The Tip Of The Month
April 2000
Storing Your Password
If you don't want to type your password every time you sign-on to AOL, you can have it automatically stored for you. However, you'll probably only want to do this if you are the only person who has access to your computer, or if you don't care if other family members use your account.
- Click on My AOL in the AOL menu
- click on Preferences
- Click Passwords
- Type your password in the input field, or box, next to your screen name
- Click OK
- The password will be stored until you come back to the Passwords Preferences and erase it.
* Remember that when you change your password, you must update your password preferences, too.
March 2000
House Hunting Online
It's very likely that, sooner or later, you'll either be buying or selling a home. Here are links to two sites that will help you determine how much a house is really worth. At Realtor.com you'll find what's for sale and what sellers' asking prices are, and at HomePriceCheck.com you can find out what houses ACTUALLY sell for. Both of these sites are easy-to-use and free!
Find What's For Sale
www.Realtor.com
Find What Houses Actually Sell For
www.HomePriceCheck.com
November & December 1999
Turning off the pop-up advertisements that greet us at sign-on
If you're using AOL, you know about those Pop-Up advertisements that show up when you sign-on. You can turn them off. Even if you've already done this in the past, AOL will send you an e-mail telling you that your option to turn them off has expired. Pretty lame, right? Anyhow, here are the instructions for turning them off:
- Go To Keyword: Marketing Preferences
- Click the button for "Pop Up"
- Click on "Continue"
- Select the "No" option
- Click the "OK" button
October 1999
Tip 1 of 2
Add A 6th & 7th Screen Name to Your AOL Account
I've been told that when you upgrade to AOL 5.0 you can have 7 screen names, instead of the current 5. If you've run out of screen names and need another, upgade to 5.0.
Other than that one enhancement I've not yet discovered any other compelling reasons to upgrade just yet.
AOL 5.0
(note: this link will only work for AOL members)
Tip 2 of 2
Save Hundreds of Dollars
If you surf the web a lot, no doubt you've seen an advertisement for this offer. For the longest time I just ignored the banners, but I finally decided to check it out, and I'm glad I did. Not only am I really saving money but I also have a credit card with my daughter's picture on it.
The First, True Internet VISA: Get online account info,download statements, email questions, sort transactions, pay bills, transfer balance, & 100% safe for Internet shopping. Save money with online approvals and rates as low as 2.9% APR!

September 1999
Finding A Link In Favorite Places Folder
If you have a long list of web sites in your Favorite Places folder (or a Favorite Places sub-folder) and you want to find
a specific site, you can find it easily if you remember just one word from the Title of that site.
- Open your Favorite Places folder
- If you will be searching a sub-folder, click to open that folder
- In the AOL menu, click on Edit | Find In Top Window
- Type a word (or part of a word) from the Title of the site
- Click the "Find" button
August 1999
Tip 1 of 2Use "My Points"
If you enjoy surfing the web, you might as well get paid for it. You can earn points for visiting sites, and then cash those points in for free prizes from real stores. If you decide to do this, can you please tell them that "Freegags" referred you? That's the name I use for myself at My Points.
Earn FREE Rewards Just By Using the Web
Please tell them "Freegags" referred you!
Tip 2 of 2
Monitor Your Child On The Web
If you're a parent who is worried about what your child is seeing on the Web, you probably know
by now that most web page blocking software is not effective. "Prudence" is a program that approaches the
problem differently. "Prudence" logs the addresses of all the web sites that
your child visits, so you can then review the pages to make sure that the content meets with your
approval. Unless your child enjoys getting in serious trouble, he or she will be sure to avoid visiting
sites that have inappropriate content.
This program is currently on the FREE products site. There's no rebate form involved; it's completely free. I'm not sure how long it will remain free, so if you want it, I recommend that you get it right now:
Click to "Prudence"
July 1999
Setting Your AOL Marketing Preferences
AOL has actually made it easier to set Marketing Preferences. By "Marketing Preferences", AOL
is referring to advertising they send you via U.S. Mail, e-Mail, Pop-Up Windows and Telephone.
You have the option to choose which, if any, of these types of advertising you'd like to receive.
- Click on "My AOL"
- Click on "Preferences"
- Click on the the "Marketing" icon
- Choose from any, or all, of the 6 marketing choices listed.
- Read and follow the instructions for choosing your preferences for each option
June 1999
Turn-Off The Automatic Loading of AOL's "Channels"
If you don't want AOL's "Channels" screen to come up every time you
sign-on, simply do the following:
- Click on the "My AOL"
- Click on the the "General" icon
- De-select the "Display Channels on Sign On" check box
- Click the "OK" button
Then, when you actually do want to use AOL's "Channels", you can get to
the list from the "Channels" icon at the top of the AOL window.
May 1999
Compacting Your Personal Filing Cabinet in AOL 4.0
This will reclaim wasted space on your harddrive that is being taken up by e-mails that you've deleted.
- Click on "My Files" icon and select the "Personal Filing Cabinet" option
- Click the "Compact PFC" button
- Click the "Compact Now" button
- Click the "OK" button
April 1999
Right-Click on A Web Page to Save It
When you're on a web page and you want to save it to your Favorite Places, just right-click on
the web page, and left-click on the words "Add To Favorites...". Then click the "OK" button.
October 1998
Saving Wav Files From a Web Page
This varies, depending on which web browser you're using, and even which version of the browser you are using. In most
browsers, simply right-click on the text (or picture) that links to the wav file. A pop-up box comes up
that then lets you choose where to Save the wav file to.

