Computing : Internet

(26) To change file associations is perhaps not as obvious as you would think, especially if you have used Archimedes in the past where you simply type in the ending that you want. What you have to do is: hold down shift when you right click a file. Then choose open with and select an application from the list.



(27) Problems connecting to the internet? Who doesn't have them! If you can connect to your ISp then not log-on, then try this: double click on network and choose dial-up adaptor. Click on the Properties button, followed by Advanced. Set Record a log file to Yes and try connecting as normal. You can then view exactly what's happening in the WindowsPpplog.txt file.

(29) Want a scientific calculator but don't want the expense of buying one? Well you can do it on your computer! The calculator that loads up there is not as simple as it seems. All you have to do is click on View, Scientific, and there you go - the scientific calculator is there right before your eyes.
