Confused, you can also use Shift-click if you have a series of files in a row to highlight.

Confused, all you have to do is hold down CTRL while clicking a file. That selects multiple files. Happy clicking!

How do I highlight more than one file in Windows Explorer? I saw my boyfriend do it, but I forgot how he did it.

My first suggestion to delete programs is to go to START > SETTINGS > CONTROL PANEL, and open "Add / Remove Programs." Single click on the program you want to remove, and hit "add/remove."

your issue of adding more memory is a different issue all together. Do you mean memory, or disk space? Not sure? Check out my article on terms for the computer. I made them very easy to understand. Hope that helps.

Photoshop Tip:

If you've ever done anything mundane and tediously strenuous in Photoshop, and plan on doing it again in the same way for another project, this tip is for you. In Photoshop, go to your menu, and choose WINDOW>SHOW ACTIONS. Actions are essentially macros. Photoshop 4 and 5 both have implemented actions into the program. Click on the blank page button to create a new action. You'll be prompted to title the action. Give it a title, and begin. Click on the red button to record, and start performing the task. Size the image, crop it, adjust the resolution, save it as doggie.jpg, and actions will record it all. When you've completed the action, hit the stop button. Be sure you're in button mode (use the actions menu to be sure button mode is checked), and open up a new image. Click on your newly-made action, and watch as the computer automatically performs the magic for you. Don't ever be tied down again! Let the computer and Photoshop do your dirty work!
