If you have difficulties with Windows Vista that cause Explorer to crash frequently, you may be growing tired of the blank screens, refreshing Desktop icons and Explorer restarts, or computer reboots that result.

* Open a folder in Explorer. Press the ALT key to temporarily show the menu, and then select "Tools" - "Folder Options".

One of the more unique travel collectibles you may ever see, NYC Garbage offers just that - garbage from New York City.
But this garbage is not just a mishmash of plastic bags and coffee cups; each selection of garbage is arranged by artist Justin Gignac and placed inside a signed, numbered, and dated cube. And, according to the author, each box "is unique and won't leak or smell", so there's little chance of the smell of reeking Reuben sandwiches entering your home.
While you can buy random collections of garbage, seasonal collections are sometimes available such as Yankee Stadium garbage (oh, the peanuts and popcorn!) and garbage collected from the Times Square New Year's Eve celebrations.
If you've ever wanted to buy a gift for someone who seems to alre |

Normally, when you view websites in Internet Explorer, the title of the browser window changes to the currently visited website's title plus the addition of "Windows Internet Explorer" or "Microsoft Internet Explorer" (depending on your Internet Explorer version).
If you'd like, you can use SpywareBlaster to change this title to just about anything you want, such as "My Browser", "Just Surfing", or you can make the browser name blank.
1. From SpywareBlaster, click the "Tools" image on the left.
2. Click the "Misc. IE Settings" link that appears.
3. Underneath "Internet Explorer customizations", enter the text you want displayed next to webpage titles in Internet Explorer's title bar. Then, click the "Apply" button to make the change.
