Re: [Blind-Computing] Defragging and Maintenance for Win/7

[inthaneelf]

hi Trish, 

defragmenting more than once a month is as far as I see and know useless
unless your doing a lot of file intensive and altering things on a daily
basis. 

about once a month is more than enough for most regular computer users, just
you need to remember to do it then!

I use a alternative to the windows defragmentation application that is
faster than the windows version called auslogics disk defragmentation:
http://auslogics.com/en/software/disk-defrag

but if you wish to work with and re assign the time of the windows
application, it is in my "windows 7 useful hints" download off my grab bag
site:
http://grabbag.alacorncomputer.com

along with numerous other useful hints for windows 7 use and repair.

or you can follow the tips out of one of it's files, "windows 7 tips and
tricks" below:
" Setting up scheduled defrags is easy: 
1. Click the Start button, type defrag, and click Disk Defragmenter. 
2. Click Configure schedule. 
3. Choose a time when your computer is turned on, but you are not using it. 
4. Click OK and Close to save your settings 

Your disk will now be defragmented regularly. " 

HTH,
inthane

Hello,

Where do I find the Defrag for window's 7? I did search and thought I found 
it but it vanished..

I tried going through control panel, found the maintenance button almost 
entered on it, but didn't want to get somewhere that I could do more harm 
than good.

So, do I envoke this maintenace button or not? Also, when I found the 
defrag, it said it was set to defrag at 2/a.m. each morning, well now...I am

in the habit of shutting down my laptop each night, so should I leave it on 
so it can do this defragging?

Thanks for help,

Trish

Re: [Blind-Computing] Tracking packages using FedEx?

[inthaneelf]

when I have done it, I have ignored the top half of the page although there
are several links that seem to pertain to this, and used the one edit field
system that is about half way down the page, insert the tracking number and
enter on the button/link "to track" or track it, something real simple like
that and it should show up at the bottom of the resulting page (again you
will need to skip down, but I think the h key works for this, if I am
remembering correctly).

HTH,

Subject: [Blind-Computing] Tracking packages using FedEx?

Listers,

Can we track a package using the FedEx website? I've been trying to track a
package using the website and it seems like it can't be done. I would like
to download the fedEx desktop utility, which would automaticly send the
tracking info to an email.  Please someone tell me something. If we can
track packages, at FedEx's website, I must be doing something drasticly
wrong, because I just can't make it work.

Thanks for helping.

 

 

Carliss
