Remove The Fluff From Your Web Searches + The Almighty Back Button

Background-less Bing

Microsoft’s Bing search engine has made a name for itself on the Internet, not only by being one of the most used Internet searches, but also by being one of the prettiest. It seems that every time I navigate over, there’s always some new and Interesting background image for me to gawk at.
But maybe you don’t want a background image. Maybe you find it distracting, or all of the fact blocks that pop up are annoying you. Whatever the case, if you want to go to a version of Bing without a background, simply copy and paste this address into your web browser:
www.bing.com/?rb=0
The result looks like this:
If you like it this way, make sure to bookmark Bing with this address and you’ll never have to see a background image again!

SYSTEM MECHANIC: SIMPLY BRILLIANT!
Ok - so now that you're starting to understand just how sweet this program is, I just wanted to share a little secret with you. It has to do with a steep price tag and big box stores...
I was just in Best Buy the other day and look at how much these bad boys retail for!! $50!! Yikes! I can't believe how much everyone else is paying for this program! Is that insane or what?!?!
Yeah, we're selling it for just $12.97! That's 50% Cheaper than you'll find it anywhere else!
Here at Worldstart, we've been running System Mechanic on our computers since it came out...so for the purpose of this review, we used it on a friend's computer. He was STUNNED by how much better his computer immediately started running - and he's a computer whiz!
CHECK IT OUT!
First we install the software and launch the program - it immediately upgrades to the most current version - nice! Next we check out the Dashboard and find all kinds of trouble:
He was IMMEDIATELY worried, until I clicked the REPAIR button and BAM! - it started fixing the problem right away! And by the way, if you aren't worried about a certain repair, you can skip 'em! All you've gotta do is select the ones you want to fix. HELLO CONVENIENCE!
CLICK A BUTTON: FIX EVERYTHING!
Lookin' for EASY? System Mechanic found 26 security issues, over 2000 registry problems, and 5 excess startup programs (the kind that make your computer take forever to boot up). With the click of the "Repair All" button - it immediately began fixing the issues!
My Computer Whiz Friend Was BLOWN AWAY!
OK, this can enhance and upgrade your computer's performance in literally hundreds of ways, so let's break it down.
UNBELIEVABLE SPEED!

Right away, System Mechanic jumps in, digs deep, and ELIMINATES those unnecessary, excess startup programs.

There's NO Such Thing as an Unbootable PC!
The System Mechanic CD is bootable and can be used to start a PC that refuses to boot! Hey, it happens to everyone eventually, but the difference is YOU'LL be able to recover!
ULTRA Privacy AND Protection!
The internet can be a dangerous place. There's dirty hackers out there always looking for new ways to get to innocent computers just like yours! If you have an open vulnerability, even firewall might not save you...but SYSTEM MECHANIC CAN AND WILL!
 First off, it has a ONE BUTTON option for finding and fixing security holes! Just press and it will find - and fix - any problems with your security! 
PROTECT YOUR SENSITIVE FILES!
With the Incinerator, you can destroy those sensitive files without a trace! This amazing program permanently deletes files so that no one - not even a bunch of scientists in white lab coats - can recover 'em!
Pure Customization!
Some programs you just pop in and are forced to run it the way it was programed. Not this one! Sure, you can absolutely run it that way, and it'll work with ease, making your computer WAY better! But if you only want it to do certain things, System Mechanic lets you choose!
 Once you install it, RUN to the Customize Advanced Windows Settings area and get ready to get FLOORED!
Of course, that's only about 7% of what this can do!
Award Winning Software!
Did I mention over 22 MILLION people use this? But hey, they didn't get the deal you're about to!
UNBELIEVABLE PRICE!
Here's the deal - when you install this program, it will update to the newest version automatically! So, we're talking a $50 program!!
Your price? How about just $12.97 with FREE US Shipping? Seriously, this has got to be the best deal in the history of the PC! Don't miss out - for $12.97, you just can't go wrong!
PS - Warning - there's a LIMITED quantity on this one and when it sells out, we-can't-get-anymore - ever.

