Show #32 – It’s Getting Cloudy Out
Listener Question: I have a dual monitor setup on Windows Vista. On my left monitor I currently have to move my mouse off screen to the left to get my mouse to go on my monitor on the right. How can I make it so that I would bring my mouse from one monitor towards the other.
Answer:
- In Windows Vista go to the control panel.
- Open ‘Personalization’
- Click on the ‘Display Settings’ link
- In the monitor section, you should see two monitors 1 & 2
- Click and drag one of the monitors to the other side of the other monitor.
- Click ‘Apply’ and ‘OK’.
- Now try it.
In Windows XP go to Control panel
- Go to Display
- Go to the Settings tab
- You should see two monitors 1 & 2
- Click and drag one of the monitors to the other site of the other monitor
- Click ‘APPLY and ‘OK’
TIPS for the Week:
In Internet explorer, you don’t have to type in a full .COM website name like www.techwithmike.com. Enter just techwithmike and CTRL-ENTER. The www and the .com will be added tot he URL automatically. This will only work with .com URL’s.
Also to open a link in a new window quicker than right clicking on it and selecting ‘Open In New Window’ all you have to do is hold down the Shift key and click the link.
