View File Extensions In Vista
File extensions are the three- or four-character codes, such as .DOC, .TXT, and .JPG that follow a file name and indicate what type of file it is. To make extensions visible, open Control Panel, double-click Folder Options, and select the View tab. Remove the Hide Extensions For Known File Types checkbox and click Apply. (XP is similar)

Make "No" mean "No" In WinXP
One of our pet peeves about Windows’ file management is that it contains a Yes To All button but
not a No To All button. The Yes To All button lets you automatically overwrite all file duplicates when
you are copying files from one location to the next.
A No To All button would be nice so you could
automatically prevent any duplicates from being overwritten.
If you are copying an entire group of files from one folder to another and many of them are duplicates
you do not want to overwrite, the process can be a real pain.
Fortunately you can work around this
limitation. When you copy files from one place to another and Windows prompts you to overwrite the
first file, hold down the SHIFT key and click No. From that point on, No To All will be enabled for that
particular copy session and no duplicates will be overwritten.

Blacklist, whitelist, and just plain shut out spam with this freebie.
Some spam filters assume that you want to see almost any message, and some assume you want to see almost none. ChoiceMail Free combines blacklist and whitelist technology to make sure that your POP e-mail program refuses e-mail from the addresses you block and lets the e-mail you ask to see through without a hitch. Use the built-in permission rules to block likely spam, and add your own touches to customize the blockade.
You can also activate unknown-sender registration, which sends e-mail back to senders whose addresses ChoiceMail doesn't recognize, asking them to identify themselves. Usually only people who really know you and (and like you enough to deal with this small irritation) will respond to such messages. Safe message previewing lets you look at those messages you're not sure about--but without letting potentially infected spam loose on your system.
choicemail is as free as its name indicates, but online support costs $20 per year. The more full-featured ChoiceMail One--which blocks spam to AOL, Hotmail, MSN, and Yahoo--includes the cost of a one-year support subscription. A 14-day trial can be downloaded from the vendor's site.
When I first saw Photo Frame Show I was truly amazed. I had been looking for a frame program that was simple but yet had some pizzazz. It seems like I have found it with this software.
It’s interface is very simple to use and the number of frames they offer is amazing. All you have to do is choose your frame, then insert you picture and save. It can be used in your slide shows to make them more interesting, and really showcase your photos.
You can upload your framed pictures to Facebook, or make a collage for you desktop. Another great thing is you can make ecard to send to family and friends. Just go to the frame show web site and you will find this feature.
You can print your framed projects right from the program and you can also send them by email. When you go to the frame gallery you will find hundreds of different frames in different categories. The only drawback I see is you need to download these frames individually. This program is designed for Windows XP or Vista.
