If you wish to bring up Windows' file search minimise all your windows and press F3. You can also search within a certain folder too: open that folder up in Windows Explorer (the name for the program that opens when you double click on 'My Documents', 'My Computer', etc) and - you guessed it - press F3.
Pressing F3 opens search dialogs in many other programs as well: in Internet Explorer it opens (and closes) the vertical search bar; in MS Outlook it opens up the 'Advanced Find' dialog. Try pressing F3 when using applications that have some sort of search facility.
In a similar vein, you can open up the find facility in many applications by holding down the Control ('Ctrl') key and pressing F. To explain the difference between search and find, consider that you will search for a web page and when you have opened it you can find text within it. In MS Word Ctrl + F opens the 'Find and Replace' dialog. As with F3, try it out in any program that has a find facility.
Of course some programmers use slightly different standards. For example in Firefox both F3 and Ctrl + F open the find word dialog at the bottom of the screen.
Happy hunting.

Word to the wise: webmail woes
This is an issue that has cropped up a couple of times at the university where I work.
If you send yourself a document that you are working on, to continue working on it on another PC, remember to save the attached document onto that machine before you start to make changes to it. It is easy to forget this, open the document and start making changes. If you then hit the save icon it will not always save and when you then close whatever program you are editing the document in, your changes will be lost. This is particularly the case for documents accessed via webmail. If you remember to 'Save as' rather than just 'Save' you will be OK, because it will prompt you for a name and location where you wish to save it. Nevertheless, it is better to get into the good habit of copying the document you attached to the email onto the PC before you expend effort making alterations.

Keyboard shortcut of the week: email name look-up
When using MS Outlook, Outlook Express and Outlook Web Access on Internet Explorer you can quickly look up names in your contacts and address books with a keyboard shortcut.
Let us assume you are looking for a 'Thomas Jones', you can type 'tho jo' in the 'To..' field of a new email and hold down the Alt key and press K. Your email program will then either put the right address into the 'To..' field or it will present you with a list of matches, for example, there may be a 'Thomas Johnson' in your address book too, in which case both will be listed. Highlight the one you want in the list and click 'OK'.
As I mentioned, this shortcut works on Outlook Web Access if you access it using Internet Explorer. In order to see the list of matching names you may have to disable pop-ups for that site. To do so click on the yellow bar at the top of the new email page if it appears and set IE to always allow pop-ups from that page.
If you open Outlook Web Access using Firefox or another web browser you can use the same feature by clicking on the 'Check Names' button (pictured). This will then add the text you typed to the list in red, click on this to see the list of matches. Again, pop-up blocking may have to be disabled for that page.
This technique also works with the other address fields: 'CC' and 'BCC'.

How To Send Email To Undisclosed Recipients or Hide Email Addresses
Exposing the email addresses of people who may have wanted to keep them private is unethical since it encourages spam and email scams. The list of To: field may become too long hiding your message.
Functions of email fields
To: Shows recipients of the email you send.
Cc: Means carbon copy of the email you sent in the To field. Copy can be to yourself or someone else email. It is just for record.
Bcc: Means Blind carbon copy and therefore only you and the Bcc email recipient specified will know since the email address is automatically deleted on delivery.
How To Send to Undisclosed/hide recipients
1. Create / compose a new message in your email client account.
2. Insert "Undisclosed Recipients" in the To: field, followed by your email address in "<,>" braces. You can also leave it blank.
*
o The To: field should look like: "Undisclosed Recipients".
o If you send emails to undisclosed recipients frequently, you can add your own email address to your address book with "Undisclosed" as the first and "recipients" as the last name without the quotes. Instead of filling in the To: field manually, you can then use the address book entry.
3.Put all the recipients' email addresses in the Bcc: field, separated by commas. You will first need to select show Bcc,if the field is hidden.
*
o The Bcc: field could look something like: "my.first.friend@example.net, my_second_friend@example.net, stillanotherfriend@example.com".
4.Finish Composing your message.
5.Send it.
6. To: now read "Undisclosed Recipients" or blank if To: was left blank

