Have you ever started to do something on your computer and the “User Account Control Settings” window pops up? I am sure you have. And the geek in me refers to it as “UAC,” for obvious reasons. UAC stands for User Account Control, and it is a security feature implemented in Microsoft Windows, starting from…
I mentioned “Everything for Windows” in one of the “Sites in Review” series a couple of weeks ago. A reader emailed and said, “Ron, I cannot find your article from 2023 about ‘Everything.’” She continued, “Could you shoot me a copy of it?” Well, of course, I would email her a copy. However, after…
Remember when you were a kid playing in a sandbox? You could do whatever you wanted to it and always smooth it out and start over again. (Except for what the neighborhood cat may have left for you.) In Windows Pro and Enterprise versions of Windows, you can install Windows Sandbox. It operates just like…

If you see something that reminds you of something you would like to tell me about…please contact me at rondoyle+ideas@gmail.com. I always look forward to hearing from my…
Another year has snuck up on me (and you too) again. January 2022 is here and getting ready to exit in another quick 12 months. The clock is always ticking, and we are stuck with the rhythm. So, as usual this time of year I will review all the sites I mentioned last year. If…
