"How do I change the location of the My Documents folder?" * * * Why does my HTML email look different to the recipient than it does to me?
HTML formatted email can be pretty cool. You can make exceptionally beautiful email, almost works of art even. And then when you send it there's a very good chance that all that work might simply disappear, and at worst be completely and totally unintelligible to your recipient. HTML is a standard. HTML as rendered in different email programs? Not so standard. Continue reading:

me?" * * * Should I defragment my USB Flash drive?
You've hit one nail squarely on the head: flash devices (or any "solid state" devices) don't gain a performance benefit from being defragmented. But in reality things get worse. Much, much worse. You should never defragment a flash drive. Continue reading: "Should I
defragment my USB Flash drive?" * * * Should I upgrade from Windows 98/Me?
Windows Millennium Edition (aka Windows Me) was released in late 2000. Windows 98 was released in 1998, with Windows 98se or "second edition" replacing it in 1999.

*** Popular Articles from the Archives Last week I posted an article about hotel insecurity. This is an older article that touches on the same topic in a general sense: Can hackers see data going to and from my computer?
Yes. But most of the time it doesn't matter. On the other hand, there are times when you really need to be careful.

As always it's important to stay up to date to keep your machine protected from newly discovered vulnerabilities. This last "patch Tuesday" had several that you probably don't want to miss. I may have mentioned it here before, but I've been posting on Twitter from time to time. Sometimes silly, sometimes noteworthy, sometimes advance announcements of what you'll see here, all in all it's an interesting environment.
