In Windows, if you want to delete a file or folder permanently without going it to Recycle Bin, you can press Shift + Del by selecting that file or folder.

Creating

A collage is a great way to display treasured photos. And it's relatively easy to create with your computer. You just need the right software.

I recommend that you use Google's Picasa. It's really designed to organize photos. But it has editing tools and other nice features.

You can download Picasa free from my site. Once you install it, hurry back. I'll help you get going. Then, I'll walk you through the creation of a collage.

When you first start Picasa, it scans your computer for photos. It then organizes them by folder and date. You can scan your entire computer or just a few folders.

From recent published reports, I'd recommend forgetting about AVG9 and downloading and installing Microsoft Security Essentials.

How would you rate it in comparison to Avast? I know it tracks malware but I'm more interested in a good AV and separate malware programmes.

I think I'd rate it as at least equal to the current free Avast, and it's pretty low footprint, so it's easy to live with. Since they're not trying to make money with it, it doesn't nag you all the time to upgrade to the paid version.

True, but "at this time" is when I'm using it.
