Q:
You've gone over how to create a shutdown shortcut for both Windows XP and Vista, but what about a restart shortcut? Is it possible to make one of those too?

A:
Oooh, great question! First of all, you're absolutely right. In recent newsletters, we here at WorldStart have told you how to create a shortcut to shut propecia and shedding down your Windows XP or Windows Vista computer. If you happened to miss out on those two tips, you can read here for XP and here for Vista. Both have similar instructions, but it's very important to follow along with the directions for the operating system you use. Otherwise, who knows what you might create!

Now, since you now know how to quickly shut your computer down, wouldn't it be nice to be able to restart it just as fast? You know, maybe your computer froze up on you and you need a speedy escape route. Or, perhaps you're just trying to restart your computer after a program install. Either way, there is, in fact, an easy way to create a restart shortcut for your computer as well. I'll go over the directions for XP first and then move on to Vista.

In Windows XP, right click on your desktop and go to New, Shortcut. In the wizard box for "Type the location of the item," enter this in: %windir%\System32\shutdown.exe -r. (It may be best to copy and paste that into the box to make sure you have it correct). Click Next when you're done and then Finish to complete the process.

In Windows Vista, right click on your desktop and go to New, Shortcut. You will then see the New Shortcut wizard pop up on your screen. The first box will ask you for the location of your shortcut. In the box, type "shutdown.exe -r -t 01" (without the quotations). Then just simply hit the Next button to finish out the process.

No matter which operating system you use, you will now see a new icon on your desktop and you can test it out by double clicking on it. Once you do, your computer will restart for you, just like it would if you went to Start, Restart. You can also rename your shortcut by right clicking on it and choosing Rename. You can name it whatever you'd like. I went the simple route and named mine "Restart," but I'm sure you can come up with something a little more clever!

Either way, you now have a restart shortcut for your computer, just like you wanted. I bet your computer has the fastest shutdown and restart times in town and I don't know about you, but I don't think it gets any better than that!

I love to find lyrics to songs I like. I feel I can get a better understanding of the song or I can double check a lyric to make sure I heard it right. But the one thing I have always hated about lyric Web sites is all the pop ups you have to wade through. Well, not anymore. Now, there's lyricsfly!

And as far as lyric sites go, let me tell you, I’m in love! Not only can you search by Artist, Song, Album or Lyrics, but you can submit lyrics, correct lyrics and so much more.

You all know I love Charlotte Martin, so the first thing I did was an Artist search to see if any of her songs' lyrics made it on the site. I was happy to find Wild Horses.

On the page with the lyrics, you’ll find propecia and receding hairline that you can Print, E-mail, Correct and even Delete the lyrics. You will also find that they list similar artists and sometimes, there will even be an MP3 file you can listen to.

Under the Info tab, you’ll learn about ways to better search for the lyrics you're looking for. You will also find information about the Web site and its goals.

I come from a family where it's very hard to impress them with my artsy pictures. One of the few exceptions happened recently when my sister commented that a series of water shots I had shown her looked like paintings. That was close enough to a compliment for me!

What she was responding to was one of my favorite types of photographs: slow motion water. Those images are created by finding a nice composition with running water and then forcing propecia and generic the camera's shutter to stay open for a second or two, creating a soft, flowing effect of the water, while all of the other elements in the scene stay nice and sharp.

You can create a painting effect with moving water by mounting your camera on a tripod and slowing the shutter speed to an exposure of one second or longer.

You'll need a tripod to steady the camera during the long exposure and you should probably use the self-timer to trip the shutter. If your camera has an aperture priority setting, use it and set it to f-8, f-11 or f-16, if possible. That will give you greater depth of field and cause the shutter to slow down.

Ideally, you'll want an exposure of one second or longer to create a flowing effect of the water. That means you'll probably want to look for streams and waterfalls that are in the shade instead of bright sunlight. Another trick is to use your sunglasses over the lens to darken the scene and create an even longer exposure. Plus, you get the added bonus of eliminating distracting reflections from your composition. Happy shooting!

Okay, so maybe permanent isn't the best word to describe this, but would you settle for a default setting?

Do you find you're constantly making changes to the Page Setup information in MS Word?

Are those changes the same each time?

Maybe you don't agree with the default margins or perhaps you're always making adjustments to the header/footer settings.

Whatever changes you frequently make, I bet you'd really like it if Word would propecia and ed just cooperate and keep those changes. I mean, wouldn't it be nice if you could cut out the repetitious work of making the same changes every time you start a new document?

Yes, I agree!

The key to making that wish come true has been right in front of you the whole time.

Take a look in the bottom left hand corner of the Page Setup dialogue window (File menu, Page Setup choice):

I love discovering new music. I get so excited when I find a new artist I like and now, I have an even easier way to do so!

To save your preferences as you listen, you’ll need to register. It’s free and very easy to do. Just click on the JoinStumbleAudio link at the top of the page. Fill out the form and you’re good to go!

I started by typing in the name of an artist I like in the search engine at the top of the page. I typed in Charlotte Martin. It found 245 similar artists that I could listen to. On the left side of the page, you’ll have a selection of artists to choose from. Simply click on one to hear them.

It will load the album in the middle of the page and the track will automatically play when it's done loading. Beneath that, you’ll see a Thumb Up and a Thumb Down button. Those let you select whether you liked what you heard or hated it.

Next to that is a Share button, which allows you to share the track with your friends and family by propecia and conception automatically copying the track’s URL to your clipboard. Just go to your e-mail and paste it in the text field. Then just address the e-mail to as many of your friends and family as you want.

Then there's the Stumble button. Clicking on that will let you discover music at random. As you rate songs with the Thumb Up and Thumb Down buttons, it will start to hone the music you hear to your preferences. The more you rate, the smarter it gets about what you like.

That’s why I recommend starting off with an artist you already know you like. But, if you’d rather, you’ll notice on the main page, there's a listing of music categories. You can also pick one of those and then Stumble from there.

The thing I love the most is I don’t have to listen to a track I don't like if I don't want to. I can just click on the Thumb Down button and move along, either by clicking on the Stumble button or by putting in a different artist and listening to something else.

This is an excellent way to discover music. You get to listen to full tracks, share the ones you like with your friends and best of all, it’s free. Check it out today!
