Clear Your Firefox Downloads List If you're anything like me, you have quite a few files you've downloaded via Firefox. How do I know this? Well, on my computer all I have to do is open up Firefox and click Tools>Downloads and this window pops up. It looks pretty cluttered – and in need of a good clear-out, but I'd still like to keep a few select files listed here, just in case I need to find them at a later date. So, to delete singular downloads from your Firefox queue, simply right-click the download you'd like to delete from the list and select Remove From List. It's that easy! Remember, you can also clear the entire list by clicking the Clear List button at the bottom of the download window, too. Note: This doesn't delete the physical file from your computer; just the listing in the Firefox downloads window. ~Andrew Click here to rate this tip | Printer friendly version
Now You Too Can See In The Dark! Classy Light That Will Lead The Way... The Newest Innovation In Fluorescent Light Technology! Turn It On, Turn It Off - OR- Turn It On Auto! This Is Gonna Save You Tons Of Money!! My 68 Year Old Grandma From California Reveals Hidden Secret To Staying Safe, Looking Classy, And Saving Money... 3.5 Second Overview: It's the newest innovation in Plug-In Fluorescent Light technology. This convenient Plug-In Light provides bright, indirect, energy-efficient lighting wherever there's an electric outlet! Use it as a standard switch on/off night light, or set it to turn on automatically as daylight decreases and off as daylight increases... Picture this: Every winter, a few weeks after the new year, I go to California to visit my Grandmother. She lives in beautiful Palm Springs (as you can imagine it's nice to be there coming from old cold Ohio)... it's something new, it's something fresh and above all -it's warm! Getting back on track, my grandmother lives in a condo there. It's a classy looking place (for a classy looking lady)... She may be 68 years old but she keeps the place looking sharp 24/7. Though I noticed that there was something different this year, something magical. She had plugged in these fluorescent lights all around the house. Not everywhere, just in key areas. They matched well with the walls (any color)... and they plugged into only one outlet leaving the other one open. They didn't take up too much space, and best off all they had a serious beneficial use, which was: They kept my Grandmother safe. You see, at night they turn on and light up the hallways. She has one in every bathroom, which I thought was really cool and convenient! They really work great and it probably keeps my grandmother from maybe tripping over something in dark areas. She is highly capable though, and she probably got them for her guests. You see, she lives alone, so family and friends from all over the country come visit her. It's not their (her family and friends) turf, and the fluorescent lighting makes the whole house feel more cozy - more like home to all her out-of-town guests. My grandmother raised 13 healthy kids (I-kid-you-not!)... so she knows a thing or two about SAVING MONEY! She even told me herself, one of the reasons she bought this particular fluorescent plug-in light was because it was so energy efficient. Only used 6 watts and even has the option to turn in on or off, but even more importantly - you have the option to turn it on auto. On auto it automatically turns on at dusk and off during daylight - pure genius!! Try it for 60 days. If this product doesn't light up your world, send it back for a complete no hassle refund.

Marlin from Minneapolis writes: With Thunderbird (or any other client based email), once it is downloaded to your computer from the mail server is it then deleted and no longer in existence? E-Mail Clients like Outlook, Windows Live Mail and Thunderbird (along with others) offer a vast array of extra features, but can pose problems if you want to keep your e-mails portable. This is why there are a few different kinds of e-mail systems companies can use – and which one you have access to will determine whether your messages get erased from the server once you download them, or kept accessible for other devices/computers. POP/POP3: (Post Office Protocol) This is the e-mail method most companies used years ago and many still offer. It will store your e-mails on the server until you download them. In most cases, once you download them they are deleted. IMAP: (Internet Message Access Protocol) This is the e-mail method prefered by most e-mail providers today and lets your e-mail client sync up to the server and download copies of the messages. This method also lets you access messages on multiple devices and allows them to sync so that e-mails deleted on one device delete on the other and e-mails downloaded on a phone (for example) will automatically download on your other devices next time they connect. Exchange/Blackberry/Other Corporate E-mail Systems: These e-mail systems most often work very much like IMAP, but support various corporate security systems which prevent access and can control (very specifically) what and how things are sent. They often also support automatic archiving of messages for legal compliance, so even "Deleted" e-mail is often kept for months, sometimes years, based on the company's requirements. These systems offer multiple device sync and store messages on the server also, and usually require access either through a company IT department or by special request. What's the best one to use? IMAP if you have personal e-mail, and Exchange if your using company e-mail – but check with your company as individual configurations can vary greatly. P.S. Your web based e-mail clients (like Yahoo, Gmail, Hotmail and iCloud all support IMAP as the preferred connection type. You only need to set the connection type if your using these e-mail providers in a dedicated e-mail application the website will automatically save and store your information on the server. ~Tim Click here to rate this tip | Printer friendly version Do you have a question for us?

