Every time I close a Tab I have to reload the page. Sure, John – if you're using Internet Explorer, then yes, there is a way! Click on the gear in the upper right-hand corner and select Internet Options. Make sure you're on the General tab, and next to the Tabs field, click Settings. Now, just un-check Enable tabbed browsing and click OK at the bottom. You're all set – no more tabbed browsing in IE. You can always re-follow these steps and put a check back in if you want to restore this function. ~Andrew Click here to rate this tip | Printer friendly version

Better act fast - this is only good for today! http://store.worldstart.com/product/7777 PS: This offer will NOT be available after Monday - don't miss your chance FACT: 100% Of All Hard Drives Fail! FACT: It's Not A Matter Of "IF" Your Drive Will Fail- It's a Matter Of "When"! FACT: In The US Alone, Over 20 MILLION People Will Have A Hard Drive Crash This Year! FACT: 110 MILLION Will Lose Data To Malware & Viruses! Well - Now YOU DO! FACT: When Your Drive Fails, You Only Have Three Choices: 1. Restore Your Backup "There are two kinds of computer users in this world - Those who have lost data and those who will!" Let's face it - we REALLY rely on our computers. We keep our irreplaceable photos, videos, documents, and music right there on our PCs. However, a staggering 76% of us do NOT back up as often as we should! That's Texas Chain Saw Massacre scary if you ask me! Think that's bad? Get this - 43% of people polled admitted they've lost data from their hard drive - over the course of just ONE year! That's nearly HALF of all computer users!! "Sorry about our wedding photos hun..., Oh, and can I have $1000 to replace the iTunes library?" Take cover - we're talking the black Plague of the digital age! What's even MORE outrageous is that it's SOOOOO easy to keep your irreplaceable files, photos, and music safe and sound! A good backup program is ALL you need! I think the reason people don't worry about backups enough is we're all WAY too accustomed to things coming in a physical form. I mean, think about it - used to be we had things like CDs, photo negatives (and prints), and actual paper documents. Those days are fading fast! Just look at digital photos - over 80% of the households in the US now own a digital camera. Around 90% of us keep digital photos on our computers - either from our cameras or from images sent by friends and family. What happens when there's a problem? Will years of your family history simply be wiped out due to a crash or virus? Too bad about little Timmy's first 5 years huh?
What about music? Over 70% of us keep music on our computers. If you purchased that music online, you know that if you lose it, it's gone forever! You'll have to repurchase everything- and THAT gets expensive quick! Hey, even if you only copied CDs - do you really want to go through that hassle again??? Then of course there are all the important documents, favorite web sites, spreadsheets, tax forms, financial files, etc that we've accumulated over the years. Just how many countless hours do you have invested in creating those files? Are you willing to lose it all - right now - and start from scratch? I didn't think so! So why isn't everyone a backup fanatic? When asked, most people will cite one of two reasons for NOT doing backups - either they are too much of a hassle, or they simply have no idea how to do it. Don't fall into the "I'll get around to it" trap! The backup you're planning to make tomorrow won't help you one little bit when your computer crashes today. Well, the program we're featuring solves BOTH the problems above with ease AND for $8.97 it's something everyone can afford. Finally! (Note - this is a one time software purchase, not a monthly fee like many online backup services) Of course, just any old backup software won't do - you need something that will actually work WITH you to take ALL the hassle out of doing your regular backups - and we have just the program! It's called, appropriately enough, Save My Files, and you are absolutely gonna love this easy to use file backup program! First off, let's take a peek at all the cool features: A Full Backup does just what it sounds like - backs up EVERY file you tell it to. Now, that alone would usually be enough, but this program cranks it up to the next level by offering time saving Incremental Backups as well! Incremental Backups are backups you do AFTER you've completed a full backup. Check it out - This type of "smart backup" looks at your current archive and ONLY copies files that are either new or updated! It leaves the stuff that's not changed alone! Bottom line - You don't have to wait an hour (or hours) for a backup job to complete! Once the initial full backup job is done, the incremental backups are VERY fast (usually less than a minute)! If disaster strikes, you still have ALL your old files, so nothing to lose and mountains of time to gain. I LOVE incremental backups - and YOU will too! For example, let's say you wanted to backup all your pictures. Just select the option for "Photos", and let it go to work. In a blink of an eye the program starts scouring your hard drive for photos. It checks all over - heck it may find photos you didn't know you had! Again - YOU don't need to know where all the files actually are - this finds and backs them up automatically! How cool is that? You can even specify file types, so if you have some proprietarily format, it can automatically find those files too! Now THAT'S a KILLER feature! You'll never need to worry about someone getting at your sensitive information just because they found the CD you keep your backup on. Nice! Here's the thing - what if you do a backup and then lose the backup software? How can you get your files OUT of the compressed backup file? Yikes! Ahh, no worries - this software stores your files in a standard ZIP file that can be opened via Windows (Note - it WILL prompt you for your password if you choose to encrypt and protect the file). Oh - and don't forget - with ZIP format, you're compressing everything! Awesome - Your backups won't take up gobs of space!! You can select ANY folder on your hard drive and it will back it up for you! Whew - that's quite a list, and it doesn't even HINT at how incredibly easy this software is to use! Backing up is just a matter of running the program and telling it what you want to save! A few mouse clicks and you're good to go! Don't believe me? Check out out video demonstration and I'll prove it! Now, here's the really cool thing - after you do your initial backup, all you need to do for future backups is run the program and tell it to use your existing backup job! Talk about a time saver! Plus, this lets you create MULTIPLE backups too! You could have several backup files - one for pictures, one for business, one for music - or lump them all together - it's totally up to you! WOW - there's a LOT to this software, but I think you get the idea - it makes doing your regular backups SUPER easy! The program is basic enough for anyone to use but still has enough options for advanced users - what more could you want?
Oh, yeah, the deal - we're talking just $8.97 and US shipping is FREE! That's got to be one of the best deals in the history of the PC - Heck most backup programs go for a MINIMUM of $50! RUN to the site and grab your before they're gone! This was a VERY limited time offer and we can't guarantee how long this software is going to last - especially for this crazy low price! http://store.worldstart.com/product/6456 PS - Right this very second, a hard drive is failing or a virus is destroying data - you could be next! Remember, there's a 43% chance that YOU will lose data this year! Don't take a risk - grab this amazing, easy to use backup software today and make sure you data is SAFE!
Charles from AR writes: Why is it that sometimes you need to use www when going to a web site and on others you have to leave off the www? Hi, Charles – thanks for the question! In short, a website name is converted using a DNS (Domain Name System) server which translates www.worldstart.com into a series of numbers called an IP address. This address tells your Internet connection where on the Internet the website can be found. However, some website DNS records are configured to allow you to type either www.website.com or just website.com, while others are configured that only www.website.com will go to the website. Hope this helps!

