Why this blog?

As I’ve worked with Windows over the years, I’ve come across countless little tweaks, solutions, tips and answers to problems. These are usually disovered through a Google search, implemented, then forgotten. The problem is, these Google searches often take an inordinate amount of time, and I’m forced to wade through volumes of posts to find my answer (and inevitably finding numerous posts with the reply, “Hey, I have the same problem too!! Have you found an answer yet?”).

So, with this in mind, I decided to start a list of random fixes, tweaks and tips as I come across them. At first this list was just going to be on my computer. But, I figured it might be valuable as a publicly searchable blog–who knows what solutions might benefit you. So, this is my small contribution to the Windows Solutions universe.

I emphasize *random* and *simple* in the nature of these tips. I’ve done IT technical support for 10 years, and have worked with a wide array of Windows software and PC hardware. My solutions will cover anything from Windows clients (XP, Vista), Windows Server, and even 3rd party software apps. Also, I don’t seek to replace the countless technical explanations of things out there. I try to state things in layman terms and give quick, simple answers to questions.