How to stop Spam email and junk mail problem
Spam email or junk email is unwanted email received by the recipient. Almost every internet user will have received emails promising millions of dollars from corrupt politicians/fraudsters. A lot of time is wasted sorting through the email received and deleting spam email.
By mistake, important mail also gets deleted at times. Many people use email programs with a spam filter, but this is not 100% accurate. While it is not possible to totally eliminate spam email, you can keep junk emails manageable.
How to Fix it
1. Use different email ids for different uses. With people you know very well, you can give your main email id, for business purposes, you can create a separate id.
2. Sometimes your computer may be infected by malware like a Virus, trojan or spyware. Whenever you are connected to the internet, thousands of emails may be automatically sent without your knowledge.
keep your computer virus free and download free antivirus protection software
remove spyware, trojans from your PC, Free spyware remover
Sometimes, your PC may not have any viruses or spyware. But if a friends computer is infected and your email id is in the address book, you will receive junk mail.
3. When you join any forum, mailing list or post on a message board, create a temporary free email id at yahoo, hotmail, rediffmail or other free email service. Many mailing list owners may resell your email id. Bots crawl message boards, gathering emails. If you receive too much spam, you can simply stop using the email id.
4. Remove your email id from your website. For contacting you, visitors to your website can use the contact form on the website. Also use a private who is service as far as possible for domain registration services.

How To Find IP Address of your Gtalk or Chat friends via Email
Track IP address of your friends computer with an easy to use service provided by SpyPig.
Thinking of how this is done?
Guys over there at Spypig make use of the same technology spammers use to see if your email is real and actively read.
Thinking of how this is done? Spammers first extract email address from different websites comment section or directly from the contact address or mailto: links. Then they build a list of these email id’s and sends out emails randomly to all of them. Spammers embed images in their emails. Once you open your email, the image loads and, a unique identifier is sent back to the spammer letting them know that yours is a valid email address.
Here we use this same technique to find the I.P address of your friend's computer. Just follow these simple steps.
1) Go to SpyPig.com
2) Enter your email address. [address which is used to notify you when your message has been read]
3) Enter your message title. [for eg. your friends name]
4) Select your tracking image.
You can select the white background picture so that your friends doesn't know that you are tracking him. [you can also upload your own images as well but needs registration]
5) Number of notifications to receive.
Select this according to your wish. [10 recommended]
6) Click the Activate button. Once the image is generated, you have 60 seconds to copy paste the same in your email and send the email. If you are using Firefox then click and drag the tracking image and drop it into your email. Don't use your right-mouse click to copy the image.
7) Once you have copied the image in the email, send it within 60 seconds so that you itself is not tracked.
Problem with this image tracking service is that if your friend is using Gmail, then he will have to click “Display images below” button for your tracking code to work properly. So make sure you are sending him some sort of images or e-cards so that he needs to click that button to read your mail.
When your friend reads the email, you will receive a notification from spypig about the time when it is read and also your friends IP address :).

GMail Drive
GMail Drive is a free third-party Windows Shell namespace extension ("add-on") for Google's Gmail. It allows a user to access a virtual drive stored in a Gmail e-mail account by causing the contents of the Gmail account to appear as a new network share on the user's workstation. In order to use this add-on, the user needs a Gmail e-mail account. The add-on enables the user to use the standard Windows desktop file copy and paste commands to transfer files to and from the Gmail account as if it were a drive on the user's computer. 
In order for GMail Drive to operate, the computer must be connected to the Internet and the user must have a Gmail account. A broadband connection is preferable though not necessary, as all operations are done through Gmail and consequently over the Internet. GMail Drive uses the inbox of the Gmail account to store files and creates a virtual filesystem on top of the Gmail account, enabling the user to save and retrieve files stored on the Gmail account directly from inside Windows Explorer. GMail Drive adds a new virtual drive to the computer under the My Computer folder, where the user can create new folders, copy and drag-and-drop files to, but does not give an actual drive letter, such as C:, preventing its use in all DOS applications, and some older Windows applications. Download GMail Drive from Softpedia Feel free to post comments.
