FARR (Find and Run Robot) is much betterFarr is an easy to use application launcher for Windows (Windows 7, Vista and XP) that helps you rapidly find and launch programs or documents from within the depths of the start menu or other directories. There are several similar programs, but I think FARR (Find and Run Robot) is much better and quite easy to use

Your Computer Tip of the Day: Use "Save As" and Version your Documents Most people have learned the lesson to save their work frequently.
Writing a document in MS Word or Open Office, you know you should hit Ctrl+S to save your work every 5 or 10 minutes don't you - you don't want a computer crash to kill your last great burst of inspiration. Butting here's some advice that less people follow: Every once in a while save your file using "Save As" and give it a versioned name. For example: Thesis_34.txt, MyNovel_Oct22_2006.doc Why bother with versioning multiple backups of your files? Occasionally files get corrupted, or you realize a week later you've somehow deleted 10 of your best pages. You don't want to find yourself in the position of only have the one latest version of your document and no way to get back at what you had yesterday. Never rely on the integrity of a single version of your important stuff. |
