    * Open the page you want to link to in your browser.

    * Highlight the URL in the browser's address bar.
          o The URL typically begins with "http://", "https://" or maybe "ftp://". 

    * Hit Ctrl-C.

    * Use the mouse to highlight the word or passage in the message you are composing in Outlook Express.

    * Click the Insert a link or Create a Hyperlink button in the message's formatting toolbar.
          o You can also select Insert | Hyperlink... from the message's menu.

speed up Farm Ville in windows 7- Series 1

                 Have you ever felt that your Farm Ville game runs slow? If the answer to this question is yes, then this article is for you. The heart of the problem lies with two resources  your Farm Ville animals and the fact that they are script programs that run through java script and your computer.

The bottom of the story is that the java script enables your Farm Ville animals to be animated and move. Unfortunately when you have numerous animals the java script applications bog-down your browser and slow down the speed at which the applications on the web-page or website will function, and that is why the Farm Ville game goes so slow.

We are going to provide a series of articles/posts on Speeding up Farmville. This is the 1st one of the series.

In this article we will only talk about the first part of the story that being the animals and the decorations on Farm ville itself.

We have done an exhaustive search for programs that disable scripting, but for whatever reason they do not work on Farm Ville, so the best tip to speed up Farm Ville is as follows:

Making changes in Farm ville itself

A.  Farm Ville Buildings

Our objective is to get rid of your animals to eliminate the scripting from bogging down your browser. There are only two options available to do this and the first option offers very limited help because it only applies to your cows and chickens.

Farm Ville allows you to store cows and chickens in buildings; Dairy Farms and Chicken Coop’s, respectively. However, although at the current time you can buy unlimited Dairy Farms to store cows in, unfortunately you can only obtain 1 chicken coop that has a capacity of 20 chickens.

If you haven't done so already, go to the Market and choose the "Building" tab. There you will see the various buildings that you can purchase; either with Farm Ville dollars or coins.

Purchase a chicken coop and store up to 20 of your chickens, and then SELL the rest of your chickens.

Purchase as many Dairy Farms as needed to store all your cows in. Fortunately because you can obtain unlimited Dairy Farms you will not have to SELL any cows.

As for the rest of your animals, sell them if possible! This will eliminate all of the scripting from bogging-down your Farm Ville game play speed and you will be able to plant, plow and harvest with great speed.

B.  Sell Farm Ville Animals

The other alternative is to SELL ALL OF YOUR ANIMALS. To sell your animals simply left click on the animal and choose "Sell". Another screen will open and choose "yes" to sell the animal. Yes we know that selling all of your other animals is not a very good option, but you either play the game faster or deal with playing Farm Ville bogged-down?

Gaining higher levels in Farm Ville is mainly done through harvesting crops so the most crucial thing to keep in mind is that once you advance in levels in your Farm Ville game by plowing, planting and harvesting many, many crops, you can always get more animals from your Farm Ville neighbors.

Sacrificing your animals to speed up Farm Ville to attain higher levels is a worthwhile choice that everyone will quickly learn.

C.  Trap your Farm Ville farmer

 

There is nothing more annoying than waiting for your farmer to walk all around your farm to plant and harvest. Trap your farmer using hay bales or fence and you will be able to play Farm Ville a lot quicker. That is one java script less. 

The next part of the article will describe about the second factor of the story, that happens to be your Computer.

Turn OFF/ON email notification sound: Live Mail

                By default, Windows Live Mail will automatically play a sound when it detects new emails and starts downloading them to your computer. This is called the "New Mail Notification" sound, and is configured at the operating system level (in other words, you customize which sounds will play by configuring your Sounds settings in Windows 7 / Vista / Windows XP). 

        But Windows Live Mail allows you to disable the new emails sound if you don't want it to play, without affecting your other email programs. You could want Microsoft Outlook to play the new mail notification sound, but ask Windows Live Mail to remain quiet when new emails arrive. This is possible by turning off the new mail sound option inside Windows Live Mail itself.

Follow these steps to configure your new emails sound settings:

    * If needed, launch Windows Live Mail; once it has opened, click on the "Menu" button (or press Alt+M), and choose "Options" under the dropdown menu.

 

      Click on the menu button in Windows Live Mail
    * When the Windows Live Mail "Options" dialog options, make sure that the "General" tab is selected (it should be by default).
    * Look at the "Send / Receive Messages" section of this tab: the first checkbox reads "Play sound when new messages arrive", and is checked by default.

 

      Email sound options in Windows Live Mail
    * To turn off and (temporarily) disable the new mail sound, uncheck that checkbox and click on the "OK" button to apply the new setting and return to Windows Live Mail.
    * From this point on, Windows Live Mail will not play any sound when it downloads new email messages to your PC. (As an aside, Windows Live Mail will remember your setting, you do not need to re-configure it every time you use the program.)
    * That's all it takes to turn off the new mail sound!

Enable or Disable reading pane in Live mail

              Depending on your personal preferences and the screen resolution you are using, you will want to show or hide the Reading Pane ("Preview Pane") in Windows Live Mail.This post explains how to do that, and how to preview these changes before you apply them.

Follow these steps to configure the visibility and position of the Reading Pane:

    * First, open Windows Live Mail if needed.
    * Once you are in, click on the "Menu" button, or press Alt+M on your keyboard.

 

      Click on the menu button in Windows Live Mail
    * Then, click on the "Layout" menu item.
    * Windows Live Mail will open a dialog that lets you configure several visual settings: click on "Reading Pane (Mail)", and you will see the following options:

 

      Configure the Reading Pane settings and options in Windows Live Mail
    * When the "Show the reading pane" checkbox is checked, Windows Live Mail will display a preview of the currently selected email either at the bottom or on the right of the main window. To hide the reading pane, uncheck that checkbox.
    * If you want to preview the change immediately, no need to close the options dialog: just click on the "Apply" button (the change will appear in the background window).
    * When the "Show the reading pane" checkbox is checked, you will see two other options below (which are hidden when you choose to hide the Reading Pane, since they are not relevant at that point). These settings determine the position of Windows Live Mail's Reading Pane.
    * To show the Reading Pane below the listing of email messages for the current folder, choose the "At the bottom of the message list" option. This is the traditional position for email programs, but modern monitors (wide screen displays) offer enough horizontal screen real estate to feasibly allow for the second option, which is to show the Reading Pane "To the right of the message list". The screenshot below shows you the vertical Reading Pane (left) and the horizontal Reading Pane (right).

 

      Horizontal or vertical Reading Pane inside Windows Live Mail
    * Click on "OK" to apply the new Reading Pane setting and return to Windows Live Mail.

These steps can be followed in Windows Live mail installed in Windows XP and Windows 7.
