Social Book Marking

I'm learning more and more about how social bookmarking works and how to speed the process up. I'm using Diigo.com to bookmark and to post to some of my blogs. I was doing the same thing with my Ironkey but the browser kept locking up the computer and shutting it down. I've got to find out what I've done that causes that.

How to Uninstall a Program in XP

The Transcript

Uninstall Programs in Windows XP

Hi, I'm Don Schechter with About.com Computing. Today I'll show you how to uninstall programs on Windows XP.
Why Uninstall Programs in Windows?You might want to uninstall software on your computer to free up hard drive space or if you are, for example, replacing one antivirus program with another.
Enter the Window's Control PanelCLICK Start / Control Panel, or if in classic view,
CLICK Start / Settings / Control Panel To check what mode you are in, you can right click on the start menu and go to properties.

Here you can choose the classic start menu which I actually prefer. Once you click on the control panel, double click 'Add or Remove Programs.'

Find a Program to UninstallYou can see that the top icon, 'change or remove programs' is selected. Scroll through the list until you find the program that you want to install.
Uninstall the ProgramHighlight the program and click 'Change/Remove.'

Depending upon the software you will be guided through a very quick wizard making sure that you want to uninstall or make changes to the program. Once the program is uninstalled you'll see it has been removed from the list. Thanks for watching. For more information visit us online at computing.about.com.

Screen Capture Reviews

I downloaded & tested 5 programs but only one of them is worth mentioning.  It has 2 versions. 

Free Version

While this program may not have all the extra controls that paid versions have it will do the job for most needs. I can highly recommend this program. Since this is the program that I am going to keep I have set the program to save to a specific folder and even changed the type of file that it was saving as from a GIF type file to a JPG type file.  I noted that it also has BMP as a choice.  For being a free program it is well worth the time to download and install if you only need the basics when it comes to screen captures.  Of course if you really want a strong program to do more then the pro version is just the thing for you.  http://www.wisdom-soft.com/ for both the free version and the pro version.
