Recently, one of my subscribers wanted to know about a free program to let him fill in PDF forms.
I made a quick check and realized that the free PDF reader Foxit Reader would do this. While Foxit Reader also has a Pro Pack available to add additional functions, the free version does almost everything that [...]

Optimize 2.0 Review – Five Months Later Review
Optimize 2.0 Review Number 2
Back in February, 2008, I bought a license for Optimize 2.0 and was very impressed with its cleanup and speedup changes it made on my computer.
Now, five months later, is it still a worthwhile tool?
As I ran the program on Friday night, it had been several weeks since I had used [...]
HOWTO: Change File-type Program Associations
I’ve done it. I’m sure you have, too.
We’ve all installed a program that arbitrarily grabbed certain file extensions (such as .doc, .jpg, .mp3) and changed Windows’ settings. Now, the new program is the default for opening that file type.
Sometimes, it’s our fault — many programs that can handle multiple file types will give us an [...]
Wikipedia – the Free Online Encyclopedia Edited by You
What is Wikipedia? It’s the free encyclopedia. More interestingly, it’s a free online encyclopedia that is edited by its readers.
You may have already heard the name “wiki”, which is the name for a type of web site that is created by its visitors. Many wikis allow anonymous editing, at least to some extent.
More wiki’s require [...]
Number 1 Step in Computer Troubleshooting
You’ve seen the problem. The program you use every day, or maybe one you use occasionally, isn’t doing what it should.
Perhaps the program can’t load one of its data files, so it doesn’t actually start. Perhaps it won’t do the task you told it to do – even if it worked yesterday. Perhaps the program [...]
The Windows Right-Click Send-To Menu
One of the neat features of Windows is the drag-and-drop system, where you can use the mouse to drag an icon (or a file name in Windows Explorer), over a target icon — and drop the dragged icon on target icon.
When you do that, many Windows programs will start and do whatever they do to [...]
Google Earth – A View from Space
In the Using Google Maps article, we saw how we could find a location on the maps. Then, we saw that we could see a satellite view and even a hybrid view with the map superimposed over the satellite view. We could zoom, too.
Google has another neat satellite-view program. This one is Google Earth, which [...]
HOWTO: Changing Program Icons
Almost all purchased programs come with their own unique icons. Some are pretty or cute, while others are ugly.
If you create your own programs or Command files (.cmd) to run several commands, you’ll end up with a plain, unattractive default Windows icon for that file type.
However, you can change the icon to any other icon [...]
