Nishat from Dhaka,Bangladesh writes: I am in a domain.when I first open my computer it shows preparing desktop.On the desktop all my files are gone. Each time I open my computer the same thing happens.Can you show me the solution of this problem,please? Hi Nishat! Unfortunately, there is not a fix for this problem, unless you talk to your domain administrator. It sounds like the administrator has set up accounts that reset at each log in, generally called "roaming profiles". The main reason for this is for security: if someone changes something that causes problems, it would be erased as soon as that person logs off. Many businesses and schools choose to have user profiles and computers set up this way to prevent any changes that can affect the performance of the machine, especially if there are multiple users of the machine. Thanks for the question! ~Audra Click here to rate this tip | Printer friendly version

Sylvia from NYC writes: Very often in reading your tech tips, there is a question or tip that I would like to print for future reference, but don't want to print the entire e-mail. Is there a way of highlighting a portion to print just that part. If not, please explain if and how it can be done. Thanx. Sylvia, for our tips, it is pretty easy. At the bottom of each article in the newsletter, you'll notice the option to click on a printer friendly version of the article. When you click on that link, you'll be taken to a page like this that displays the article in a print-friendly format. Many websites offer printer-friendly versions of articles. For example if I choose print recipe on this site… A printer-friendly version of just the recipe I want and without any additional information from the website. Another option would be to copy the information you wish to print by clicking at the beginning, holding down shift and clicking at the end. You can then press the Ctrl key + C or right click on the selection and select Copy. Then open a new document in a program like Word or Open Office and press Ctrl +V or right click and select Paste. The information will then appear in the document. You can then save it and print it. ~ Cynthia Click here to rate this tip | Printer friendly version Do you have a question for us? Ask it here!
Returning Electronics The Right Way It's a sad fact of life that some items we purchase or receive as gifts, just aren't going to work. Or perhaps they won't meet our needs for other reasons. That means it's time to return them to the store or mail them back to the online retailer where you purchased it. With expensive electronics, it can be especially tricky. Most places are far more picky about $300 items than they are about accepting $10 returns. So here are some tips for getting a refund or a replacement with as little pain as possible for both you and the retailer. First of all... Want more? Head on over to WorldStart! The early days of software were simple times: you purchased a floppy disk with a piece of software on it and you could use it wherever you wanted for an unlimited amount of time. Fast forward 40 years and we're being offered many popular software packages as subscriptions or limited-time versions, but why? What is the advantage for software developers and what does it mean for consumers? Software Developers Reason For Subscriptions: Money. In the early days of software things like patches, online galleries, cloud services or integration into social media sites were not an issue. Once you finished writing your software you sold it, that was all the money you needed to invest in programmers and developers. These days, popular programs like photo editing programs need to support the latest cameras, virus scanners need to be constantly updated with new detection definitions and algorithms, office software is expected to work in the cloud and many more examples just like this. This requires companies to have teams continually update programs. That requires expensive staff, distribution servers and software. If you pay for a subscription, they can guarantee a revenue stream to pay for these updates. This brings about the natural question: Why don't they just build that support cost into the initial price of the software? Click on WorldStart to learn more!
Eugene from Chino California asked us: "Is there a simplified tree, maybe in several pages, to show what is in Windows 7 in such things as the control panel or any of the solution devices which are used for maintaining a PC?" We thought that was a great idea and decided to do a special series. In part one we looked at System and Security. In part 2 we checked out Network and Internet. Part three was Hardware and Software. For part 4, we've got a look at Programs.
