Run CDs From Your Hard Drive! The Problem: You have a bunch of programs that require the CD to be in the CD ROM drive in order to run. You know, stuff like map software, CD ROM encyclopedias, games, clipart, and dozens of others. Wouldn't it be great if you were able to copy your CDs to your computer's hard drive so you always had them? Problem is, the vast majority of CDs have copy protection that forces you to run them from a CD drive - they simply won't work from your hard drive. But there is a way around that problem :-) The Solution :-) This is a must have piece of software for every computer user. It's called Virtual CD and it allows you to copy your CDs to your computer's hard drive. I've been using it for a couple weeks and it's fantastic. (In fact, I refuse to run my CD programs without it anymore!) How does it work? First, it creates a virtual CD ROM drive in your computer. Basically, this software "tricks" your computer into thinking that you have another "real" CD ROM drive installed. Then you can copy your CDs to your hard drive using a simple little wizard program. Each CD you copy becomes a "virtual CD" you can play in your "virtual CD ROM" drive. Just run the program to manage them. It's super easy. If you want to access more than one of your copied CDs at a time, don't worry. Virtual CD can create up to 22 virtual drives. You could run 22 CD ROM programs at the same time and never need to swap a CD! Look at the advantages:
Plus, since your virtual CD drive works just like a regular one, there's no learning curve involved. This software is very easy to use and everything is done with a step by step wizard process. You can be using it in a matter of minutes! This is one that everyone needs. Quit playing the "where's that CD" game and grab this now. It's only $24.97 and US shipping is FREE! This retails for $59.95, so it's way over half off. Check it out: http://www.worldstart.com/store/virtual-cd-45.htm Warning - Once you try this, you'll never go back to the old way of using your CDs. Between the speed increase and not having to swap disks all the time, you'll fall in love with it (like I have).
Did You Know … … that MS Excel will count your highlighted columns or rows for you? Have you ever found yourself trying to count the number of highlighted columns or rows (maybe to set formatting, borders, etc.)? It's annoying - isn't it? I've actually caught myself with my finger right on the monitor trying to get an accurate count. (Bad idea since it disturbs the dust and now you have to count the columns and clean the screen!) Want an instant count while you're doing the highlighting? It's there - right in front of you - and the kicker is that it's been there all along. Next time you're highlighting several columns or rows take a look in the little bubble that appears above the column letters or below your last highlighted row. See the 4C? That means that 4 columns are currently highlighted. (For rows you'll see a number followed by an R.) Just think of all the finger smudges on the screen that could have been avoided… if only we'd noticed that trick sooner!
One Key Pasting In MS Word Ever find yourself continually pasting the same item over and over? Tired of constantly needing the mouse or the Ctrl + V combination? Wish you had a quick and easy one-key paste? Well, you can - if you're not to attached to the Insert key. (The key that toggles between new text overwriting old text and new text being inserted between old text.) Want to know how? Yes? Good. Then you're reading the right issue. To convert your Insert key to a Paste key you need to start with the Tools menu, Options choice. Now go to the Edit tab. You're looking for the Use the INS key for paste option. Check this box.. Now click OK. That's it! Now you're the star of your own one-person, one-key pasting show! ~ April