Syquest's SparQ Drive Is Far Superior To Iomega's Zip Drive
BAD NEWS! Syquest has either gone out
of business or is about to go out of business. So, even though
this was a great product, don't buy it!
This month's tip deals with hardware. Most people have heard of something
called a Zip Drive. It is a diskette drive that reads from 100 meg Zip diskettes. It's made by a company named Iomega.
I strongly recommend that you NOT buy one. Here's why ...
A company named Syquest makes a similar product to the Zip Drive, but the diskettes that it reads hold
10 times the information that a Zip disk can hold (1,000 meg, or 1 gig). Also, information is written to
the diskette 5 times faster than it is written to a Zip Diskette. The Syquest drive is named SparQ.
The SparQ drive itself is slightly more expensive than a Zip Drive. However, the
diskettes are much less expensive (per megabyte), thus, the overall cost of a SparQ drive will be less than the cost of a Zip Drive.
If you plan to share Zip Disks with family and friends that have Zip Drives, then you have to buy a Zip Drive. If you do
not need to do this, and you want a good way to backup the information on your computer, a SparQ drive is
much better than an Iomega Zip Drive (it'll save you time and money).
Learn more about the SparQ drive at www.syquest.com.

Tip 1 of 1
Avoiding Computer Viruses
There is only one tip this month because it's a very important tip and
I'm hoping that you'll focus on this information.
VERY IMPORTANT TIP!!!
It seems to me that most people do not understand how
computer viruses are passed from computer to computer. To make things worse,
AOL gives flawed advice about computer viruses - saying that you should not
download files (or click on links) unless they are sent to you by someone you know.
This is inept and incorrect advice!!! The reality is this - even a person
you know, may be unwittingly sending you a file containing a computer
virus! AOL gives the advice that it gives because they think we're
incapable of learning the facts about computer viruses.
Here's the real deal on computer viruses:
Computer viruses are spread
by a few types of files. You'll know the file type by reading the extension
at the end of the name. For instance, a file named "susan.exe" is an EXE file, a file named "homer.wav" is a WAV file.
Computer viruses can come to you in files that end in exe, zip, bat, com, doc or xls.
Also, you have to both download the file and then run (or execute) the file
on your computer, for the virus to be actually transmitted to your computer.
Important note: The vast majority of .exe, .bat, .com, .doc and .xls files do NOT
contain viruses.
Other file types can not contain viruses! You CAN NOT get a virus from a wav, jpg,
bmp, gif, avi, mov or mpg file. Stop believing that you can!
If you receive any files that have these extensions: exe, zip, bat, com, doc or xls, be sure that you know
their origin. Make sure that they were either created by someone you know or
are being distributed by a reputable software company.
Another way that computer viruses are passed from computer to computer is
on computer diskettes. If a diskette that contains a boot-sector virus
comes into your posession, you risk transmitting the virus that is on that
particular diskette to your PC. Usually, the virus will be transmitted
when you turn your computer on
with the diskette in the disk drive. This is a very common mistake! Almost all
of us have turned our computers on with a diskette accidentally left in the
diskette drive from the previous time we used the computer. If that diskette had
a boot sector virus on it, then your computer is infected.
There are many companies making anti-virus software. You definitely should
have anti-virus software on your PC. Here's a good place to start learning
about this type of software:

