Take a look at one of the folder icons on your desktop and you'll notice that there's a picture sticking out of it. Like this: It would appear that this is just a random picture, chosen by Windows, but we all know better – we know that there's gotta be a way to change it. And there is! Just Right-Click the folder and choose Properties. From here, make sure the Customize tab is selected and under Folder Pictures, choose Choose File… (Might be "Choose Picture" under Windows XP) Now simply browse to a location on your hard drive that's got a picture you want to use, select it and choose Open. Click OK. Now your folder has its own custom picture! ~Andrew Click here to rate this tip | Printer friendly version

Gloria from CA writes: I have a web site that I use daily and have to type the www address every time. Is there a way to give it an icon and pin it to the toolbar? Thanks! You can do this by creating a new shortcut on your desktop to the website address, then pin it to the task bar. It's really easy! Step 1) Right click on an empty area of your desktop and go down to New then left click create Shortcut. Step 2) Type into the "Type the location of the item:" box the full website address begining with http://www. For example if you want to go to worldstart.com type in: http://www.worldstart.com and press Next Step 3) Type in a name for the shortcut describing what it is in the "Type a name for this shortcut:" box and press Finish. Step 4) The next step is to pin your web browser to your task bar if it's not already there. Click Start > Programs > then go to your internet web browser icon, right click it and select Pin to Taskbar. (If you already have an internet browser icon always on your task bar (even when you close your web browser), you can skip this step. Step 5) Click and hold the mouse button on the shortcut you made to the website and drag it over to your internet browser icon on your task bar. Once it is over it, let go of the mouse button. Step 6) Now when you right click on internet explorer you should see your link at the top of the menu! You can add other pinned items to this the same way. The same instructions work with Firefox. You can also drag the shortcut on to your start menu to put it there or just leave it on your desktop and click the desktop icon to go right to the website. ~Tim Click here to rate this tip | Printer friendly version Do you have a question for us?

Pamela from Illinois asks: My Dell computer, running Windows XP, cannot read CDs. When I put one in, I get the hourglass and nothing else. What could be wrong? The first question; was it a commercial CD or a copied disc? Sometimes copies of CDs are not finalized correctly, and they won't play in anything other than the machine in which they were burned. The second question; is it a CD or an unmarked DVD? Not all computers have the capability to play DVDs. Most of the newer models can play almost any type of disc, but older Dells aren't able to play certain discs. Make sure it's a CD you are putting in the computer. If you put in the CD and the hourglass shows up, try clicking on the hourglass symbol. This will often cause an error message to pop up and let you know what is going on. Sometimes the message will tell you to insert a disc. This message usually appears when a blank disc is inserted in a computer that isn't equipped with a disc burner. While most computers can play CDs, not all are able to burn them. Due to this lack of disc-burning capability, these computers will not acknowledge a blank disc. However, if you know for sure that your computer is able to play CDs, the cause may be your media player settings. Try the following steps: Step 1 – Click on the Start button at the bottom left of your screen Check out the rest at Worldstart! (Want these tips in their entirety? Sign up for Premium!)
Joe from DE writes: Other than for security purposes, does shredding files gain back hard drive space? How does it work, exactly? Hi, Joe. Thanks for the great question. Whether you delete a file from your recycle bin or shred it, the space is made available for your computer to use. Although in either case it is still technically taking up the same amount of space on your hard drive, your computer can still overwrite the information. The big difference is that when you simply delete a file from your recycle bin, the file is still there and can be recovered using specialized forensic software. But there's more! Click here!

This Web site is a really fun application! What you see is a map of the U.S.A. and what you're going to do is put in zip codes. Let's check it out! For example, type in my zip code: 43610 It will show you exactly where my zip code is on the map. Then if you click the Z key or click on the word Zoom, it will zoom in on that location. In the zoomed in mode, the other dots represent the zip codes near by. If you hold down the Shift key and type in more numbers, it will change the location. So, let's try 44052. That's the zip code I grew up in. The image of the map itself is all the dots of the zip codes. Isn't it interesting that it still keeps the shape of the country?! I like to put in random numbers and see where I end up. I found out where 72560, 81501 and 12345 were! Check this Web site out and remember to have fun with it! ~ 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

Setting it up takes mere minutes. There are six basic entries on the main menu: Destination, History, Nearest Points of Interest, Set as Home, Save to Favorite, and Settings. It's straight forward and TOTALLY user friendly. 
You know, it'd be one thing if you constantly had to keep looking at it to know where to turn next. That might be a little bit dangerous. 
Talk about ultimate safety AND security! This is a brilliant idea, and frankly one we're stunned wasn't though of sooner. Just like it sounds, this is a mount in the shape of a cup that safely sits right next to you in your cup holder!
Out of Plain Sight - Thieves Cannot See it! This is the best part! Most of us have had our vehicle broken into at one time or another. The expense of that happening is WAY more than just replacing what's stolen - popped locks and busted windows cost a FORTUNE to repair!
