1. Getting Windows 98 to remember my internet password? Clicking the "Save Password" box has no effect.
Visit www.peakpeak.com for instuctions.

2. Quickly shut down those windows that pop up on the screen when i visit certain websites. Pressing and holding the Alt + F4 key and Ctrl + W key will make that particular window close. Pop Up Squasher from www.webattack.com

3. Print out a web page when it doesn't print properly.
Try copying and pasting the text and images you want from the page into Microsoft Word Then you can change the fonr types and sizes, as well as easily save a copy if you want to.

4. Stop my computer from wasting time by "Logging on to Network" when it connects to the
internet.

Click Start, Programs, Accessories, Communications, Dial-Up Networking. Right click your internet connection, and click Properties. Click Server Types, and uncheck everything except for 'Enable Software Compression' and 'TCP/IP'.

5. Restart a download that stopped halfway through because I got disconnected from the
internet.

6. Set up Outlook Express so two different people can use it.
In Outlook Express, click File, and Identities. Click Add new Identity. Type in a name for the
identity, and a password if you want one. You can switch identities by clicking File, and Switch Identities. This keeps user accounts and emails seperate.
