When IE loads very slowly for no clear reason, it’s usually 

due to an add-on 

clogging the pipes. Fortunately, one of IE’s best features is that it allows you to
see how long each add-on is taking to load. You can find this under Tools Manage
Add-ons. Check the ‘Load time’ column to see what has been weighing you down.

In Windows 7 and Vista,  lets you zoom in and out in most 

applications. In Windows Explorer, this combo makes icons 

and thumbnails larger or smaller. In Web browsers and most 

graphics programs, it changes the font size or the zoom 

level up and down.

Never schedule anything for the day after you come back from a 

long trip or vacation, since you’ll need this day to catch up 

on everything you’ve missed while you were out. If you use a 

shared calendar system, book the entire day of your return with 

“meetings” before you leave. 

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!
