If you are like me and own a Tracfone and cannot get your mobile data to work. This is your day of deliverance and a happy dance moment.
I purchased a Tracfone for my wife a few months ago and called and called and called because our Mobile Data icon would not show up, and we couldn’t get it fixed from the 1st tier technical support.
TODAY, I was transferred to my Tracfone HERO- JOHN – Here’s the fix…
Go to Access Point Names under the Settings>>Connections>>Mobile Networks>>Access Point Names..there is where the solution is found:
Our phone had two lines that said TRACFONE.VZWINTERNET
One was selected with a Blue point in the circle..Click on it and edit the name to:
VZWINTERNET
Then click OK, then click on the 3 dots in the right corner and click on SAVE.
Go to Chrome or Google and search the Internet..
You will also see a LTE icon with an up and down arrow (showing that your Mobile Data is working!!)
It took me six months to find this solution, if it works make a one time payment to my paypal (email below). Thanks

Sometimes you just want to rid yourself of those “error reporting pop ups. They appear like this:
So, how do you rid yourself permanently from them? Here’s a good article I found this morning.
* You can easily create links that go directly to a specific time in a YouTube video — ideal for emailing or sharing on social media. To do this, just add &t=#m#s to the end of the video’s URL, replacing the # signs with the number of minutes and seconds you want to link to. For example, the link:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wKF-TO2HEuQ&t=15m30s
takes you to the 15 minute and 30 second mark on the latest MakeUseOf podcast video.

While working at a temp assignment in Charlotte I was forced back to working with Internet Explorer (I moved onto Chrome a year ago and love it).

The key to maximizing your “computer” work-life is to comprehend, to retain and to implement a knowledge of modifier keys so that:
There are 4 modifier keys that you should learn or know:
Alt – This modifier key (along with a second key) will help you to activate all your menus and even use the new Windows 7 ribbon. I remember it this way (A LT (looks like “a list”)
Control – This key is a power house key (using the control key with arrows or with the Home / End key) is like charging your keyboard with the energizer bunny. (BAAAM!)
Shift – is the anchor key (something that is held down with weight). By using this key you can highlight text.
Windows – is used with the Operating System not necessarily with the applications.

For us “newer” guys on the block, the run command is an old tool that has been around a long time.
However, it has the teeth to do neat and quick functions.
You can access the control panel through the run command by using the word
control and then adding other words as well such as:
control admintools
control color
control desktop
To access wizards you will use two components:
an abbreviation and the letters “wiz” and “.cpl” for control panel; i.e.
Accessibility Controls access.cpl
Add Hardware Wizard hdwwiz.cpl
Add/Remove Programs appwiz.cpl
Date and Time Properties timedate.cpl
Display Properties desk.cpl
You may also quickly access you application (must be installed), like
Adobe Acrobat acrobat
Adobe Photoshop photoshop
Basic Media Player mplay32
Windows Media Player dvdplay
Calculator calc
Chrome chrome
Firefox firefox
Internet Explorer iexplore
Access msaccess
Infopath infopath
Publisher mspub
Excel excel
Outlook outlook
Word winword
Power Point powerpnt
Notepad notepad
Skype “C:\Program Files\Skype\Phone\Skype.exe” (with quotes)
Likewise you can go directly to your drives and folders, if you know the path:
C: Drive c://Auto (only on my drive)
And then for your experts, the run commands can take you to your services and utilities:
Check Disk Utility chkdsk
Character Map charmap
Disk Cleanup Utility cleanmgr
Disk Defragment dfrg.msc
Clipboard Viewer clipbrd
Component Services dcomcnfg
