"To select more than one file or folder, hold down CTRL while you click each item." Yeah, I already knew that. "To minimize wrist strain when you type, keep your wrists elevated or use a wristpad." Thanks for caring! "To draw a selection box around a group of files, click at a corner of the group, and then drag the rectangle to form the box." Yeah, that's... nice. Though novices may find them useful, I don't need a tip of the day. Windows 95 and 2000 users can change 'em at will after firing up REGEDIT.EXE and navigating to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion \ Explorer \ Tips. Did you know you had a Tip of the Day in Internet Explorer? Sure! Turn it on in the "Help" menu. To tweak those tips, you'll want to edit TIP.HTM (which can be found in the Web subfolder of your Windows directory). Hey, this can be practical. How many times have you reminded your folks that you have to click on a link in order to view it. Yeah, well... write 'em a tip and they won't forget. They'll just call you up and ask how to get those tips to come back. "They've moved on to greener pastures, Ma."
