1) Peeking thru WINDOWS "Desktop Undo"

When rearranging items on your Desktop, it's easy to
accidentally drag an icon to the Recycle Bin, or some other
wrong folder. Quickly Undo this type of error with
Ctrl-Z, the same key combination used to Undo in MS Office.

2) FANTASTIC FILE FIND! "CleanUp 2.0" [770 Kb/EXE]

As you surf, thousands upon thousands of files are
downloaded and stored on your hard drive. Pictures, ads,
cookies, text, etc. all take up residence on your valuable
real estate.

Use CleanUp to remove all those "temporary" files that
clutter up your drives. CleanUp also empties the IE cache,
the History folder, the Recent Documents folder; optionally
also Cookies and Favorites folders and eliminate all
newsgroup subscriptions.

3) SEEN THESE SITES? "Halloween Guide/Lawnchair Pilot"

Here's my recommendation for a Halloween site -
You'll find links to rancid recipes and ghostly stories,
crafts, party ideas, costume tips and even a
Haunted University.

"A TWA pilot first spotted Larry. He radioed the tower
and described passing a guy in a lawn chair...with a gun!"

Read the bittersweet tale of the man who soared to fame
by rigging 42 weather balloons to a lawn chair. This is
the saga of Larry Walters, the truck driver with no pilot
or balloon training, who spent about two hours aloft more
than 16,000 feet (3 miles) above Long Beach, California!
Complete with newspaper account, photos, and an audio
file of Larry's CB conversation with friends and REACT.

4) EMAIL FUNNIES "TuffKitty" [1770 Kb/MPG]

A feline funny video clip this week for cat lovers. No
matter what species you are, there's only so much youthful
"paws"turing one can tolerate before you're catapulted into
action.

5) The MOUS Hole - "Wrap It Up"

Many times when working in Excel, a column heading is
longer than the width of the cell. You could widen the
column, but this frequently results in an unwieldy and
less readable layout. Instead of changing the column
width, try allowing the text inside the cell to Wrap:

I) Select the cell(s) you'd like to wrap

II) Format | Cells | Alignment tab

III) Turn on Text Control option to Wrap Text | OK.

Try changing the cell alignment after you've wrapped
a cell, this sometimes results in a sharper look.

6) THEY SAID IT

"Reality Prevails." - Steve Gibson

7) HODGEPODGE

A 12 year old who used "spy-upon" software to read his
teachers' email is the Bizarre story of the week, while the
NFTB's salute to Halloween parties is the Photo Funny:
