iwoagirl2006, Thank you for the info on Microsoft PowerToys, I never heard of it before now. I will have to look this over, it sounds pretty neat. pkponder, is there a check next to Block Images and other external content in HTML email? There is no checkmark in that box. What type of picture file are you attempting to attach? I have some pictures from my camera (Kodak easyshare camera)and I took them from the Kodak gallery and transfered them into a folder. I then resized some of those pictures. I right click on the picture itself then choose send to, then Mail Recipient and it goes to Outlook Express. It's worked before but not now. I just happened to notice when I went to my other clipart folders that when I put my mouse on a clipart it is now showing Kodak Easyshare, those cliparts did not come from Kodak Easyshare they came from the Microsoft website where I got them from Microsoft Publisher to make cards. Why did Kodak easyshare take over my cliparts and how do I get it back to normal? Now I know what has happened the Kodak software is set as the default picture viewer. I don't know how that happened. How do I Change the application back to Windows Media Viewer? When it is set to the Media Viewer I can do everything in Outlook Express as I use to and open the paperclip to see the pictures that come in to me. The search that I did really doesn't help me much with this problem but it did let me know what happened and when I checked out every picture, clipart etc that I have in my folders it shows Kodak Easyshare .gif or jpeg etc. Now that I know what the problem is I need to know how to get my clipart etc to open with the Windows Picture Viewer. Any idea's? thirdfrt!!!

A file can contain anything. Under Windows the convention was established that the characters following the last period in a file name, called the file "extension", tells you what kind of data that file contains. ".EXE", for example, is an EXEcutable program. ".JPG" is a jpeg compressed image file, ".TXT" is a plain text file, and so on. In addition to knowing what type of data a file contains, Windows also needs to know what program should be used to access that file. If that information is missing, then "This file does not have a program associated with it..." is one of the possible error messages.

how old are your windows? the types of glass that filters out UV has improved massively over the years. LoE glass can also help keep heat in during the winter too. however, note that the "stronger" the UV protection in the glass, the more greenish the windows appear on the outside. I've also seen solar sheer curtains at places like bed bath and beyond, but I don't know how well they actually perform. sheer roller shades: there are some kinds with a silver backing -- which I can only imagine work better than the older style. I don't know what brands though, ask a window covering store. we have the older style of solar shades in dark brown. although the dark color helps cut out more light, they really heat up in the sun and you can feel it when you get near the windows. so I think the silver backed ones will be a greater advantage.

Nope! The black spots will remain in place until the plant discards that leaf. I'd also question what exactly was your 'soap and water solution' comprised of and in what proportions. Unless you know what you are doing and the properties of the ingredients you are using, homemade plant remedies often cause more problems than they solve. What insects were you trying to control?
