tinyurl.com for more info! 42% of seniors age 65-73 and 70% of those 74+ are not online. This is mostly because they find computer s too complex and difficult to use and not because they don’t want to. From start-up to shutdown, we’ve created a way that is most suited for seniors and anyone who may have visual problems, learning difficulties, cognitive impairment or, unfortunately, a neurological disease of some sort to use their PC. Apart from being an antidote to loneliness, the Internet can provide seniors a way to reengage with their families in the modern age! tinyurl.com

We clean Temporary Files, Defragment the Registry, Disable Start up Items, and Uninstall Unused Software. Chapters Introduction (00:00) Overview (01:50) Demonstration (14:26) Final Thoughts (29:34) Class Notes Introduction Windows PC’s slow down over time due to normal use.

Overview CCleaner is currently FREE to use Windows creates temporary files while you are using the computer. These files can the cause problems. Many people have 5-10GB of temp data on their PC’s.

Did an upgrade to Windows 7 today on my PC and now I have some confusing shit going on. If one of you folks that sees this knows this shit better than I do I’d certainly appreciate the help. Issue1: Where the hell is my main administrator account?? Issue2: Where did all my music / documents / pictures and other shit go, since the free space on the hard drive suggests everything is still there?? This is nothing that really raies my blood pressure too high since I had already moved everything from this PC over to my mac ages ago.

This tutorial will show you how to enable and disable the hidden admin account that is within your operating system which microsoft decided to hide. You will need to use cmd (command prompt) to enable and disable it and its best to use this account if you are troubleshooting problems or need to change anything within the system. To enable in cmd use “net user administrator /active:yes” (without the “”) and to disable it use “net user administrator /active:no” (without the “”) make sure to right click and run as an administrator to use the command in cmd. Hope this helps alot of you guys out and please leave me your comments and feedback on this.
