How to install Windows~Me without a previous OS installed tip:
By Raymond, WenTechGeek.com -

Yes you can install Windows~Me without having a previous operating system installed.

1. You need to have a pervious Windows version's CD available.

2. You need to copy the Windows Me source files to the hard drive and installing from your hard drive is
recommended.

3. When you are prompted for a previous operating system, simply insert your Windows95/98 CD and browse to the directory where the source files are located.

4. You can then continue installing on a clean system without having to install a previous version.

5. This should save a you lot of time in the event you need to reinstall Windows Me from scratch.

 


 

You can add live Web content to your desktop:
By Raymond, WebTechGeek.com

Want to add some "live" content from the Internet to your desktop? Maybe a stock ticker or up-to-the-minute news headlines? The Active Desktop interface in Windows Me can do it. The desktop item will be automatically updated periodically to provide you with the latest information.

Here's how:

Right-click the desktop, point to Active Desktop, and then click Customize My Desktop.
Make sure Show Web content on my Active Desktop is selected, and then click New.
Now to add content, type a URL into the Location field, Browse to find a picture or HTML document, or click the Visit Gallery button to connect to the Microsoft Active Desktop Gallery on the Internet.
Click OK and then OK again.

 


 

Temporarily Turn off Startup
By Raymond WebTechGeek

You may have some programs that you'd sometimes like to run as part of your Startup group, but not always. A handy solution is to put the shortcuts to these programs in a separate StartUp.Not folder beneath the C:\Windows\Start Menu\Programs folder (see Figure 3-4). You can then easily drag the shortcuts from the StartUp.Not subfolder to the regular Startup folder when you want to recommence running the applications at startup time.

You can also keep Windows from loading the Startup group at all by holding down the Shift key during the Windows phase of the bootup process.

 


 

The Windows Startup Menu
By Raymond - WebTechGeek

The Windows Startup menu (shown earlier) gives you a set of choices regarding how your computer starts before Io.sys carries out its default commands. Io.sys reads Msdos.sys before the Startup menu appears.

Normal > Starts Windows.

Logged > Same as Normal, but writes out the file Bootlog.txt, which tracks the load and startup sequence.

Safe Mode > Starts Windows in Safe mode. Safe mode is a generic Windows startup with VGA graphics, but no networking.

Step-by-Step Confirmation > Same as Shift+F8. Ask for confirmation before carrying out each command from Io.sys. Helps to isolate trouble.

 



 

You can Customize the Windows Media Player screen:
By Raymond, WebTechGeek.com

You can specify the media information you'd like to see on your screen. Choose a graphic equalizer, captions, information about the media you’re listening to, or video setting controls.

Go to the View menu, point to Now Playing Tools.
Point to the options you would like to see or hide. You can even choose to hide everything except the visualization, which will expand to fill the available space on your screen. If you don't like Windows Media Player, try WINAMP or more here.

 


 

You can close several programs at once:
By Raymond, WebTechGeek.com

Ever get in a hurry and suddenly need to close multiple programs and windows all at once? Yes.

Here's a real cool trick for getting that done fast!

Choose the programs and documents you want to close by holding down the CTRL key while you click each item's button on the taskbar. Right-click one of the selected buttons, and then click Close.

 


 

You can add Image Preview to any folder:
By Raymond, WebTechGeek.com

If you choose to store your pictures in a folder other than the My Pictures folder, you can turn on Image Preview to preview your pictures.

* On your desktop, click My Computer.
* Now click the disk drive where your pictures are located, and then click the folder that contains your pictures.
* Click the View menu, and then click Customize This Folder.
* In the Customize This Folder Wizard, click Next, select Choose or edit an HTML template for this folder, and then click Next again.
* Select Image Preview, click Next, and then click Finish.

 


 

Here's how to reveal more information about your CPU:
By Raymond, WebTechGeek.com

To reveal a little bit more information on your CPU, we've found this neat little trick (for Intel-based machines).

You starts with opening your Registry key using Regedit. Here's how:

On the Start menu, click Run.
Type REGEDIT and then click OK.
Follow this path: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Hardware\Description\System\CentralProcessor\0.
Click VendorIdentifier and put a space between "Genuine" and "Intel" and then close Regedit.
Right-click the My Computer icon, and then click Properties.

There is now a bit more information about your computer listed underneath the 'Genuine Intel' line. You'll see that your CPU comes from the "x86 Family A Model B Stepping (version) C," where A, B, and C represent the appropriate values in your system. This same information is now available in the Identifier line on the path, two rows above in the Registry. When you restart Windows Me, the default information will be restored.

 


 

How to Change Windows Startup Graphic:
By Raymond, WebTechGeek.com

Before your computer displays the Windows Desktop, you're treated to an animated (640 x 400) Microsoft Windows advertisement. This graphic is embedded in the Io.sys file in your root directory, and is easy to change. more here!

 


 

Print Fast - Create a printer shortcut:
By Raymond, WebTechGeek.com

Did you know you can give yourself fast, drag-and-drop access to initiating a print job by creating a printer shortcut on your desktop.

Here's how:

Go to the Start button and click on it, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel.
Click and drag the Printers icon to your desktop, and then click Yes.
Now when you want to print a file, drag it onto your new printer shortcut, and the print job will begin immediately.
