Where is information that you view on the intenet stored on your computer?
Everything you view on your web browser, ie: internet explorer; firefox; safari etc. Are usually saved in your temporary internet files.
There are several programs out there to clean up these traces of personal data. Once in particular that I use is IOBit's Advanced System Care. Its free and spyware free. It runs periodically in the back ground to clean up privacy traces as well as speed up your computer.
This is not a spam message, I'm just some guy with the right answer for this one. Most things that you view on your computer are saved SOMEWHERE. Even when you delete a file it is moved to the recycle bin first, before it is completely removed. So clean up your Temporary Internet Files and your Recycle Bin. Those are just two of the places. There are just too many specific's to list. I'm sure most of your arent computer technicians like myself. So just go get the above mentioned program and save yourself a head ache.
Thanks,

What does a network cable is unplugged mean?
A network cable is not plugged in to your computer or to a device on the other end.
What is the function of ROM in computer?
- Read-only memory, a type of storage media which is used in computers and other electronic devices. This tells the computer how to load the operating system.
- older Mac computers typically included Old World ROM
- newer Mac computers typically included New World ROM
- ROM image, a computer file which contains a copy of the data from a read-only memory chip
- ROM (MUD), a popular MUD codebase
- Random oracle, as in "random oracle model", a mathematical abstraction used in cryptographic proofs
- ROM cartridges, a portable form of read-only memory
Where on the computer can you find the'reset' button?
This would depend on the type and model of computer. Generally, on a desktop computer, the power button will be on the front of the tower. Sometimes it can be on the side of the tower if not on the front.
If it is an all-in-one computer, such as the imac, it may be on the monitor itself (possibly back or front).
If you are using a laptop, it can often be found at the top right just above the keyboard. some older laptops have the button on either the side or front of the laptop.

Who realized the importance of the binary system in the computer field?
Nobody - the first computers were simple arrays of electrical switches - a switch can either be on (true) or off (false) - in binary, you use the figure 1 to indicate true and 0 to indicate false.
Data storage generally means that data is archived in electromagnetic form or other forms to be used by a computer or other device.
2) Choose Tools and select "Folder options"
- Click on "View" tab, select "Show Hidden files and folders" and uncheck "Hide Extention...."
- Click on "Hide protected operating system files" (these selections are important to find the files you need to delete)/
- Click "OK."
3. Open Windows Task Manager (ctrl-alt-del) and select the "Processes" tab
- Click on "Image name" to sort the list
- Find "wscript.exe" and click on "End Process" (if there is more than one process with that name you have to end all of them)
- Close Windows Task Manager.
4. Click on Start and select "Search" and search for "autorun.inf" (search the computer)
- Delete all the files that contain the text MS32DLL.dll.vbs (the virus) by pressing Shift+Delete. (There obviously should not be Autorun.inf in the C: root).
5. You will also delete the virus from the system (%homedrive%:\WINDOWS\ MS32DLL.dll.vbs) by pressing g Shift+Delete.
6. Next you have to edit the Register. (Please not that you have to be very careful in the Registry tools; certain mistakes in the Registry can crash your computer)
- Click on "Start" and select "Run" and type in "Regedit" and press "Enter".
- Select HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE --> Software -->Microsoft -->Windows --> Current Version --> Run.
- Find "MS32DLL" and delete that entry.
6. Select HKEY_CURRENT_USER --> Software --> Microsoft --> Internet Explorer --> Main. There you find Window Title "Hacked by Godzilla" and you should delete that entry. You can close the Registry now.
7. Click on Start --> Run and type in "gpedit.msc" and press "Enter."
-- Open "Group Policy": select User Configuration --> Administrative Templates --> System --> and there you will double click on "Turn Off Autoplay"
- In the window there you should select "Enabled" and select "All drives" (they say in a certain Thai website that select all turn of Autoplay will be safer for not getting viruses). Now you can close the Group Policy.
8. Click on Start --> Run and type "msconfig" and press "Enter".
- Open "System Configuration Utility".
- Click on "Startup" tap
- Find the file MS32DLL, choose Enable All, then uncheck"MS32DLL"
- Click Apply and then OK to close
- Exit the "System Configuration Utility" and select "Exit Without Restart" when prompt.
9. After this, double-click on My Computer and select "Tools" and "Folder Options" and "View" tap to change back there.
- select "Hide Extention..." and "Hide protected operating system file" and "Don't show hidden files and folders".
- Empty the "Recycle bin" and "Restart" your computer.
Extended Solution:
After you have deleted all these Autorun files, if your drives still do not want to open with a left click:
Start the Registry editor: Start->Run "regedit"
or alt-ctrl-del, File->New Task... "regedit"
Navigate to:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Drive\shell
- If there is a folder: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Drive\shell\open
Delete it.
There should only be Drive\shell\find and maybe Drive\shell\cmd, but if you see Drive\shell\open, delete it.
- Make sure that when in HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Drive\shell\, the (Default) key on the right hand window should have a value of "none":
Name: (Default), Type: REG_SZ, Value: none
If your computer is still not fixed, here is a complete registry dump of what the HKCR\Drive\ registry path should look like, along with the HKCR\Directory\ path as well:
Note: you can copy the below lines into a text editor (notepad) and save it as "drivefix.reg" and double click it. All the values below will be entered into the registry, overwriting existing values. But values which do not appear here are not affected.
Note: The @ sign is the name of the (Default) value for each directory/key in in the registry.

