WHAT IS A PATH?

Accessing folders and files in a PC is similar to the way you access files in a filing cabinet. In a filing cabinet, each drawer holds hanging folders. Within each of these you can have files as well as abc folders that contain files. You can't put abc folders inside other abc folders though.
In a PC you have much more flexibility. For example, one folder can have 10 folders and many files in it. Each of those can have 10 folders and many files inside it and so on. You can expand the folder within a folder structure as deep and wide as you want to. As you navigate through folders to the location of a specific file, you are following a path. A path always begins with the hard drive letter and then lists in order the folders you go through to get to the file. For example, iexplore.exe is the program that opens and runs the Internet Explorer browser. This program is found in the 'Internet Explorer' folder which is in the 'Program Files' folder. The complete path to iexplore.exe is: C:\program files\internet explorer\iexplore.exe.

WHAT IS THE RECYCLE BIN

The recycle bin can be found in Windows Explorer. A shortcut to the Recycle Bin is also on the Desktop. Any time you delete an item (folder, file or icon) it ends up in the Recycle Bin. It is a special area where deleted items remain until you restore them or permanently delete them. Restoring items
Open the Recycle Bin and select the item to be restored with the right mouse button.
Choose select 'restore' from the menu that appears and the item is restored to it's original location. Deleting items
Click 'File' on the menu bar and select 'Empty Recycle Bin' and all the items are erased. If your sound is on, you will hear what sounds like paper being crumpled up.
If you only want to delete specific items, select them. Then hit the 'Delete' key.

SET YOUR MODEM'S MAX SPEED

Double click the Modem icon in the control panel. The 'Modem Options' window appears. Two tabs should appear, 'General' and 'Diagnostics'. Select the 'General' tab, then select 'Properties'. which opens and has a 'Maximum Speed' box about half way down.
Open the box and select 115,200, then 'OK'. If you have a 56kb/s modem this setting won't hurt it, but a setting of 9600 could slow it down.

Muslims follow a religion of peace, mercy, and forgiveness, and the majority have nothing to do with the extremely grave events which have come to be associated with their faith.
