Computers 101

Q:
What is a "program group"?

A:
A program group is actually what it sounds like, a group of programs
that are (usually) related. Normally, it's one main program, an
uninstall program, and maybe a utility or two.

When you hit your Start button, Programs, all those little icons you see
with little sub-menu arrows after them are program groups (the ones
without arrows are shortcuts).

For the most part, every time you install a new program, you get a new
program group.

Tip of the Day

Easy Scrolling
(Internet Explorer)

Web Link - http://www.worldstart.com/tips/ezscroll.htm

Here's a quick little trick with MS Internet Explorer's scroll bar.

Most of us actually grab the scroll bar when we go to scroll down the length of a web page (well, unless you have one of those little scroll mice).

A better way is to right-click the scrollbar. A little menu will pop up that's chock full of scrolling options. Give it a try. It's kind of fun.
