Issue #943: August 17-23, 2025

Geek Note: This is a continuation of last week’s issue where I was talking about Google – specifically all the free things you get when you sign up for a Google account (which is also free).  Last week I talked about the Google Office Suite.  This week I’ll discuss Google’s free cloud storage, and how […]

Issue #942: August 10-16, 2025

Geek Note: The dry spell in my question queue continued this week, so no Q&A this issue.  Previously I discussed a lot of things regarding Microsoft, so in this week’s issue, and probably next week’s as well, I’ll cover the wonderful world of Google, and the many free services they provide.  Meantime, visit my website […]

Issue #941: August 3-9, 2025

Geek Note: Sorry readers – no Q&A this week.  Just like letters or Christmas cards, you have to write ‘em to get ‘em, and nobody has been writing ‘em lately. So, get busy!  The link to submit is on the column’s website, and like everything else associated with the column, it’s free, free, free!  I […]

Issue #940: Jul 27 – Aug 2, 2025

Q: I have a question about running Notepad under Windows 11: What registry setting can I tweak to get Notepad to open maximized? Thanks. Life is short and since I use Notepad myriad times daily, I’ve surrendered almost 4 Earth Days to “Bill” double-clicking Notepad’s header bar to maximize each time I launch it.  – […]

Issue #939: July 20-26, 2025

Q: I am still on Windows 10 on my Dell Inspiron. Now I’m getting notices online that I have to get Windows 11 by November to get updates on this computer. How easy is it? Can I get it without buying a new laptop? I’m old so I have trouble with new stuff.  – Nancy […]

Issue #938: July 13-19, 2025

Q: My 2-year-old desktop is backed up on One Drive. I get almost daily emails from the manufacturer that “You have excessive clutter/too many files/registry problems” that they can fix for only $100 a year. The memory and disk show 80-85% memory available. I understand that Microsoft manipulates the storage, but can’t see why I […]

Issue #937: July 6-12, 2025

This is Part 2 of a 2-part “non-question” column because my question queue ran completely dry.  Herein, I’m discussing the increasingly common practice known as Cutting the Cord or Cord Cutting.  This is the practice of ditching cable or satellite TV providers in favor of alternate methods of receiving entertainment content.  If you missed Part […]

Issue #936: Jun 29 – Jul 5, 2025

So, it finally happened this week.  My queue of questions reached a quantity of zero, leaving me with literally no questions to answer.  I have plenty of tech knowledge to pass along though, so I’ll pull from there and see what comes out.  In the meantime, please – if you’re sitting on an unasked question, […]

Issue #935: June 22-28, 2025

Q: I think I did something very stupid yesterday. I received an unsolicited request from Microsoft Authenticator on my Android phone for my personal Hotmail account. Now, I receive Authenticator requests from my work email periodically to sign into those accounts which are valid. So, I thought this was the same thing. I tried to […]

Issue #934: June 15-21, 2025

Q: Awhile back, you answered a DOSBox question for me (Geek Note: IGTM #723, May 30, 2021 and IGTM #779, Jun 26, 2022). The solution at the time did not work for me, but oh well, on to the next. Now, I would like to ask a question about a couple of IP commands. I […]
