What's New at Linda's Computer Stop

What can I say?  It's summer and I'm feeling lazy so I haven't done as much to my site as usual.  I'm sure it's just a temporary setback and I will get moving again in the Fall.  This heat wave has just been KILLING me!!

But, I did add a few things you might want to check out.

A couple more articles I wrote for TechTrax are reprinted here.

And, Vic Ferri's added a whole bunch of new VB Freebies to our Side by Side page.  Along with his free Temp Converter, we now also offer the following for free download:

  • Port 139 Blocker
  • Empty Recycle Bin
  • Show/Hide Files

Yep, they are all free to download here:

And, to help keep these freebies coming, please go here and check out his great sponsors...some of the best prices I've ever seen for quality printer cartridges and supplies!  Remember to support "the little guy"!


And, as usual, more links have been added to my favorite links here:
http://personal-computer-tutor.com/internet.htm

And, if you missed any of the other new stuff I added to the site in the past few months, you can always go here and see it all:
http://personal-computer-tutor.com/new.htm


Thanks for your patronage of my site and ezine.  Drop me a line any time and let me know of any additions you can think of.  I may be busy, but I'm always open to suggestions.

Subscribers' Exclusive Tip

Links to Outlook Contacts in Excel.

Let's say  you have a worksheet that includes a lot of customer names who are also in your Outlook Contacts. You can easily make their names clickable links that will open up their Outlook Contact Form.

Here's how:

In this example I used my buddy Hal Cardona's info.  In cell A1, I entered his name, "Hal Cardona", then I went to the Insert Menu and chose Hyperlink (or you can click on the Hyperlink button on Excel's Standard Toolbar or simply hit ctrl+k).  When this box comes up, I see Hal Cardona in the box that says "Text to display" and all I do is type the following in the box that says "Address:"

Outlook:Contacts/~Hal Cardona

Now, when I click on Hal's Name, it opens his Contact Form in Outlook!
