Q:
What's an ISP?

A:
I get this one a lot. It seems like people are told to "check with their ISP" about this or that and they aren't sure who (or what) their ISP is.

ISP stands for Internet Service Provider. Your ISP is who you "dial up" when you access the internet.

Tip of the Day

Single Click Icons

Web link - http://www.worldstart.com/tips/singleclick.htm

It seems like one of the most common questions I get is "how can I set my icons for single-clicking?"

Well, it's easy. Here's how:

1. Right-click your Start button and select "Explore".

2. Once Windows Explorer opens, hit the Tools menu, Folder Options.

3. Click the Web Style radio button and hit OK (XP users, you want the "Single click to open an item" radio button). You may be asked to confirm you really and truly want single-click icons. Say "Yes I Do". Oops - actually, click "Yes" (Or OK, as the case may be).

That's it. You should be opening programs with a single-click.

If you want to be more particular, select "Custom" from the folder options screen and hit the settings button. You can control just about every aspect of your icons and folders from there. (note that you don't have that button on some versions of Windows).
