Episode two

After one of my computer melt downs, I reformatted "C" drive, this meant I would have to reinstall every thing [no comments of back up, please], but you can get rid of all the garbage that accumulates on your hard drive. So when I went to reinstall my scanner, again a HP product [6200 series] I discovered I had lost my Install CD, now its trauma time, but soon recovered, and went on line. Did not quite find what I needed, but did get a phone number. When I got a hold of the phone person, I asked what the procedure was when you do not have a credit card. She said you can order right now, and on receipt of your check we will send it rite out, but what's the item you wanted? I gave her the part number, and said it was software. Oh ! She said, we can ship that to you free. So with my address, phone number, she promised to send it right out. True, in a few days a snail-mail showed up with a bubble envelope and a CD.
SEE, WALT! Not all is bad out there.


	Questions Answered by Lowell Shatraw, CUGG - Computer User Group of Greeley

Q: WHAT IS THE TASKBAR AND THE TOOLBAR?

A: The TASK BAR is the area at the bottom of your WIN9x screen that shows the applications that are currently running. The active application will show differently, while the others will show the names of the applications. Clicking a non-active application will cause the application to be displayed on the screen; on top of whatever else you may have displayed.
The TASK BAR on all WINDOWS systems can be relocated to the side or to the top of your screen if desired. To move it, just click and drag on a blank area on the TASK BAR and let go when your mouse is located within about one inch from either side or at least halfway up the screen from the bottom.

The TOOL BAR is a row or column of icons that appear, typically, at the top of the application screen. The functions will vary according to the application being used. For example, the tool bar for my Internet Explorer shows the BACK and FORWARD icons, as well as the STOP, REFRESH, HOME and others. Netscape COMPOSER shows the NEW, OPEN, SAVE, PUBLISH, PREVIEW, and others.
Generally, the TOOL BAR is displayed below the MENU BAR which is located in the topmost area, under the title and which contains the names like FILE, EDIT, INSERT and others.

Q: What are the shortcuts to Windows Explorer and to Find? Also, what wildcards will work with the Find command?
