Tips of the day: Getting your work done
To start a program, click Start, type the name of a program, and then click a program in a list of results. The underlined letters in menus indicate a keyboard shortcut method to select the item. Just press ALT and the underlined letter. You can minimise all open windows at once; just press WINDOWS LOGO + D. You can use your right mouse button to drag files. Try it and see what happens! To select more than one file or folder, hold down CTRL while you click each item. Deleted files and folders are saved in the Recycle Bin until you empty it. To open a document quickly, you can double-click its icon. If you work on a laptop away from your computer at the office, you can easily keep documents up-to-date on both machines by using OneDrive. You can use long filenames when you save documents. You can even use spaces! You can manage applications that are currently running by pressing CTRL + SHIFT + ESC and clicking Processes. The Shut Down command on the Start menu enables you to safely shut your computer down. You can minimise neck strain by positioning your monitor at eye level. When you type, keep your wrists elevated or use a wrist-pad to minimise strain. Even if you don't shut your computer down at night, you can turn your monitor off to save power.
Lost Laptop
Any ideas as to how I can track a lap top that has been misplaced by my son?
Last update changed DOWNLOADS from Library to List! HELP!
On both my laptop and my PC, after a recent automatic update, my DOWNLOADS folder no longer appears as a Library where I can select the picture I need based on my past configurations in folders followed by individual pictures as I myself named them! Now, the folder appears only as a vertical configuration of my most recently-downloaded or used pictures! I'm unable to navigate, to choose photos I have NOT used recently! This is ridiculous! (My PICTURES folder appears unchanged on my PC, though I think it too is now a vertical "list" on my laptop.) PLEASE SUGGEST A WAY I CAN REVERT TO THE PREVIOUS DEFAULT CONFIGURATION! So far, nothing I've done has remedied this situation! THANK YOU!

OneNote 365, OneNote Web App, and OneNote 2016 - Parity?
For the life of me I cannot understand why there has to be three different forms of OneNote when probably like Excel one would do. Of course I understand that there are mobile versions of Excel, so lets not go there. The other day I decided that my Kindle Fire 10 needed to be replaced. I got my new one, and started in downloading Microsoft apps, like OneNote, from the Google Play Store. When I was done I opened up OneNote and noticed straight away that there was no Sticky Note icon on this version. If this is supposed to be the mobile version, then why is there no Sticky Note Icon? I also installed Office 365 app, and not to my surprise, like on my phone there was my Notes. When I'm on my laptop, I normally choose to use OneNote 2016, as it is more robust, even though I have to open a separate app to use my Sticky Notes, (WBTW I've come to rely on more than I used too) So let me ask this Why can't there be some parity for OneNote. I have the OneNote app on both my phone and tablet, as OneNote is not available in Office 365 on my tablet or phone, like it is in the desktop version of Office 365, but Word, Excel, Sticky Notes are?

What is Productivity?
I'm often baffled by the way people use the word "productivity". It would seem I may have the wrong idea of the definition of productivity. In my view, productivity describes the most direct way to achieve a desired result. It means, responding to a request with a direct action towards producing the desired result : eg: "open the window", should cause someone to open the window. Conversely, when I ask Microsoft to do something , I usually get a response in the form of a question. " Are you sure that's what you want me to do?" or perhaps, " Do you have the authority to request that ?" Very often, on the internet, I get an even more non-productive response. " Sorry, we cannot find that site" or another inane response is , " We notice you are using an ad blocker. We'd like to give you the opportunity to remove it or disable it so we can feed you the kind of crap you put the ad blocker in place to prevent ." Am I wrong in assuming that Microsoft is asking me to remove my,"productivity" measures so they can waste more of my time with unsolicited sales pitches instead of doing what I asked them to do?
Pinning Websites
I'm sure some of you may have noticed, while others may have not, but you can no longer pin websites to the start screen, even by pinning it to your taskbar and dragging to your start screen, it can no longer be done. I've been aware of this, and have working around it, but after this last update....... ok, well we'll leave it at that... I was chatting with Microsoft Tech support this afternoon, and after I finally got them to try and pin a web site to their start screen, they admitted they couldn't do it either. Funny though they had a work around? So here's the work around, and it involve Google Chrome! Open the website you want to pin to your Windows 10 Start Screen in Google Chrome. Yea, you read that right! Once your website is open, click on the three dots located in the upper right hand corner. Scroll down until you sees More Tools. Hover over that and choose Create Shortcut... a pop up will appear where you name your shortcut, and here is where it gets important! You need to check the box that says Open as Window, then click create. Now go back to your start screen and under recently added apps you will see your recently added website. There is one last step. With it there you will not be able to move it around. So while it is in the Recently Added Apps right click and choose Pin to Start Menu. Voila! You're done, and your websites are now back on your start screen. Let's do hope that the boys and girls in Redmond fix this!
