Make iGoogle Your Startup Page in Microsoft Outlook

I m a regular user of Microsoft outlook and I use iGoogle as my dashboard and as I m in habit of trying new things on my Windows XP desktop, I tried to combine both Microsoft outlook and iGoogle, which is really very simple to do…

In order to combine both of them, we have to create a new folder, and then give it a suitable name accordingly. Now right click on the new folder and choose properties, and then go to homepage tab, check the box for “Show my homepage by default for this folder”. Than write the url of iGoogle, which is - http://www.google.com/ig

You can change that anytime, and make any other web page as your homepage.

By now, we can view our iGoogle page as our homepage by just clicking on the folder.

Set iGoogle as the Default Startup Page

Open up the Options panel through Tools \ Options on the menu, and then choose the Advanced Options button on the other tab.

You'll see a setting for "Startup in this folder" with a Browse button next to it. Click that button and choose the iGoogle folder as your startup page.

Now when you startup Outlook, you'll be taken directly to your iGoogle dashboard and for the first time it asks for login.

Find a Forgotten Password Saved in Firefox

Personally, I like Mozilla Firefox and I have been using it for years. Though I m not against Internet Explorer. But honestly speaking I like firefox because of its features and add ons.

Firefox, like many popular browsers, has a built-in functionality to save passwords. I often use the save password feature so often that I've completely forgotten my passwords when I need to login to the same website on another computer. But I got an easy way to locate those saved passwords.

In Firefox, navigate to the Tools \ Options menu item. Select the Privacy button, the Passwords tab, and then click on View Saved Passwords. You'll be presented with this screen:

Click the Show Passwords button, and navigate down to the website password you are looking for.

For me this was great help, as I tend to forget my passwords and the best feature in these browsers is that they offer to remember passwords…

How to Create and Share an iGoogle Tab

I m a kind of a surfer who likes to open multiple sites open at once, it was a real pain to have to use the back button or click through open windows to go from site to site. Earlier I thought it was only Firefox browser which had tabbed browsing feature, but it came as a surprise that opera browser always had tabbed browsing feature. Well let’s get back to do the topic...

What does this have to do with iGoogle? Everything. If you have your own iGoogle page, and you really should, then you know how easy it is to get overwhelmed with gadgets on your page, just like it was easy to get overwhelmed with too many open websites.  Once again, tabs are here to save the day, or at least reduce gadget overload, by giving you the option to put your gadgets on different pages instead of all in one place. Tabs act as a table of contents that lists the name of each page (the title of the tab) and the gadgets that are on that page.

If you look at the left-hand side of your iGoogle page, you'll notice a tab that's labeled "Home" and has links underneath that open each of the gadgets you have on your homepage. Here's what the Home tab looks like on the iGoogle homepage:

You can categorize your gadgets by adding a tab.  Let's say you'd like to put all of your productivity gadgets like your calendar, e-mail and to do list on one page. To add your first new tab, click the arrow to the right of Home on your Home tab and choose "Add a Tab" from the dropdown menu and open the "Add a tab" dialog window.   

You’ll be familiar with the "I'm Feeling Lucky" option. If you know what type of tab you'd like to add but aren't sure what gadgets to put on the page, let iGoogle do it for you. Just type in a search term, click the box next to "I'm feeling lucky…" and like magic, you have a new tab already populated with great gadgets.     

Not only are tabs a great way to beat gadget overload by putting your gadgets on different pages, they also make it easy to navigate to the gadget you want to use by clicking on the tab (page) that contains the gadget or clicking on the name of the individual gadget listed on the tab to open the gadget page. Once you've created one new tab, you can create more by clicking the arrow to the right of the tab that's currently open. You can also add and remove gadgets, change the theme of your iGoogle pages and even change the layout of the page by clicking "Edit this tab" to open the Preferences dialog window. 