What is the best way to look things up on the inter net?
Well my friend, You already looked up "How to look things up on the internet" so use your common sense.
Johann Friedrich GutsMuths, Friedrich Ludwig Jahn, Franz Nachtegall, and Per Henrik Ling.
Let's not forget Alan Turing and Charles Babbage.
Where can one buy a desk for a gaming computer?
There are a lot of gaming desks offered at iFurn. Also Dell has a wide range of gaming computer desks for offer. Some community based gaming sites also offer custom made gaming computer desktops.
Why did computers change overtime?
Computers have changed a LOT over time. The first computers were the size of a warehouse and to input data you had to punch holes in cards and insert them into the reader.
Then the first computer for getneral public came out in the late 70's. It was completely text based, and to input or save datta you used a 5.5" floppy disk. These computers didn't have a hard drive. To use them you needed to know some programming.
Now we have computers that have hard drives, use CD-ROM/DVD drives, and have an operating system.We have portable computers in the form of laptops and tablets. Even more we have phones that are minature computers themselves.
What is a good free website builder for kids?
A good website maker for kids is wix lol. its great and it doesnt show any ads on your website. Also you can put music and stuff on it. It also has templats and animations you can put on your website for free. It is free if you want the website to look like this www.wix.com/blablabla or whatever you want to call your website. It is not free if you want it to look like this www.blablabla.com. I think it costs like $10 or $20 a month.
What is the process of giving the computer instruction and data?
The processor (sometimes called the Central Processing Unit or CPU) is a piece of circuitry that is able to execute instructions. The instructions are given to the CPU in the form of electrical signals applied to the pins (wires) that lead to the inside of the processor. Generally, a positive electrical voltage represents the binary digit 1, and zero or perhaps negative voltage represents a 0. If we have lots of pins, we can specify a large variety of different patterns of 1's and 0's, each corresponding to a different instruction. (Data is also represented this way) So, in theory, you could buy a bunch of simple switches and hook them up to the processor, and specify instructions by hand. In practice, this would be silly, but this is essentially-how programming was done back in the 1950s with the first digital computers.
In a modern computer, the instructions are actually stored in memory (RAM) before being given to the processor. Usually, the get into the memory only after being read from your hard disk, which also stores patterns of 0's and 1's using magnetism. When you click on an application, you are reading the instructions from your hard disk into memory, from where the processor is able to access it and begin execution.
Lastly, your computer has a little bit of permanent or semi-permanent memory that contains special instructions for starting up when you turn it on and some other special situations. BIOS is an example of that.
Peripherals like sound cards and video cards are generally told what to do by the CPU, and don't give the CPU instructions.
Got that off a website...Yahoo answers XD... NOT MY WORDS!!! I do not take credit for it. Anyways i think its the processor...

What type of software is used to control a computer?
KERNEL component of Operating System manages & controls the Hardware of the Computer and SHELL component enables Users to use Computer & Its connected devices.
Where do computers end up after they are no longer used?
When you throw out a computer, it usually goes to a factory where they take apart the computer and take out certain parts that can or cant be recycled.
Or they "recycle" it by shipping them overseas to China and burning the desktops or laptops. Which relates to why China has so much pollution.
If you are talking about Microsoft or any other text box, on the top it shows a slanted I so highlight the text you want to slant and then click that your text will become slanted. It looks like this: I Another way and easier way is to highlight your text and press Ctrl and I. This method can be used anywhere besides text boxes and Microsoft. Good Luck!
Mis-categorized question, methinks....
But Omniscience, all-knowing is....
"Bob felt tremors through his heart as he saw the vampire suck his cat dry."
Limited is...
"Bob looked on in terror as he saw the vampire suck his cat dry."
See? The author is able to look inside the character's head, and tell of thoughts/feelings, etc. Omniscience.
Second example is where the author has limited knowledgeof his character's thoughts.
Process checks to ensure the components of the computer are operating and connected properly?

How heavy is a computer moniter?
This cannot be answered. Many screens have different weights, shapes and sizes. If you were wondering about the weight of your screen, then safely unplug it and put it on a something such as scales and work from there.
Sorry I don't understand how I can help furthermore.
