Clearing Toolbar Space
Q: The main toolbar in Internet Explorer that has the Back, Forward, and Home buttons has other things on there that I would like to get rid of. They just take up space, and I see no use for them. Also, I’ll sometimes accidentally drag the toolbars out of place, which gets really aggravating. How [...]
Disabling Remote Registry
By default, the registry on your computer is available to others on the network. This means another user on the network could remotely access your registry if they have the skills to do so. Since the registry is the core of the operating system, you may want to increase security on your computer by removing [...]
Personal Trainer for Your Memory
“The program consists of 12 interactive ‘mind games’ that can be played in various permutations to enhance memory and related skills. It also includes a feedback tool that compares the player’s performance to norms adjusted for age, gender and educational level as he or she completes each exercise, plus a performance profile that recalculates the [...]
Choked to Death by a Spam Filter
A good spam filter can be a good thing. A bad spam filter can be a very very bad thing. Overzealous spam filters kill legitimate email as they seek to deep six the bad stuff. My business email host recently put a pathetic two-stage spam filtering system in place. I’m miffed, to say the least. [...]
Playing with Premiums and Puppies
Sorry about the 404s yesterday! You want full content in your Lockergnome newsletters again? Just so you know, I’m planning on returning to our classic model within a couple of months. I ask that you hang in there for a little while longer while we build the mechanism to make it all possible. The time [...]
Return to Original Graffiti
When I received the Tungsten T3, I was instantly happy with it except for one thing — the Graffiti. I had to unlearn years’ worth of the original Graffiti to use the T3. To date, I still can’t remember how to do punctuation. If I had the T3 first, then the Grafitti is great for [...]
CamZoomer v1.6
CamZoomer is an add-on application that fits in between your webcam application(s) and a webcam driver. It takes video from a real webcam (in the maximum allowed resolution) and transfers it to the webcam application. This allows CamZoomer to do 2x ZOOM without any loss of quality. Using digital zoom allows CamZoomer to zoom in [...]
Futuris Imager
It has been said that a picture is worth a thousand words. Besides that, a picture is also worth a thousand different types of software to view it in. There are just too many choices when it comes to software that deals with photo viewing, editing, and organizing. I’m going to make things even more [...]
RoboForm v6.0
This is a good time to be a software junkie. Even the lowliest newbie will be finding a ‘back to school tool’ under his digital pillow soon. Why? Because a number of my ‘Must Have’ utilities are about to spawn new versions. These aren’t ‘new because we say so’ kind of things, these are ‘WOW! [...]
Amazing Art!
There’s one thing about art that I find rather interesting, and that is that the crazier and more unique it is, the better it is accepted. I mean, I could throw spaghetti on a canvas, and some art collector would probably throw gobs of money at me. Just look at that one artist who cut [...]
