When you view large images, Internet Explorer’s default settings make the browser resize the image to fit within the browser window. If you would like to see the image in its original size instead, you can disable this functionality.
Outlook’s calendar displays normally displays dates in a consecutive manner. Sometimes, however, it is useful to view several nonconsecutive dates on your Calendar.
Signatures are the text and/or pictures that are automatically placed at the end of the emails you send out. If you’ve put some time and energy into creating your signature(s), then you should make a backup so you have it if disaster strikes (or if you are changing computers).
While the Leopard’s Dock is a amazingly useful tool, it can be rather unforgiving if you have a mishap. For example, I was dragging the photos from Christmas to a folder on my Dock. I missed the folder and now I have a tiny Dock with very tiny icons. Such a mess is a major pain to clean up by removing each image (or file) from the dock. There is an easier way.

New Year’s Eve 2008 will forever be linked to the day all the Zunes died. Specifically, today was the day that all the 30G zunes with the latest firmware died. The Zune will attempt to boot up and then just freezes. Trying to let the battery run down and hard reset attempts are unsuccessful.
An alias functions in much the same way as a Windows shortcut. It provides an icon that points to the original file and this icon can be placed anywhere (in a stack on the dock, the desktop, etc) while requiring minimal storage space. Using the File –> Make Alias method takes a little more effort than I like, since not ony do you have to select the items from the menu, you have to clean up the alias name so that it no longer includes the word “alias.”
When you launch an application, its dock icon will bounce until the application appears. If you find this annoying, you can easily get rid of it and be done with this distraction.
By default, Outlook’s To-Do Bar only displays the current month’s calendar. While this is helpful, it does little for providing a quick reference for looking at future months. You can configure the To-Do Bar to display multiple months and have a quick view of not only the current month, but the next few months as well.
