How do you switch the start menu on a computer from top to bottom?

Right-click the taskbar and check to see if there is a tick next to 'lock the task bar'. If there is, click on this option to remove the tick. Click and hold on any empty area of the taskbar. While you hold the mouse button you can then drag the taskbar from the top to the bottom, or even to the sides of the screen.

What is text wrap in PageMaker?

Flash drives plug into what?

A flash drive has to be inserted in the USB port on the computer. Latest operating systems detect the flash drive and install the necessary drivers on their own. Once the device is detected, it can be used for storing the data. The device needs to be ejected from the computer. The system prompts you when it is safe to remove the flash drive. It can be physically ejected then.

A flash drive consists of a PCB, a printed circuit board. It is covered in a plastic or rubber casing, making it sturdy. A USB connector that protrudes is covered with a removable cap. Most flash drives use type-A USB connection making it compatible with standard type-A receptacles. Hence they can be directly connected to a port on a computer.

Flash drives implement the USB mass storage device class, thus do not require any additional device drivers. When a flash drive is plugged in to a computer, what is presented to it is a block-structured logical unit. This leads to an abstraction from the complex implementation details of the flash memory devices.

What is cut and paste copying?

It means that instead of typing in a full body of text manually, the person used the functionality of the computer to copy an already existing body of text with the same content and applied it to the field in which it applies. To do it, hold down the left mouse button as you move the cursor over the desired text. It will become highlighted in blue. Once all the desired text is highlighted, right click in the blue area and select the option "copy". Now this text is saved on your clipboard. Next, right click in the field you want the text to appear in and select "paste". That's it.

Who invented windows for the computer?

Apple Computer developed first desktop computer with a GUI, graphical user interface and they were called "Windows", but to give credit where credit is due: The first graphical user interface was developed at the Xerox PARC (Palo Alto Research Center) in the 1970s for the Xerox Alto computer and they were also called "Windows". Steve Jobs visited PARC when the interface was under development and you know the rest of the story…it was incorporated into the Lisa's software platform which eventually led to the Macintosh.

The standard windowing system in the Unix world is the X Window System, first released in the mid-1980s. So "Windows" were pop-up screens called "Windows" in the computer world for those who are old as dirt.

History has away of white washing the truth sometimes.

Some people actually believe Bill Gates invented the Desktop computer.

How do you restore deleted taskbar icons?

Right click an empty space on the taskbar. Now click, Properties, Taskbar, Customize, and look under Current Items, click under Behavior an item you wish to hide. You will then have the option to change how this icon appears by clicking the V and looking at the options.

Actually, the above method only allows you to HIDE the icons. They are still there though, and still make booting up slower. To actually REMOVE them from the tray, you have to go to the Start Menu/Run... then type "msconfig". Then just uncheck the items you want to remove from the Taskbar.

If you want to remove a single program from the taskbar you simply right click on the unwanted program and click on delete.

Note this will not remove the program from the computer just the taskbar shortcut.

The icons on the right, next to the clock are known as the 'system tray' icons. These icons are actually programs that are currently running and therefore in most cases you will not want to remove them however you may want to 'hide' them. Do this by RIGHT clicking on the system tray and choosing PROPERTIES and then CUSTOMIZE button. You can choose "always show" (I recommend this for antivirus and volume control for sure) "hide when inactive" this is what they will most be set as at first, you should change these to "always hide" when you know you don't need to see any changes for monitoring.

Why is it important to name files and folders?

You just need to choose what sort of things to put into what folder and organise them in a way which makes them easy to find, e.g. you might have a folder for work related files, then have folders inside that folder to divide your work into different things you might be working on, then within one of those folders you might have more folders for different types of relevant information or for different types of file or for different dates.

How complex the system needs to be depends on how many files you have and what you need them for. I'm a student so I have a folder for Uni stuff, which has more folders in it for different types of software I need to use for my course and to separate different modules. Depending on your needs you might just want a load of folders for different general subjects in "my documents" or another master folder, or you might need 4 or 5 levels to organise your files properly.

How do you password protect the folders in your documents?

In my opinion, you need a tool. There are a lot of good password protection tools. You can search "password protect folder" or "lock folder" etc. to find a proper one for yourself. Usually there are two types of encryption methods:

1. Create one password for whole your disk and drag all folders and files to this disk to protect them. This only asks you to set one password for all of them. But if you want to set separate passwords to protect different folder or files, this kind of software will not help you.

2. Create one password for every folder. You can drag files to one folder and set a password for this folder. This will fix the above trouble, that you can set uniform password for different kinds of files. The disadvantage is you must remember a list of passwords.
