*** This Week's New Articles on Ask Leo! Is C: sacred?
Well, there's actually two answers to this: yes "C:" is sacred, and no, it's not. I know, that wasn't very helpful. But I do have some practical advice and some bad news about changing what you have. Continue reading: "Is C:
sacred?" * * * How do I stay safe in an internet cafe?
You are absolutely right to be concerned. There are steps that you need to take to ensure your both your security and your privacy. Continue reading: "How do I stay
safe in an internet cafe?" * * * What does "the USB device can perform faster" mean?
You weren't dreaming. Windows does occasionally notify you that "The USB device can perform faster if you connect it to a High Speed USB 2.0 port." When, why, and what to do about it vary depending on your system and the USB device you have in hand. Continue reading: "What
does "the USB device can perform faster" mean?" * * * Should I maintain my external drive the same way I do my internal?