Computers 101

Marshall in Michigan asks:
How can I make sub folder?
Hello Marshall and thanks for the great question. It is very simple to make sub folders on your Windows 7 computer. You can make sub folders to help you better organize your documents. You can make as many as you wish by performing the following steps. First, let’s create a folder…
Create a folder on the Desktop
First, we will create a folder on your desktop. Minimize all windows that you have open so you can see your desktop.
Right-click on any blank area of your desktop, and then click New. Click Folder from the menu.
Windows 7 will automatically create a new folder and put it on your desktop. The folder will be named “New Folder” automatically.
Rename the folder by clicking on the name and typing a new name for it. Click anywhere outside of the folder and the name is changed.
You can now start using your new folder by putting new files into it. You and drag and drop any file into the new folder.
Create a Sub folder in Windows Explorer Inside other Folders
In most cases, you will want to create sub folders somewhere other than your desktop. You can easily create sub folders in Windows Explorer.
Open Windows Explorer by clicking the Start button, type Windows Explorer in the search bar, and then click on Windows Explorer in the search results.

Navigate to the place where you want to create a subfolder.
Right-click any empty area and select New. Select Folder from the menu. A new folder will automatically appear at the bottom of the list. The default name for the new folder is New Folder. You can easily change this name by clicking on it and then retyping it.
You can also click the New Folder button from the toolbar at the top to create a new subfolder even quicker.
We hope this tip has been helpful for you in creating sub folders on your computer.

MS Office

Undo a Move in Outlook
I don’t know about you, but I tend to go through my e-mail messages and then “sort” them. You know, delete it or move it to some folder or another.

When moving messages, I simply drag and drop them into their new location using the folder list.

The problem is that I inevitably drop some into the wrong location.

Usually I realize it right away, but still have to navigate to a different folder, actually find the message(s) and then put them where they belong – or do I?

It turns out that I don’t actually have to do all of that in MS Outlook.

Tip of the Day

Open Browser Search Results in a New Tab

Okay. About the Back button.
I use it as much as the next person, it’s no big deal. I forget to write something that was on a previous page and need to go Back, I need to check something on a previous page and need to go Back, I feel like wasting time so I just click the Back button – and then the Forward button – and then the Back button for the fun of it…there are many reasons to use the Back button. (Please note that I am only talking about browsers here, like Internet Explorer, Firefox, etc. and not a Windows folder.)
I have no problem with going Back. Except it does get kind of old when I am searching for something. You type in a search term and then you click on a link that interests you. Then you have to go Back to the original search results page.
You click on another link that interests you and then you have to go Back.
You click on another link …You get the picture. Like I said, no big deal. But what if you could have the Search Results right there, so you can click on any result that you like, without having to go Back?
The search engines have made it so that you can have a separate window pop up with the search results so that all you have to do is just go to the other window instead of going Back.

Digital Due Process

As an internet user, I think it is important to be aware of your rights, or the lack thereof when you’re surfing the internet. In 1986 the EPCA (The Electronic Communications Privacy Act) was passed and it was a great forward looking step in the right direction; but now that technology has leaped light years ahead and continues to progress at such a high speed, it is outdated.

In the main section, About the Issue you will learn all about how communication has changed since the act passed. People are using e-mail, mobile phones, social networking, and cloud commuting more than ever before. Each brings with it privacy issues and security issues. You’ll find them outlined for you on the main page, just scroll down. Just below that you’ll find out why the EPCA needs updating specifically because of: unclear and inconsistent rulings, but you’ll also discover what they would like to achieve by reforming it.

Our Principles is a section that goes even further into what they believe the government should be allowed to access and under what circumstances.

Who We Are – this section shows you who has joined the coalition to get the EPCA reformed. I was really happy to find many leaders of the industry listed as a part of this coalition. It is important to me to see that they are out there breaking ground on this issue rather than sitting back on their laurels and waiting for their consumers to do it.

News – this section will keep you up to date with the latest news on the issue.

Check this site out today, it will take maybe ten minutes of your day, but you’ll leave better informed than when you got there.

Storm Warning
I created this image one cold, lonely evening at Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore. The weather forecast was ominous - thunderstorms, 15 foot waves, and a gale warning already in full effect.

I had been out tromping through the snow all morning at a local park and was heading back to the ‘ol truck when I spotted this little gal. She was a bit shy at first, but it didn’t take too long for her to start to get a bit curious about me and come over to investigate. After all, it’s not every day you see... (More)
Sandstone Sentinel
This photo was captured at the very heart of Lower Antelope Canyon near Page, AZ. Our Navajo guide took us down into the canyon and we shot and explored at every turn. I’d been here before, and it was a treat to come back. As we walked along, our hushed voices echoing off the canyon walls, I only half-heartedly listened to our guide. Most of my attention was directed towards the wonderful curves and... (More)
