MORE INFORMATION
SYMPTOMS
When you use your address book to select recipients for an e-mail message or a fax message in Microsoft Outlook, information from your Contacts folder does not appear in the list.

CAUSE
This behavior occurs because Outlook requires that you complete the following steps before your contact information is available for you to address messages by using your address book: • Install the Outlook Address Book service. 
• Mark your contact folder for use with your address book. 
• Specify either an e-mail address or a fax number for each item that you want to appear when you address messages.

MORE INFORMATION
Outlook allows any contact folder to be used by the address book, not just the primary Contacts folder. For example, if you create a new folder of contacts called "Friends" (without the quotation marks), you can specify that the contacts in the Friends folder also appear in your address book. To do this, follow the steps that are described in the "Resolution" section.

The Contact folders appear in your address book as subcategories of an entry that is called Outlook Address Book. If you click Outlook Address Book instead of clicking one of the folder names, you do not see any contact information. To see the contact information, you must click the specific folder name that contains the contact.

Show Some Personality

To begin, I just want to say that portrait photography goes beyond photography! It’s all about judging a perfect stranger and coming to terms with what he or she best symbolizes. It could be haughtiness, confidence, innocence, etc. But the real question is: how do you capture those traits in a photograph? Well, keep reading and you might just find out!

Bring Out Their Personality

Simply put, watch your subjects. Watch their mannerisms, their body language, the way they speak and the way they express their emotions. Who knows, maybe it’s their perfect front teeth that could prompt you to take their smiling photo. Perhaps it’s their serious look that adds many more layers of wisdom to their persona. Or, maybe it’s their ability to make faces that take your portrait photography to a whole new level. But, no matter which way you look at it, capturing what makes them tick should be your goal. And here's how you can detect that!

Alone Time

This one works all the time! Give your subjects some alone time. Ask them to continue what they're doing, whether it be issuing orders to their co-workers or gardening at home. Just observe their movements and be ready to capture them at a moment’s notice and without the subject’s knowledge. That can be achieved by telling the subject you're doing some "test shots" to check the lighting, mood and so on. By saying that, you remove the subject’s anxiety toward the photo shoot and they will act more like themselves.

Be Patient

It’s important to get to know your subjects before you embark on capturing their personality on your memory card. That's why it’s best to set aside considerably more time for the shoot than what you had originally intended. The success of portrait photography lies within being patient and investigating the subject a lot more. Once you know what the subject’s traits are, the shoot is as good as done.

So, how do you investigate? It's simply done by asking questions and being straight forward. It also helps if you try to be genuinely interested in who they are. If you take the time to ask about their likes and dislikes, chances are, your subject will open up much more. You'll then be able to get a better feel for who they are as a person. Once you do that, your pictures will speak for themselves!

Know the Details

"God is in the details." That old saying works well with portrait photography as well. It’s important to observe the subject to be able to focus in on things they are good at. Does your subject sneeze female viagra sildenafil often? Do they photograph better on one side as opposed to the other? Do they twitch a lot? Do they have to keep adjusting their glasses? Do they hate sunlight? Are they more at home with nature or with gadgets? Those are just a few examples of the little tendencies you can see in your subject that will help you decide what best suits their persona.

Be Friendly

There's nothing like breaking the ice and getting to know your subject better. Observing them and asking them a few questions might get you answers, but you still may not be able to capture a Kodak moment. For that to happen, you need to gain your subject's respect. You need to guide them through the emotions you want to capture with your conversation by talking to them, making them laugh and essentially, making them be themselves. Once you establish that rapport, you will come away with tons of great pictures. It could be the wry smile, the casual glance, the contemplative profile, the creased forehead, the sparkling eyes, the terse lips, the animated face and so on. But, if the subject doesn’t know you, they will be stiff as a collar and you will end up with photographs that don't represent them at all.

Here's to letting a little personality shine through in your photos!

Turn off the CD AutoRun feature in Windows XP

Q:
How do you turn off the CD AutoRun feature in Windows XP? I see a tip on it for Windows 98 and ME, but what about XP? Please help!

A:
It's time to get back to the basics! You're right, we have done a tip on how to turn off the AutoRun feature in Windows 98 and ME and if you're interested in that, you can read female viagra does it work title=”http://www.worldstart.com/tips/tips.php/1347″>here. But, if you're an XP user, please keep reading!

In case I've already lost you, let me first explain what AutoRun really is. Basically, AutoRun works with your computer's CD ROM drive. When you insert a CD into the drive and you close the drive tray, your CD usually starts up on its own. Hence the name AutoRun! But what if you don't want it to do that? What if you just want the CD to sit there until you pick the program you want to open it up in? Does that sound like a better deal to you? Otherwise, the CD may open in a different program than you want and then you have to go through the process of stopping it, opening up the other program, starting it again, etc, etc. It's just not worth all of that sometimes! So, instead, you can turn off the AutoRun feature and do things the way you want them done. Let's see how!

Okay, now that we have that out of the way, here's how you can turn the AutoRun feature off in Windows XP. Please keep in mind that this tip works with your Registry Editor and you should only do this if you're 100 percent sure you can handle it. If not, please find some help. Here we go!

1.) Go to Start, Run and type in "regedit" (without the quotes). Click OK.

2.) Once you're there, double click on the entry that says HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE.

3.) Next, double click on SYSTEM, then CurrentControlSet, then Services and finally Cdrom. That will bring up some text on your right hand side panel.

4.) Find the entry that says AutoRun and double click on it. You will then see the value data for the AutoRun. It will probably have the number 1 entered in, so go ahead and erase that and replace it with 0 (zero). Click OK.

5.) Now, just restart your computer and you'll be all set!

That wasn't too painful, was it?! So, from now on, when you use a CD in your computer, you can choose what you want it to do next. It all lies in your hands now!
