Thank you for all of the emails over the last couple of weeks regarding the past year in review. Keep in mind you can find all the articles online at DNRonline.com and my site, DoubleClicks.info if you want to catch up. Many emails asked about the Android Market link (market.android.com). Before starting you should note…
Thanks to all of you readers who support the "Double Click" column by reading and writing. It is very much appreciated. Please keep it up. I always enjoy hearing from you. So it is that time of year again when we review all of the sites I have mentioned over the previous year. As always,…
Cassie from Winchester wrote and asked me about Windows 7 and how to pin tasks to the taskbar. She went on to ask about Jump Lists. I was surprised in that these are very beneficial for Windows 7 users and I had not written about them before. I remember when W7 first came out and…
Я не говорю NIKAKие иностранные языки; однако, слово Microsoft делает. Это реально русско? Мне нужно один из моих русских друзей вне там препятствовал мне знать. Спасибо заранее! Here is the paragraph above as I wrote it, "I do not speak any foreign languages; however, Microsoft Word does. Is this really Russian? I need one of…
Last week I wrote about two Menu Applications for Windows operating systems. I specifically mentioned Windows Vista and 7 but those two apps will work on most any of them. They were “Desktop Sidebar” and “RocketDock“. Check last week’s Double Click for more details. I also mentioned bringing the Windows’ “Quick Launch Toolbar” that many…

My favorite feature (which was also available in Vista, though not nearly as robust or accurate as in W7) is being able to…
Last week we covered the first three items in Excel’s “Formula Auditing” tools: Tracing Precedents, Dependents, Remove Arrows and Show Formulas in Excel’s “Formula Auditing” tools. Today we will wrap up the last three features. I am sure you have never seen an “Error” popup box in Excel. That’s not true, unless you are an…
At the end of last year I wrote a column with regard to Microsoft’s spreadsheet program Excel. Due to the email response, (which to me at least was unexpected) it has now turned into three columns. I guess there are more of you Excel users out there than I thought. I have continued to get…
Last week I mentioned that Family Safety is one of the applications you get if you choose to install Windows Live Essentials (WLE). Here is a very short description of all the apps which come with a full installation of WLE. If any of them sound appealing try it, if not ignore them. First go…
Last time I told you about OpenDNS.com where you can set up ways to restrict website access from your home computers. Microsoft also adds a similar feature in Windows Vista and 7, titled, "Parental Controls." "Parental Controls" are useful to help manage how and when your children use a computer. You can set up games…
