Guard Bar is a toolbar add-on for Internet
Explorer, that eliminates pop-up ads and also prevents spyware or
adware from being installed while you are surfing.
In addition, it can clean cookies, browser cache and history
entries, and even includes a small weather icon that displays the
current temperature and conditions for your zip code.
Guard Bar also offers an integrated search feature for Google,
Yahoo, MSN, AOL, and Lycos.
USAPhotoMaps downloads USGS (United States Geodedic Survey) aerial
photos from terraserver.microsoft.com and creates scrollable,
zoomable, GPS-enabled maps from them.
It offers special support for garmin GPS owners and and option to
connect the GPS to the application in order to retrieve aerial
photographs of the current location.
The program works fine, even if you don t have a GPS, all you need
to do is enter the Langitude and Laditude numbers of the location
that you want to view. (You can find these numbers at
mapblast.com). The photos are not live views, but are archived and
usually about 5 years old.
Those of you that have a dozen
system tray programs will like this little tool - it will manage
the execution of programs that are automatically started by the
operating system at logon time.
Rather than starting everything at once, StartRight will set a
delay between each program launch, allowing Windows to load faster
and more efficient.
The program will automatically configure all startup programs, so
if you are a novice user, there is nothing for you to configure.
Advanced users can optionally edit the startup order or exclude
certain programs from the delayed start. StartRight supports your
common startup folder entries as well as registry runkey items. All
original settings can be restored to their previous state by
clicking the restore button.
Question: There are several webpages I like to
go to when I first start up...is there a way to make them all
open?
Answer: Absolutely -
All you need to do is drop some shortcuts into your Startup Folder
. Here's how:
1. First, open Internet Explorer
(this trick can be done with Netscape too, but it works better with
Explorer) and head to a page you want to see when your computer
starts.
2. Next, grab the little " e " next
to the address and drag it over to the Start button. Don't let go,
just hover over the button for a couple seconds. The Start menu
should open.
3. Now, (still holding the mouse
button down), move up to the Programs menu. The Programs menu
should open.
4. Finally, move your mouse to the
Startup folder (it will be underlined). Again, point to it for a
second and it should open up. Drop the shortcut into it and you're
all set. Make sure you drop the shortcut into the Startup Menu and
NOT into the Programs menu by accident.
Oh, you can use this for your e-mail
program too. Let's say you're using Outlook Express. This time,
drag the icon with your RIGHT mouse button and follow the procedure
above. When you let go of the icon to drop it into the start menu,
be sure to click " copy here " from the little menu that pops
up.
If you were to left-click and drag
it, it would remove the icon from its current location and move it
to your Startup folder. Hence, the right-click drag.
That's it. Restart your computer and
your browser should launch, opening all the stuff you just put into
the Startup menu.
I want to mention that this works
better for those with an "always on" type internet connection. When
Windows starts, you're already online so you really get the benefit
of this little trick.
If you have a regular dial-up
connection, that works too - just not quite as well. Ideally, your
dial up connection should be set to automatically dial, that way
when you start the computer, it automatically dials and loads the
pages for you.