Any ideas? Hi, Dave. What it sounds like to me is that you don't have enough free space on your drive to defrag. A general rule is that about 15% free disc space is required. Here's how you can check your hard drive's free space in Windows 7… if you have a "Computer" icon on your desktop, double-click it. If you don't, then click "Start" and then "Computer". What comes up should look like this: In this example, I have about 30% of my hard drive or a little less free. The next thing that you'll want to do is clean up some space on your hard drive. The easiest way that I know to do this is to use the Windows disc clean up utility. You find that by clicking "start", and entering "cleanup" in the search box. It should populate before you've got the whole word in. In this case, I entered "cle" into the search box and "disc cleanup" popped up as the second option. It will ask you which drive you want to clean, and your option (probably the default) will be C:. It will calculate how much space you can free up. Next, a window will pop that asks what files you want cleaned up. Some will be checked by default. You can see from the example that I've been somewhat lazy about cleaning my recycle bin. So choose which files you want it to clean. If you don't know what it does, don't clean it. Typically, whatever the default is plus your recycle bin will be plenty. Once you've done that, click "ok". A verification window will come up asking if you're sure. Tell it that you are, and the cleanup will proceed. If this doesn't free up enough space, it might be time to start deleting stuff from your hard drive. When I had a much smaller hard drive than I do now, I found it easiest to move my documents off onto a removable drive, and just start using that drive to store my documents. You should be able to pick up a portable 750 gig or 1 terabyte hard drive for $100 or less. Once you've freed up the space, try your defrag again. Hope that this helps! ~Randal Schaffer Click here to rate this tip | Printer friendly version Do you have a question for us? Ask it here!

I downloaded six video converter programs that only deal with videos that are already on the computer. I need free software that will capture the video on my VHS tape and move it into my computer. Do you know of a freebie to capture video from my VHS player? Hi, Jack. The quick answer to this is "no, I personally don't know of a freebie that will do what you want". The primary reason for that, however, is that most freebies are trial versions of a full program, and will typically only encode about twenty minutes of video before they require you to pay for the full version. I downloaded a freebie video converter once that converted 2 minutes of the video, and then wouldn't allow me to even watch that. Read the whole tip over at Worldstart!
