If you’re trying to find help for setting up a restore point for Windows XP through their help system - don’t bother with logic.  Most search terms you try will not yield helpful results.  Here’s an illogical but effective way to find help for how to set or activate restore points.  (Just remember the magic word WIZARD)

Go to the Window’s Help and Support under the Start Menu and type "Restore Wizard" and you’ll get the instructions and location for setting a restore point.

Often, setting a system restore point  means you’re already in the middle of some nerve racking situation so don’t type "System Restore", "Set Restore Point" or any other logical phrase that occurs to you.  If you try this obvious approach to the answer, MS will reward your search with lists and more lists of jumps to long winded and unhelpful articles about what a restore point is or why one would want a restore point but not a link or jump to anything that will even remotely help you SET A RESTORE POINT.

Never mind that Microsoft’s help file should help . . go to Google - type in the nature of your problem and quickly find a painless solution.

To fix the problem, go to IE’s Tools menu and select the bottom option, Internet Options, go to the General tab and then to the Accessiblity button at the bottom of the tab.  A dialog box opens and at the bottom is a space for a user style sheet.  Click the check box and use a style sheet you’ve defined with font-sizes set at least to medium.  Mine is called Ichoosetosee.css (name it anything you want) and looks like this:

/* CSS Document */
li {
    font-size: medium;
}

body {
    color: #000000;
    background-color: #FFFFFF;
    margin: 5px;
    font-family: sans-serif;
    font-size: medium;
}

p {
    font-size: medium;
    color: #000000;
    font-style: normal;
}
table {
    font-size: medium;
    color: #000000;
}

h1 {
    font-size: 18px;
    font-weight: bold;
    text-align: center;
}

h2 {
    font-size: large;
    color: #000000;
    font-weight: normal;
}

h3 {
    font-size: 12px;
}

hr {
    height: 3px;
    width: 704px;
}
hr.short {

    height: 1px;
    width: 675px;
}

a:link {
    color: #006666;
    font-weight: normal;
    text-decoration: none;
}
a:visited {
    color: #2B0055;
    text-decoration: none;
    font-weight: normal;
}
a:hover {
    font-weight: normal;
    color: #6635A8;
    text-decoration: none;

}
a:active {
    font-weight: normal;
    text-decoration: none;

}

Speculation on various blogs states PSI may be associated with MediaDefender "a notorious anti piracy gang who have worked for the MPAA, RIAA and several independent media production companies." (Ref)  This particular post goes on to say that they "just launched their very own video upload service called ‘miivi.com’. The sole purpose of the site is to trap people into uploading copyrighted material, and bust them for doing so."  Ugly.

If it is in fact these snoopers visiting my blog my guess is that it’s because I have my own, self created, me as artist MP3s with  metadata on my blog. 

Chasing down MP3 users by scanning websites for MP3s seems futile and like a stupid waste of time.  I resent that by merely using MP3 technology, my site’s been targeted for snooping.

You can visit his website here or check out his plugins at WordPress’s site here.

His installation and usage instructions are always clear, easy to follow and thourough. I’ve never had a problem installing or using one of his plugins. The concepts behind the plugins are well thought out and GamerZ usually includes many ways to tweak the plugins to look the way you want them to. I’ve installed and checked out wp-print, wp-postratings, wp-polls, and wp-email.

I had installed wp-print (which by the way works really well) on another blog and forgot the step above.  After wasting alot of time I re-read the instructions   and there it was!

1. Back up your database.
2. Create a new database with the new name you want in mySQL and assign a user.
3. In phpMyAdmin go to Operations and use the "Copy database to:" option to move the structure and data to the new table by:  typing the new name in the text field, de-selecting any check boxes that are on and choosing “Go”. 
4. Your new database should now be present in the drop down list of databases in phpMyAdmin.
5. Back up your current app’s (WordPress or OSCommerce for example) config file.
6. Change the information in the current config file to reflect the new database name and any username and password changes you may have made. Save with the same name.
7.  Upload/overwrite the config file on your server in the appropriate area for your app.
8. Check to verify that your app works with the new setup by accessing your site.
9. Once you feel clear that everything’s hooked up and happy with the new database information you can delete your old database (and users if you created new ones.)

So I spent a few hours trying to figure out how to separate a label from a field in a report layout.  In the past you could just simply select the label and then cut . . . no more.  Now what you have to do is select the Arrange Tab and work with the buttons for Tabular, Stacked and Remove layouts. The layout needs to be removed by pressing the Remove button in order for the label to be deleted. (Now how hard would it have been to state this in MS’s own Help file??? Methinks it did belong there.)

On the plus side the tabular and stacked layouts allow for a much improved ability to resize and relocate fields on a report and working with the field/label links in most layouts will be a time saving improvement.  If you don’t for some reason want your field labels, don’t despair - you can still delete them - just the way to get there has changed.