Tip 1 of 3
Use The e-mail Reply Feature in AOL
To use the e-mail Reply feature in AOL to reply to specific text,
highlight the text that you are replying to and then click Reply.
This was one of the original tips that I included on this page. It's being reprised to let new members to the site know about it. To effectively use e-mail you need to know how to use this feature!
Tip 2 of 3
Alt-Tab Through Open Programs
Hold the Alt key down and press the Tab key to cycle through programs that are open. This is an easy way to switch between programs. I've mentioned this tip before, but I mention it again now because it's very useful and most people are unaware of it.
Tip 3 of 3
Sending an e-mail BCC
When using AOL, to send a Blind Carbon Copy (BCC) e-mail, simply put the e-mail addresses
in parenthesis and separate them by a comma. By doing this you can e-mail a group of people all at once without them seeing the other names in the e-mail.

Tip 1 of 3
The "You've been idle" warning.
To prevent the "you've been idle" warning from popping up, you can either:
- keep a chat room open and minimize it (if you don't want to be bothered with IMs, turn them off), or
- open a page that updates periodically and minimize it
Tip 2 of 3
Make the Taskbar a "Pop-up Taskbar" (a Windows '95 trick)
You might dislike having your taskbar work like this. If that's the case, switch it back after trying this.
With your Taskbar set this way, you'll only see it when you point your mouse at the are where your Taskbar is located
- Right-click on any blank area of the taskbar
- Chose Properties from the shortcut menu
- In the Taskbar Options tab, select Auto Hide
- Click on OK
Tip 3 of 3
Select the Startup page for your browser
You can select your own startup page to use in your web browser. This
is the page that appears when you first open your browser. If you're using
AOL's browser, it's the page that opens when you click on the little globe
icon at the top of your AOL screen. Personally,
I start the day with The Joke of The Day page as my Start Page. Not only is it a
cool page to start with, but it also has links to 4 very good start pages (one
each for stocks, sports, entertainment and life links).
Here's how to change your start page in AOL:
Note: You can also change the Start Page in Netscape. If you are using Netscape, refer to the Netscape menu and help for instructions.
March 1998
Tip 1 of 3
Blocking IMs from a specific screen name
If you wish to block IMs from one person send an
IM to $IM_OFF screename
For example, if you wanted to block IMs from me, in an IM you'd type:
$im_off susantips
and then click on the Available button.

You can select your own startup page to use in your web browser. This
is the page that appears when you first open your browser. If you're using

Tip 3 of 3
Improving the photo quality in your web browser
I've referred to this tip in the past but I know a lot of people are still
not aware of this. PCs are often shipped with their graphics setting set to
dislpay at 256 colors. However, most PCs can display graphics with more than
256 different colors. If your PC has the ability to display 64,000 or
16 million colors, you might want to switch to this higher color level.
The reason is simple - photographic images will be clearer.
In Windows '95 it's relatively easy to switch color-settings and it's safe to do.
If you are using Windows 3.1 or 3.11 it is not easy to change color-settings
unless your PC came with a program that was made specifically for this chore.
I'm not going to give instructions for changing your color-level in Windows
3.1 or 3.11.
In Windows '95
- Right-click on the Desktop area.
- Click on "Properties"
- Click the tab for "Settings"
- You should now be seeing the settings for "Color Palette" and "Desktop Area"
Since there are many different types of graphics cards and monitors, I can not
tell you what options are available to you under these 2 settings. If your
"Color Palette" is set to 256 (8-bit) colors and you're given the option to
increase it to a higher-level, this is where you would do that.
Technical Note:
8-bit = 256 colors
16-bit = 64,000 colors
24-bit = 16.7 million colors
32-bit = billions of colors (i forget the precise number)

