9.30.98 - GnomeNEWS Question: I dislike the "GnomeNEWS" section in the Daily issues. Some of your comments are completely unrelated to Windows. Stick to technology stuff, please? Answer: If you don't like a certain section, then skip it. J I'm attempting to show you that there's a side of me beyond just a "geek" who loves computers. I have a life, and if I think there's something interesting enough to share with you, I will. Hey--it's still free. J Question: Can you tell me where to find "X" program? Answer: No. Unless you want to pay me $125.00 per hour. In which case, I'll find it for you. J I'm not tech support--I can't spend my day trying to find "X" stuff for you when I'm trying to write these newsletters. I'm not sour, and don't feel bad if you've asked me before. Just do a search for it? Question: I dislike the new format(s). I liked it when Lockergnome was bi-weekly. Answer: So don't read Lockergnome issues but twice a week. J Call that a sarcastic retort, but it (somewhat) makes sense. I can't please every reader every time. GnomePROGRAM DesktopPlus v1.0 [354k] SW$20 W9x/NT4 I use Mr. Bigglesworth with a 19" monitor. I would have purchased a 21" model, but it would have been too big for my desk. Something tells me that I could have a 45" monitor and would still be screaming for more Desktop space. That's where virtual Desktops come in handy! Not only can you have up to 9 of them, but you can keep shortcuts for any or all of them in a Windows 98 (or IE4) taskbar! Of course, you could also use them in the System tray--but that's up to you. Use HotKeys to switch to other virtual Desktops, enable password protection, move windows between Desktops, and more! Sure, you could run out and get a multiple-monitor setup... but your desk might not be big enough to hold more than one. Besides, this is NINE TIMES the fun. [ DOWNLOAD ] [ VISIT SITE ]

GnomeCANDY The Changer v3.0 [949k] FREE W9x What's the first thing you see when you boot up into Windows 9x? If it's the blue screen of death, then... well... you've got problems. You SHOULD see the "boring" Windows 9x logo, unless you've found a replacement for it. Here's a program which not only comes with a few more Startup screens, but also the ability to randomize them each time you boot up into Windows 9x. That should give you a different Startup screen each time! You can also choose to play a midi file every time Windows starts (nothing like a good tune to start off your day)! Other "versions" of this program are available (they're packed with different LOGO.SYS files). [ DOWNLOAD 1 ] [ VISIT SITE ]
GnomeFAVORITE Desktop Engineer's Junk Drawer I had a junk drawer when I was a kid. Everything that I still wanted, but really didn't have a place for, went in there. In the great tradition of telling y'all about other killer e-mail newsletters, I present to you the Desktop Engineer's Junk Drawer. It focuses on tools & resources for those involved in the maintenance of Microsoft Operating Systems (specifically, in a corporate environment). They've only been around since June, but each issue is packed to the brim with the latest NT downloads. The smart NT administrator won't skip this Zine. [ VISIT SITE ]
GnomeDESKTOP FONT: Holiday Sampler [126k] This is more for the Americans in the group, but you never know when you'll need a few Easter Eggs for a document. And what a box of chocolates for your lover? A neat-o Jack-o-Lantern for your virtual window? How about a chubby cherub? A turkey? A wreath? A ghost? Peter Cottontail? Or the American Flag? Most major American holidays are covered (this is a Dingbats font). [ DOWNLOAD ] [ VISIT SITE ]
GnomeTIP
Some days are better than others for Windows 9x users; we have to
reboot every once in a while. Next time you have to reboot, try
holding onto the SHIFT key as you press "OK" to restart your PC.
It'll skip all the regular boot-up stuff (including the
autoexec.bat and config.sys files).