Andy asks: There are a couple of apps that came installed on my Android phone that I use regularly, and I'd like quick access to them. Is there an easy way to set that up? Thanks for the question Andy and, yes there is. Apps installed from the Android market generally create a home screen shortcut. But, whether using pre-installed or downloaded apps for which shortcuts are not created, when you find yourself returning to the same one frequently, it's easier to get at it from a shortcut on the home screen. Check it out over at Worldstart! (Want these tips in their entirety? Sign up for Premium!) Andrew from South Africa asks: I need to update my PC processor. I have an old Dell Dimension 4600 Pentium 4 2.66GHz-1.5GB RAM-AGP card slot. Can I just buy a better/faster processor like a Duo or quad core or something for my PC? First, you'll need to find out how many pins your processor has. You won't be able to purchase just any old processor and plug it into your computer if the pins don't match up. The Dell Dimension 4600 uses a Socket 478 processor. Since this type of processor is no longer being produced, finding a new one might be rather difficult. They also might be expensive. However, you may be able to locate a suitable processor on eBay. The Dell Dimension 4600 is supposed to be able to support up to as much as a 3.4 GHz Pentium 4 with an 800 MHz FSB. Of course, the max limit will depend on which type of Dimension 4600 you own. Since you currently have a 2.66 GHz in the computer, you should be able to upgrade to a microprocessor that runs at 2.8 – 3.06 GHz internally and 533 MHz externally. Due to the age of the Dell Dimension 4600, it may be less expensive to purchase a computer, rather than investing a lot of money into upgrading your current system. However, if you are serious about keeping the Dimension 4600 and doing some upgrading, then you will be better off to change out a few components. Read the tutorial here! (Want these tips in their entirety? Sign up for Premium!)  Have you ever noticed that Windows XP always highlights the new programs you install on your computer in the Start menu? I mean, it's helpful if you're new to computers and you're not sure where to go after installing a new program, but sometimes Windows will also highlight multiple aspects of the installed programs that aren't really necessary, such as the "Read Me" files and so on. Plus, those items remain highlighted until you actually run them. That can get quite annoying, especially once you become more experienced with your computer and know where the items go once they're installed. Talk about frustrating! If you let it continue, your Start menu will start to look like an orange striped zebra! That is, unless you go through and run every program you install at least once (and many times more often than that, because for some unknown reason, some programs will be rehighlighted after restarting your computer). Who has time for all that?! So, if you would prefer not to have to go through all of that, there is a way you can get back to normal. Here's how you can turn the highlighting feature off in Windows XP. Let's go! Learn how to turn off that highlighting feature here. (Want these tips in their entirety? Sign up for Premium!)

Welcome to Namepedia, an encyclopedia for names! Have you ever wondered what your first name means? Would you like to find out how your last name originated? Maybe you'd like to find a baby name. Well, you can do all of that and more right here! In the center of the main page, you'll find a search engine. It has four tabs above it: First Name, Family Name (last name/surname), Full Name and Real People. There's also a More option, but I didn't use it. Type in a first name if you just want to try it out. You can use your own name or you could use my name. I put in Amanda and clicked on Search. After you search and choose the entry you want, you'll find the origin, meaning, relations, pronunciation and even a rating for the name on the page. It was really neat to listen to the different pronunciations of my name. Along the top of the page, there are more tabs. Some correlate with the search engine and some don't. They are: First Names, Family Names, Real People, Baby, Interactive and More. I really liked the baby section. You can even create your own list of baby names. To do so, you'll need to register for the Web site. All you need to do is click on the Create an Account link at the top of the page, put in an e-mail address, a password and then log in. You should then get a confirmation e-mail. Now, choose how you'd like it to appear: public, friends only, private, whether the child is male or female, where they'll live, what language they'll speak and the 10 names you like. People can then vote on the names you picked. That would be a great way to get your friends' and family's opinion on baby names you've chosen. Check out the list I created as an example here. They can then rate the names you picked and offer you three more ideas of their own. They can also leave a comment and then click on the Send My Opinion button. If you're into celebrities, the Real Name section is for you! Here you can search for famous people by name. For example, Sandra Bullock, Cate Blanchett and Emmy Rossum. If you search, they'll give you the full name of the celebrity, their nationality and what their profession is. Also, at the bottom, you'll find articles about them. This Web site is definitely worth bookmarking for all your naming needs! ~ Amanda Click here to rate this tip | Printer friendly version Do you have a cool, non-commercial site that you want to share?Send it to Amanda at amanda@worldstart.com Sick & Tired of Your Painfully Slow Wireless Internet?
