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.

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.
