Posted on Windows 7 News & Tips Christmas is traditionally the time to give and receive technology, at least it is these days, so a few days ago I posted a free eBook guide to setting up and configuring a new PC which I hope you’ll find helpful and pass on to friends, family and colleagues.  Many people will get a new Windows Phone for Christmas, this includes myself as Nokia have just sent me a Lumia 800 for review.  Any new operating system presents its challenges though and so here I thought I’d publish a quick guide to getting started with your new WIndows Phone handset. Setting up Accounts You can set up all your online accounts, Hotmail, Yahoo!, Gmail, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn etc in the settings panel from the main screen.  To get here, swipe from right to left on the screen and swipe your finger up the screen to scroll the all programs list until you see Settings .  These accounts are found in the Email & Accounts panel. Here you can set up and manage all of your accounts.  Click Add an account to add additional accounts your your phone.  Remember you can have as many email accounts set up as you wish and each one will display its own live tile on the Start screen (there’s no integrated inbox feature yet)

Posted on Windows 7 News & Tips It’s Christmas, that traditional time of high PC sales when people give and receive new computers.  To mark the occasion I’ve written a short eBook on how to set up and configure a new PC.  In this completely free 25 page printable guide I deal, first and foremost with the age-old problem of the missing Windows 7 installation DVD and what you can do about it.  Other subjects covered include creating your own backup and restore disks for Windows 7, how to secure your files, photos, music and video away from Windows 7 to prevent a disaster wiping them out, and how to deal with bloatware and trial versions of anti-virus software. There are always issues surrounding new computers, not the least of which is the missing installation DVD.  Others include the sheer amount of useless software that’s commonly pre-installed on them.  This software is commonly set to run at start-up and can slow down your computer.  Another issue is that the anti-virus software instaled on new PCs is commonly a time-limited trial that expires, and stops protecting your computer, after a few months

Posted on Windows 7 News & Tips A lot of the time im sure that you find yourself opening up the same websites every time you open up your browser. Generally people will nearly always have their email open in one tab, probably facebook and twitter and whatever other sites they frequently visit. So instead of manually opening up each site in a new tab all the time, wouldn’t it be handier if they all opened at once when you went to your browsers homepage?
