Defragmenting your Disc
 
Files are not always stored in the same location on your disc, particularly if you frequently update and delete your files. This causes files to fragment,  This fragmentation doesn't damage the files but your system will take longer to access a particular file, depending on how fragmented it has become, it can make access slow and inefficient. Therefore it is advisable to deframent your disk at last once a month.
 
To defragment your disk :
 
Click on Start,  All Programs, Accessories, System Tools, Disk Defragmenter.
 
Select your drive ( usually "C " ) then click on the Analze button, windows will then tell you if your disk needs to be defragmented
 
Click on the Defragment button to start defragmenting your drive NB: the time it takes depends on how fragmented your disk is, it's size and the speed of your computer.   It can take up to a couple of hours!

OR Double click on "My Computer", then right click on the "C:" drive and select properties from the list that appears�?/FONT>

 

From the next menu select "Tools" and then "Defragment Now"

The Disc Defrag screen should now appear.

Words Behind the Emo's

Click on the reply button and select the emo you'd like to use from above.

At the bottom of the screen there is a small box that says "use HTML", tick this box. you should then see a lot of writting come up.

Go to the line which say's width=19

After the "19" put in a space and type the following:

title= ^"type your msg" ^

Untick the HTML box and your emo should re-appear, you cannot see the msg until you have sent it, once you have sent it run your cursor of the emo and your msg should appear.

 

Please note the ^ denotes space

If you want to have more than one window open whilst on your PC

ie: being in a comm and surfing the net, or opening a window to search for your pics.

This can also help with your storage space, if you open another window for your pics, you can copy and paste them into the msg thread rather than downloading the image through MSN.
