| Microsoft
™ has said goodbye to Windows 95™ and Windows 3.1™. These
operating systems will no longer be supported by Microsoft. This
means that updates and security patches will no longer be developed.
As Operating Systems get older they also become more vulnerable,
hackers and unscrupulous web designers can take advantage of an
older system through trial and error.
As new Operating Systems are
developed, older systems become less cost effective to support.
Windows 95 has been heralded by many as the most innovative change
in computing since the personal computer was developed. This doesn't
necessarily mean it was the best operating system but rather that it
had the biggest impact on the way people use their computers.
Since Windows 95,
Microsoft has released Windows 98, 98SE, NT, Windows 2000, personal
and professional editions, ME, and XP. Another edition of the
popular operating system is already in the works, named Longhorn, it
is thought to be an upgrade similar to what Windows 2000 was to
Windows 98.

| Content ....Content.....Content. Content is king on
the internet. You have a website, created to show off your wares. It
was designed to reflect a specific image so changing it every few
weeks or months probably isn't such a good idea. However, new
content, new items for sale, new specials, news items, attractions,
weather, sports etc., can make a big difference in the number of
people that not only visit but return to your site again and again.
We all know that constantly changing a website is time consuming,
but there are ways to change your content without spending hours in
front of the computer or spending a fortune.
Choose a section of your site, it may be monthly or weekly
specials, links, area news, event calendars etc. Update that section
of your site regularly and visitors will return to view the
updates.
If your site isn't conducive to these types of changes, offer
news headlines, sports, a daily cartoon, stock ticker or site of the
day to attract repeat visits to your site.. Many of these can be
implemented in your site with java scripts, VB scripts, or I frames.
What this means is that the content is imported from another source
and updated automatically, giving your site fresh content on a
regular basis.

Start Up
Programs & Problems
Are you having problems with
programs that start automatically when windows starts? Have you
installed a program that didn't ask permission to start with
Windows? There is a small utility provided with most Windows
operating systems that allows you to easily shut down programs that
boot on start up.
The utility is the System
Configuration Utility. To see if the utility is available on your
system, click Start, then Run, and type "msconfig.exe"
(without the quotes) and click O.K. The utility should pop up on
your screen if it is available. Choose "Startup" from the
tabs that run across the top of the utility. Uncheck the box next to
the offending program and click on apply, then O.K. You will need to
restart your system for the change to take place.
If the utility isn't
available on your system check the link below and follow the
instructions to download and install the utility.
