stocking as a Keyboard Cover
I recently bought a new black keyboard and a package of knee-highs. Once the keyboard was connected, the stocking went on. I safety pinned the end so it wouldn't come off. It helps keep the cord out of the way and definitely is keeping things out of the keyboard.
If you have difficulty seeing your monitor, rather than get your reading glasses, hold down the control key with your left hand and with hand on mouse scroll away from you to make the print larger. To make it normal again, scroll toward yourself. This makes life much easier.
This time instead of throwing out the shower liner, I made a dust cover for my keyboard for when it's time to shut down the computer for the night. I measured the length and width of the keyboard and added 3 inches all the way around.
Under Shelf Placemat Holder for Keyboard Tray
Sometimes I like to stow away my keyboard so that I can use my desktop surface for something else. It's generally not a great idea to put things on top of a closed laptop, which is what I had been doing.
Connecting Laptop to Desktop Computer
How can you hookup your lap top with your desk top?
Determining the Date a Site Was Established Using Java Code
If it's a static site, a personal site. Is there any java code we can type into the address bar to get the time that it was established or first updated? I know you can find out when it was last updated. How about first established?
Tired of getting all of those computer cords that come out of the computer mixed up, one for the phone, one for the camera and more? I take single labels and fold them in half over the cord close to the end that goes into my device (camera,etc.) and label it.
Email Documents To Transfer To New Computer
In the process of researching local companies that would come and set-up my new computer, I found that there would an additional charge if I wished them to transfer any of my files from my old computer to the new one.

Inexpensive Mouse Wrist Support
I needed support for my wrist while resting my hand on the desk when I was using the computer mouse. It was getting very uncomfortable while I was reading all the great ideas on Thrifty Fun! I did not want to give that up!
Deleting Temporary Files On Your Computer
Computer slowing down? If you've run Spyware/Trojan programs and cleaned out your 'Cookies, History and Temps' via the Internet Options under Tools in your browser, you might want to verify that the Temp files have been removed.
Using Your TV as a Computer Monitor
I have an Acer Aspire 4315-2490 laptop with an LCD screen which is faulty. I was wondering if I can get some sort of cable or wire or something to plug it into my TV and use the TV as a monitor instead of my faulty screen.
Organizing Extension Cords and Other Wires
I bought a 50 cent tin to match the decor of the room and cut a square hole in the back. We pushed all the phone cord and extra computer line through, hooked it all up, put the lid on the tin and now all the mess is "contained".
Use Old Dresser as a Computer Desk
I decided to decorate the spare bedroom in a "country" theme, but it still needs to house the family computer. I bought an old dresser with one long drawer in the center, and 3 drawers on each side, with the center open for a chair.
Transferring Photos to Another Computer
How do I get pictures that were sent to my email on a different computer?
I designed this one for my daughter's 18th birthday. I googled People magazine covers, downloaded an image as something to go by and reset the magazine using photos of my daughter and my own captions. This was a big hit with everyone and I received numerous requests to do one for other people. Have fun!
It's that time again when we need to be creative about what goes into that Easter Basket so that we don't put our kids on chocolate overload. Personally, I like to put inexpensive toys like crayons and books in their baskets, but recently I was asked by my grandson William if I could get him some coloring pages to color when he had to spend some extended time here.
