And you keep asking for more to do. More suggestions from us. A glutton for punishment.

I am a little awe struck when you say "should be able to knock out some" and you do. Doesn't seem like something that could be that easily done.

It's easier for me to do what is asked than it is to come up with stuff on my own :P It also makes it easier because it is what you want from the beginning, not something I am assuming you would want.

And BTW doing the registry video sucked... I had to make it over like 4x cause doing it in a Virtual Machine copy of windows XP was just a load of fail. Id get into doing it and the registry entry wouldn't work or the word entry wouldn't be there.

Eventually I broke down and just did it in Win7 native which worked fine.

Ok William I thought of another area and if it already exists tell me where. I would like to know about the Task Manager. What are all the different tabs telling me? Do they help in any way to diagnose a problem? I have seen references to check the Task Manager on occasion in the forum when a problem exists. I know how to use it to quit an application but that is it.

Default Condenced air?

I don't know if you made a video about this already but maybe you could make one about the proper way to use condensed air to clean a PC. I've heard that you can damage components if you don't use it properly so it's of interest to me.

Were actually in the middle of remaking the free email course. That particular subject is included in the revised course.

Spraying out your PC or laptop with compressed air is really easy, metalhead. Just make sure you hold the can upright or it will spew out a mist like vapor and can get something wet.

Pointers: take the side off the desktop if that is what it is and spray from about 6-12 inches away.

spray in 1 second blasts rather than holding the nozzle down.

You can spray the processor fan and other fans while holding it down and it will not harm a thing..making the fans spin really fast is okay. Make sure the spray can is held upright and not sideways.

When the can gets cold take a break or the air will freeze up and spray less hard.

Start with the outside and spray inwards through the fans and hard drive. Then just blast the air from top to bottom back and forth from top to bottom from the side with the case panel off.

Lastly just spray the dust that is resting on the bottom outwards of your case. Real easy no videos needed.

You don't have to worry about harming components too much. I do it on a weekly basis and have never head a problem. There are some vids on youtube if you really must watch something on it. Here-
