STARTUP-LESS STARTUP When Windows 95 loads, it loads every application whose shortcut you've placed in the StartUp folder (in your Start menu under Programs). Occasionally, however, you may not want these applications to load, although you don't want to go so far as to remove them from the StartUp folder. In that case, tell Windows 95 to avoid loading them during that startup only. When you see the Windows 95 logo on-screen, hold down Shift until the operating system finishes loading, and then let go. Those StartUp applications are nowhere to be found! ------------------------------------------------------ INSIDE MICROSOFT WINDOWS 95 TIP OF THE WEEK The following tip is presented by INSIDE MICROSOFT WINDOWS 95, a monthly publication of The Cobb Group. For a FREE issue, go to http://www.cobb.com/w95/cuvyeu.htm SORTING THE DETAILS The Details view in Windows Explorer or My Computer reveals four columns of information about each file in a folder. These columns list each file's name, size, type and date of last modification. This view also allows you to easily sort your files by any one of the columns. For example, to sort your files according to date, click the title bar for the date column. To arrange your file information in reverse (descending) order, click the title bar twice. ------------------------------------------------------ HOW TO JOIN THE MAILING LIST http://www.microsoft.com/regwiz/personalinfo.asp If your are getting this information from someone else, visit the site listed above to join the mailing list and get your own copy.
