Usually most drives on PC's nowadays come partitioned into two sections. One partition is storing your whole operating system as it was when it was purchased (maybe even a few programs as well). This if for when you want to wipe your machine and it reloads itself from that partition (of course that partition is not wiped). The other partition has your "working" operating system (otherwise the operating system that your computer is using when you boot up your computer). That same "working" partition is where you would store your files, and load any programs that you are using. The area used for storage is shown in your computer info. Hope this helps.

Thank you DA, She told me that her DIL deleted the Kodak software. I had her check the rest of her files by doing a search and everything is gone. She did it in Add/Remove Programs and got rid of whatever was left. We checked that out over the phone. She has Irfanview downloaded on her computer but she did that quite some time back. Will she have to delete it and start over or can she go into Irfanview and select image associations from the current Irfanview that she already has? If so where would it be located at in Irfanview? Instructions would greatly be appreciated. Thank you DA. thirdfrt!!!

You most likely need to delete cookies and temp files if you computer does not load web sites and also is slow. Go to your tool bar menu and since you are on AOL , click on the icon of "settings". Then a page will come up showing an idex for your AOL experiences. Go to INternet settings ( underneath the I in the index alphabet) and double-click to open the settings window. There are tabs at the top that are sort of like headlines. Click on settings and when you see the words cookies, temp folders etc., click delete. *** Remember that when you delete cookies, you will have to re-enter your User ID and Password for all forums and special sites that require them. Before you delete them , make a new folder that is under MY documents and title it as "My User ID and Passwords " so that you can easily find them to re-enter them on the sites that need them ( including this site). I have used AOL for 6-8 years and do not have any bad experiences with it and many people still criticise it from old , long ago issues and they have not bothered to re-check it's capabilities and will tell you to dump it, because they have a narrow old mind-set. I have the MAX in hard drive space and memory and processor, and every 3 months, I now know that pages may not load or even give me a "timed out" message, and that means I need to take 10 minutes to delete cookies and temp files. Good luck and always feel free to ask questions , even if some responders come across as harsh or critical. They have forgotten what it means to be brand new in using a computer and learning their way around all of the settings and programs. There is a Computer Forum on this THS site and there are thousands of Q and A and search function and archive and the people there will also be of enormous help to you. Patricia

a bump out is a framed section that the fireplace goes into. Lets say you want to install a fireplace on a exterior wall that will be flush with the inside wall. The fireplace would extend beyond they wall to the outside,you would have to frame a little box around the fireplce to protect it from the elements. The bump out construction is just as important as the house construction, but it gets over looked as far as making sure that its insulated and constructed properly.
