Hello..
this is a little trick for windows fonts... I am a person that is literally addicted to fonts. I cant get enough of them.... there has been a couple of times that I have had too many fonts installed on my system... sooooo many of them that I actually found out that there is an error message for it.. lol
[me tooo!!! - Bee ;)]

For this trick...
you create another folder called something along the lines of "More Fonts" basically anywhere on the computer... (on your c drive, in your my documents folder... where ever... It really makes no differece!) When you download any new fonts... instead of installing them into the c:/windows/fonts directory... you just download them into this new folder.

When you want to use one of these new fonts in this "more fonts" folder... BEFORE you open the program you want to use... (like Microsoft Word) just open the folder and double click on the font(s) file(s) themselves (to open them) and then minimize it to the taskbar and leave it open. (Minimizing the font file to the taskbar will "trick or "fool" the computer into thinking that the font is installed in the fonts folder.)

Once the font file is minimized, open the program that you intend to use... and the fonts (that you minimized) will be in the list with all the fonts that are in the windows/fonts directory.

It is an awesome trick... and it does work I have tried it several times.... Have fun!!!

This is one of my favourites....
Make your own Screensaver!!
for Windows ME (Warning level: Tame)
right click the Desktop
select Properties
hit the Screen Saver tab
scroll down the list till you locate My Pictures Screen Saver
This default path will use all the photos/pictures currently stored in your My Pictures folder.. very cool!

If you wish to use a different selection of pictures simply create a folder, put in the pictures you wish to use then click on Settings (beside the selection My Pictures Screen Saver). Beside Use Pictures in this folder hit Browse now navigate your way to the folder.. once located hit OK and your done! While your in My Picture Screen Saver Options have a play around with the options...
How often should picture change 6 seconds to 3 minutes
How big should the picture be 25% to 100% of the screen
you can also select from Stetch Small Pictures, Show File Names, Use Transition Effects Between Pictures, Allow Scrolling through pictures with Keyboard (arrow keys).
