Forum Discussion - Tech Tip: Automatically Log In To Your PC On Startup - 1 post(s)

Are you getting tired of logging into your PC every time your computer starts up?  Windows 7 requires that you create a password for your computer when you set it up.  However, if you want your computer to automatically log you in, follow the steps below.

There are some caveats.  This only works upon startup of your computer.  If you lock the computer, you will be required to enter your password.  Also, if you log off, rather than shutting down or rebooting, you will be required to enter your password.

Youtube Repeat

I’m afraid this is going to be a pretty short post, since real life has caught up to me a bit and I don’t have a lot of time.  I really wanted to get to the Windows Backup and Restore post, as I’m pretty excited to showcase what Microsoft has done in Windows 7 regarding backups.  However, it may not happen until this weekend.

Every once in awhile (ok, more often than not), I’ll get a song stuck in my head that I just have to hear multiple times.  Often times, I will listen to a song on repeat and proceed about my work.  However, Youtube doesn’t provide you with a repeat function.  After a quick Google search, I found one solution to the issue.  http://www.youtuberepeat.com.  The idea is to find whatever video you want to watch on Youtube.  In the address bar, you will notice a standard URL to the Youtube video.  In order to make use of youtuberepeat.com, you simply insert the word ‘repeat’ inbetween ‘youtube’ and ‘.com’.  You will then get a screen that explains how youtuberepeat.com works, as well as your video, which will play as long as you can stand it (or close the tab).

Forum Discussion - Tech Tip: Accessing Your Desktop Icons From the Taskbar - 1 post(s)

Let’s say you have several windows open and you need to access something you have from your desktop.  You have a couple of options here.  You can always use the Show Desktop button, which will minimize all of your windows (Windows Key + D, for you keyboard lovers).  However, if your desktop has become cluttered with icons, as many of ours do over time (since it’s a convenient place to put things), sometimes it becomes difficult to weed through the iconic mess.  One way to look at the desktop a different way is to make your desktop accessible from the task bar at the bottom of the screen. To do so, complete the following:
