Fix a Computer Clock That Forgets the Time

Fix a Computer Clock That Forgets the Time

A computer can fail to keep good time for a number of reasons.
It could be the result of Windows failing to connect to its timesync
server, or it could be due to a dead CMOS battery.
Readjusting the clock fixes the problem
for his current session, but every time he reboots, the clock
automatically readjusts itself based on the time-zone setting.
Fortunately, this is a super-easy problem to fix:

1. Right-click the clock in the System Tray (bottom-right corner)
and click Adjust date/time. 

2. In the ‘Date and Time’ tab of the resulting dialog box, click
Change time zone. Choose the proper time zone for your location.

3. Click OK, then click OK again.
Done! Done! Done!

Change Your Windows User-Account Picture

Change Your Windows User-Account Picture

When you click the Start menu (or visit the Windows log-on screen),
you see an arbitrary thumbnail image of a fl ower, a soccer ball, a
rubber ducky, or one of a handful of other stock Windows images.
Though you don’t get many choices when you initially set up your
PC (and in some cases you don’t get a choice at all), you can easily
change the image that’s assigned to your user account. Here’s how
(in Windows 7; the procedure may vary slightly in earlier versions):

1. Open the Control Panel and choose User Accounts. (Windows
Vista and 7 users can follow an alternative route to User Accounts
if they like: Click Start, type User Accounts, and press .) 

2. Click Change your picture.
3. If you don’t want any of the available thumbnails, click
Browse for more pictures.
4. Navigate to the desired folder and choose the BMP, GIF, JPEG,
or PNG image you want.