Tip 1 of 3
Deleting Multiple E-mails in one click of the Delete button
Hold down the Ctrl key while you are clicking on e-mails on the list.
When you are finished selecting e-mails to delete, let go of Ctrl key and click the Delete button.
To delete a continuous range of e-mails, hold down the shift key and click on the first e-mail you want to delete and the last one you want to delete in a range of e-mails. Then release the shift key and click the delete button.
Tip 2 of 3
Droping Favorite Places on the Windows '95 Desktop
If you take one of your favorite place hearts, and drag it onto your
"desktop", it will create an Icon.
Then, the next time you click that Icon,
it will not only start AOL, but go straight to your favorite place.
This is assuming that your password is automatically entered.
Tip 3 of 3
Yes, it's back again for the third month in a row! This tip has resulted in so much positive feedback that I've decided to keep it here on the home page for one more month.

I'm starting this year's AOL Tips with the 3 best tips from 1997. I made
the choices. Please, no complaints!
Tip 1 of 3
Turning off the pop-up advertisements that greet us at sign-on
- use keyword: Marketing Prefs
- choose "Tell Us What Your Pop-Up Preferences Are."
- Once in this screen, you will see a button in the lower right hand corner
which says "Click here if you would like to receive special member benefit
pop-up offers." Click on this button.
- Once you click on this, another box will appear and read: "I prefer not
to receive special member benefit popup offers from AOL."
- You must click on the small square that comes before this sentence.
- An "X" should appear in the box.
- Once you have done this you can click on "OK" and your request will be
completed.
Tip 2 of 3
Clearing the AOL Hourglass in Windows 3.1
Every now and then you find yourself frustrated by the AOL hourglass.
Here's how you break out of the hourglass mode:
- When AOL's hourglass icon appears ...
- Click on the "dash" in the upper lefthand corner of the AOL screen (if you're using Windows '95, instead of a dash, you'll see a tiny AOL icon).
- Now hold down the mouse button and move your pointer over to the Help option.
- In the Help menu click on the About option.
- Click the OK button.

directly to an area of AOL. But did you know that choosing Keyword "Keywords"
will give you a listing of all the AOL Keywords? If you're looking for a
good way to become better aware of what AOL has to offer, study the list
for a few minutes.

Using Hot Keys With AOL
Many AOL features that you normally access by clicking on menu options
can also be accessed using "Hot Key" combinations. You can find some of
these "Hot Key" combinations next to various menu options. The advantage of
using "Hot Keys" is that you can keep your hands on the keyboard and not have
to deal with your mouse or pointer device as often.
Some useful Hot Key combinations
| Ctrl/C | Copies text to the Windows' Clipboard |
| Ctrl/X | Cuts text and places it on the Windows'
Clipboard |
| Ctrl/V | Pastes text to the Windows' Clipboard |
| Ctrl/G | Opens the "Get a Member's Profile" box. |
| Ctrl/L | Opens the "Locate Member Online" box. |
| Ctrl/I | Opens the "Send Instant Message" box. |
| Ctrl/Enter | To send an IM |
| Ctrl/M | Opens a Compose Mail window. |
| Ctrl/TAB | Cycles you through you open AOL windows. |
| Alt/TAB | Cycles you through all open Windows programs. |

Adding extra categories to your Member Profile
I believe this tip is no longer valid. I suspect that the changes AOL made to it's Member Profile Window has made this trick obsolete.
- Pull up any profile besides your own.
- Highlight the space between "Member Name:" and the answer.
- Go to Edit at the top of the screen, and click on Copy.
- Go to Keyword: Profile
- Click at the end of any text box (where you fill in your info).
- Go back up to Edit at the top, and click on Paste (this will create a small square).
- hold Ctrl and press Backspace (this will create a second small
square).
- Decide what you want to call the category, and type the category title!
- Go back up to Edit at the top, and click on Paste (this will create a third square).
- Now fill in the information to go with the category you just
created.
- You can make as many extra categories as the profile will hold.
- Enjoy!