If you think somebody else might like your tabs, you can send the tabs to them by choosing the Share this tab option from the dropdown menu in your Microsoft Windows to the right of the  tab you want to share (the same one you used to Add a Tab). This option allows you to share some or all of the gadgets on the tabbed page with others. Just check the box next to each gadget you want to share and enter the email addresses of the people with whom you want to share. Make sure you include a message letting them know how the gadgets have helped you! You can also receive a copy of the email you send by checking the "Send me a copy…" option.

What sorts of tabs might you be interested in adding besides your Home tab? On my own personal iGoogle page, I have tabs for Productivity Tools, News, Music and Contacts.  

See Productivity gadgets on YOUR iGoogle Homepage

I also like to keep up with the news, so I have a tabbed page that contains my favorite news sources. I always check my Google Reader first thing. Other favorite news gadgets include NPR and USAToday. I also like to keep up with technology and entertainment news so I have gadgets for PC World's Top Technology News and Yahoo Entertainment News.

See News gadgets on YOUR iGoogle Homepage

r. I also like to check out the latest music videos so I have the You Tube and Yahoo Music Video gadgets on my Music page.

See Music gadgets on YOUR iGoogle Homepage

Since I like to keep up with friends, colleagues and family, I created a tab for Contacts. I used the "I'm feeling lucky…" option to magically create a contact page already populated with gadgets. Now I can see my Gmail contacts (Gmail Contact Manager Gadget), my Google Talk (Google Talk gadget) contacts and even my Twitter friends all on one page!

This will let you get to the menus if you really want to. (Or you could use the shortcut key) 

Alternatively, you can add a "Personal Menu" button to your toolbar, and customize a couple of frequently used items on it. Just right-click \ Customize on the toolbar, and choose the shiny new "Menu" button shown on the left hand side of this screenshot, and drag it to your toolbar somewhere in your Microsoft Windows Vista.

Now you can edit the menus on that button, and choose whatever items that you would like to have appear.

I usually use Mozilla Firefox on my operating system but after the launch of Google chrome I have started using it because of its speed. And red it somewhere that you can drag the tab from Mozilla Firefox to Google chrome. Si I couldn’t wait to try it out. So, I tried doing this.  Firstly, I dragged tab from Mozilla Firefox to Google chrome...that was very simple just pick that tab with mouse and put it on Google chrome’s new tab.

And when it came from Google chrome to Mozilla Firefox... just click on the url of the webpage in Google chrome, which can be selected by one click on the address bar and the simply drag it to Mozilla Firefox. Mozilla will open that webpage it in its browser. Simple isn’t  it.. next time when you are not able to open a website in Mozilla just drag it .. And if u are sound with the marketing things or want to check PR or cache ..just drag the tab from Google chrome to Mozilla Firefox.

What else, this dragging thing works for both bookmarks and links—in fact, you can grab the link from one browser and drop it on the bookmarks bar of the other.

 It’s a very useful thing for the people who work on both the browsers on daily basis.

Few days back my mother wanted some new add-ons on her computer. She has a Dell computer which I guess she has been using it for ages. So I told her that I will do it for her. I downloaded some of the firefox add-ons and extensions for her to make it easy for her. While downloading one thing which was really annoying was that it was showing the list of the previous downloads. In one way it is a good thing… you can search through the items downloaded. But on the other hand it is a computer security issue... clearing your private data before anyone can access that. The most important thing is if you have a shared computer or laptop, privacy and PC security may very well be the main concern. But changing some of the settings can certainly help.

Open Firefox and click on Tools \ Options and then the Privacy tab.  Under Private Data check the box “Always clear my private data….” and uncheck “Ask me before clearing …” then click on the Setting button.

In the Clear Private Data box check “Download History” and any other download add-on you might have which appears. And then click OK.

Finally while still in Options, click on the Main tab and under Downloads, uncheck “Show the Downloads window …” and click OK to get out of options and accept all the changes.

Now you will not see the Download box pop up and every time you close out of Firefox all download history is cleared.

It is really very simple… do give it a try... if you are not able to do it or if you have any other technical problem with computers, laptops, virus removal, spyware issues, digital camera, printer, scanner…, give us a call on 1800602586, for technical support and computer support.
