Quick Access to Volume Control

A quick way to globally control the volume on your PC is the Windows Volume Control. There are several ways to access this
- Start --> Programs --> Accessories --> Entertainment --> Volume Control
or
- Start --> Control Panel (or "Settings") --> Sounds and Audio --> Speaker Volume
or the easy way,
- Start --> Control Panel (or "Settings") --> Sounds and Audio --> Place volume icon in taskbar".

Once you have enabled the Volume Icon On The Taskbar you will have single-click access to your system volume. Great for quick turn-downs in order to answer the phone.

Thanks to PC Mechanic for this tip.

Get A Job!

Get a job Sha na na na, sha na na na na
And when I get the paper
I read it through and through
And my girl never fails to say
If there is any work for me,
And when I go back to the house
I hear the woman's mouth
Preaching and a crying,
Tell me that I'm lying 'bout a job
That I never could find.
Sha na na na, sha na na na na,
Sha na na na, sha na na na na,
Sha na na na, sha na na na na,
Sha na na na, sha na na na na,
Yip yip yip yip yip yip yip yip
Mum mum mum mum mum mum
Get a job Sha na na na, sha na na na

You can modify the name of your internet browser from "Internet Explorer" to whatever you wish
- Start --> Run --> Type gpedit.msc
- User Configuration --> Windows Setting --> Internet Explorer Maintenance --> Browser User Interface
- Browser Title (Double click)
- Customize Title Bars
- Type Browser title that you want to use
- OK

That's the easy part. Figuring out why you'd want to is the hard part.
