and also any suggestions on how to transfer files quickly?

If you're referring to the Internet Explorer 7, just hit ALT and the menu-bar will show up.

I presume you're talking about copying files from your old pc to the new one. Either LAN, firewire or USB2 will do.


edit: how do i check my specs?

Type in DXDIAG in the search field and run... DXDIAG!:p

k thanks :p i have this usb cord and somewhere it has a place where i can put another usb its called 3d reach, whats 3d reach :confused:

3D Reach appears to be a series of wifi cards/adapters.

If you want to set your homepage/history/favourites/search to blank I'd imagine you'd just have to do it manually, but then I wouldn't know because I don't use IE. :p If you want the menu bar to be there permanently (like it should) then I think you can right click where it normally is and select it.

When Discord said USB2, I think he meant to use a USB pen drive. That's probably the easiest, though transferring via a LAN is better if you set up shared folders.

For basic specs, on your keyboard hit Window+Break. It'll bring up the system properties dialog.

I didn't know that one... I doubt that I'll remember it either.:tongue:

To transfer files easily, get an external hard-drive. It worked well for me, and now I have 300 gigs of extra storage to boot.

Yeah, external HDs are orgasmic. Anything I might want to switch from computer to computer I just store on there. It makes sooo much easier!
