Usually, after working in safe mode, your computer will boot normally the next time you turn it
 on, but if it doesn't, here's how you can fix it.
 To get out of safe mode, turn your computer off and then turn it back on.
 Clicking the reboot option sometimes works the best.
If your computer does not boot normally, then follow these steps:

1.) Boot up in safe mode.
2.) Go Start, Run
3.) Type in "msconfig.exe."
4.) This will give you the msconfig screen.
5.) Click the BOOT.INI tab and unselect the /SAFEBOOT check box.
6.) Restart your computer.

If you receive a forwarded e-mail and  there's a ton of  little carets (>>>) in
the e-mail, there's no way to eliminate all of those carets, unless you backspace them all,
but there is something you can do to prevent more of the carets from showing up.
In Outlook Express, go to Tools, Options and click on the Send tab. In there, look for the
Plain Text Settings button and click on that. Next, make sure the box that says
"Indent the original text with (carets) when replying or forwarding" is unchecked.
This will stop any additional carets from getting into the e-mail.

If you would like to  create a system restore point:

1. Click Start, All Programs, Accessories, System Tools, System Restore.

2. For Classic Start Menu: Click Start, Programs, Accessories, System Tools, System Restore.

3. Click "Create a restore point" and then click Next.

4. In the restore point description box, type a name to identify this particular point.
System restore automatically adds the date and time that this restore point was created to
the name.

5. To finish creating this restore point, click Create.

Wallpaper Color

Do you like to use your own pictures for your computer's desktop wallpaper?
 As long as you have the picture saved on your computer, you can right click on your desktop,
 choose Properties, click on the Desktop tab and hit the Browse button to search for it.
 When you find the one you want, select it and then you just hit OK for the picture to become
 your wallpaper.

When you do this, you can also choose for the picture to be centered on your screen,
 stretched out across your whole monitor or tiled. Most people like to have it centered.
To center your picture, choose Center under the Position drop down menu.

You can also change the background color to make it all look prettier.
Choose a color that goes well with the colors in the picture.

To pick your color, go back to the Desktop tab under the Display Properties and use the drop
 down menu that says Color. You can choose from the original colors they have or hit other
for more options. You also want to make sure you choose a color that shows your icons well.
 Don't use a really dark or really light color, because they'll be harder to see. Once you have
the colors the way you want them, just hit OK and your masterpiece will come alive!

Ciao for now....Image
