 |
|
This is so bloody annoying. I had to type out entire links I just sent to someone.
Is there some way I can change this? I don't see anywhere in the Options section to do this. |

| I recently got saddled with a hotmail account through an inherited job situation & I really dont like it. Seems like they're doing everything possible to make a free account user-unfriendly. |

I like the fact that my account name is simply my name. It makes it easy to give out. Of course I could just POP everything. |

Thanks. That works. I can't do it with the mouse but that'll save me some time. |

Beats me. It's been like this for 3 or 4 months now.
I don't have my name at yahoo because it was gone when I set up that account in 2000. |

|
|
I was having trouble copying and pasting for the last few days, just simple things, neither keyboard shortcuts or right clicking worked for me......
ran my virus checker, found some little worms that didn't seem to be doing anything, guess what? My copying and pasting is now working fine.
Whether these worm's whole purpose in life was to stop me copying, or whether they had a more devious plan, i will never know.
btw my virus checker is Titanium form Pandasoftware.com it's a good 'un |
