wonderful to heaar all this input. What I have done is made a note of it, and am making a checklist for my tech person to add when he builds my new system for me. I may have mentioned he can offer me a free upgrade to Windows10 from version8 after that operating system is finalized. It's also...

as you can see though, some will ttake me to Word Document files I have addresses stored on, others will take me to links that are tutorials for building specific web pages and techniques in Wordpress and some to Internet Explorer etc. It's just easier that way....at least for me. But now that I...

Thanks Rich. Here is basically how my WindowsXP Pro screen looks right now - so I can make it appear (even if it is similar, I don't care....just simple to access, like in this shot would be OK with me) like you say?

I have alot of my current sites and programs accessible via icons on my screen. With Windows8, they say this cannot be done since it is a "tab-based" screen (I use a mouse, not my fingers). I disagree, I am certain when I do get my new PC set up with Windows8, I ought to be able to configure my...

Thankks for your clarification. Glad I asked. So now I know when I ask my tech guy to build the new machine, to install Office 2007. I appreciate it it.

So do you mean Ztruker, that having my tech person install Office 2007 it is not advisable? Also, I just clicked my LiveMail desktop icon which takes me to the page in screenshot below.

Thanks Jimbo. I haven't the foggiest as to applying this current machine and using as a server in the future. I'd initially want to avoid having to rely on THIS one, in order to use a new one and think it ought to require more plugs into the current power strip....I have enough now as it...

Excellent! Actually I showed my current desktop like that, in order to understand if Windows8 allows the same functionality. Keep in mind, I only have a handful of those icons that I rely on to click and access. Such as Photoshop, Chrome, Outlook Express and maybe 4 or 5 more....but really, the...

I appreciate all that has been shared as to whether or not my next operating system on my new computer should be Windows 8. Is it true that Windows 8 built-in email client has trouble with POP email server settings? Very curious about that. I am also including a recent screenshot of my current...

Thanks for all this info....been reading through it and that's why it's taken some time. I sure appreciate it and appreciate the offer TechnoMage for question / answer offer on PM. I am making a note of it. As for Bells & Whistles MilesAhead, I like to work with a "basic" mindset. I keep desktop...

Much appreciated! No, I shouldn't have mentioned Chrome. That is just my access to the web etc. Don't be mislead. My main question is what would you suggest is the better option for replacing XP Pro? Windows 8 or Windows 7 based on the following: #1. Will either one accomodate a copy of...

Thanks. I am not going to put any new Windows operating system on this computer per se (as I'll use it as a basic "storage" device).....I will be having a new machine customized and then a new OS installed from there. I don't want to install any other additional os simply because of the fact I...

I've used XP Pro for years, to build many websites, maintain invoices, Excel documents, Notepad files and have a multitude of images divided across my hard drive on many named folders. On my last Norton360 virus scan, I believe about a million files were scanned and all looked good....just minor...
