A new assortment of daily tips starts next week
Beginning Monday, April 4, you’ll find a new daily tip feature on this site. I’ve already prepared the first week’s worth and set them up to be served automatically every weekday, first thing in the morning. Yes, I know there are other Windows tips sites out there. My goal with this one is to avoid rehashing the same old stuff and to come up with advice that’s fresh and different, whether you’re a novice or a jaded PC user with more than a decade’s experience, like me.
I plan to set up a separate RSS feed for this collection. When it’s ready, I’ll post the URL here. I also welcome suggestions. If you’ve got an idea, feel free to post it in the comments here.
What inspired me to start this up now? Last week I had a chance to review the archives of this site, and I cringed when I read through the collection of Windows tips that I had saved from another Web site. They were created way back in 2000 and 2001, and with a few exceptions they haven’t been updated since then. A few are still useful, but many are relevant only to users of Windows 95/98/Me. I’ve removed the links to that tip collection from my archives. I’ll be deleting the pages themselves shortly and replacing them with a pointer to the new collection.
Ed, I’m really looking forward to this! Thanks for putting in the effort!
What a great idea. Windows’ Registry is a mine of tips. Here’s my suggestion: How to remove unwanted right-click entries in the context menu. Seems like every other program loads its own batch there.
