Undeleting the Recycle Bin in Vista!!

Paul1 Reply

Having been using Windows Vista there are some things you must remember with Vista.  You can easily delete the recycle bin or even the Compuer icon with much thought.  I recently had a problem with that.  My son wanted to play on my computer and hit the delete key and hit enter.  So there I was without a recycle bin.  Thanks to a little figuring out, I’ve come to understand that it is just as easy to put back the icon.  Unlike Ubuntu and other linux distros if you delete the recycle bin, you have to go through some hoops.  I know I have used them in the past.  So let’s start out with what vista says when you try to delete the recycle bin.

There it says you must go to the personalization menu to fix that.  Ok so I go there and then I would need to click this:

You would have to click on “Change Desktop Icons” and then you are almost home.  Here is where you have some choices.

You will need to put a check mark in the “Recycle Bin” box and you are set to go off and do other wonderful stuff.  if you are like me and you want to have network icons and computer icons on your desktop well check those off too.  The Computer icon is useful if you need to get to the hard drive.  The network is useful if you want to get out to your local network. I should also mention the control panel, that can be useful from time to time so it is all about what you want to make space be like.  You want to have it neat and spacious then you wouldn’t want to clutter your desktop if you want several programs at your fingertips then yes do what you want.  I’ve recently discovered how useful it is to have a clean desktop.  Don’t know why but I’ve begun to work on keep my screen desktop organized.

Hulu Brings on Paramount Movies!

Paul1 Reply

As you can see Paramount has been seen at Hulu.  I thought I would talk about some movies that I could be coming to Hulu.  So let’s talk about some of them shall we.  I can see so many good movies:

  • Paycheck — What seemed like a breezy idea for an engineer to net him millions of dollars, leaves him on the run for his life and piecing together why he’s being chased. full summary | full synopsis

  • The Saint — Simon Templar has no real family, no real home and Simon Templar isn’t even his real name. Yet Simon Templar … more | full synopsis

  • Ghost — After being killed during a botched mugging, a man’s love for his partner enables him to remain on earth as a ghost. full summary

[ad]

So these are just a few that I looked up and can see them possibly coming to hulu in the next few weeks to months.  I am willing to bet most of the shows I’ve mention will come because they are the most adored by the public and others.  I will be doing even more searching later on!!!  I also think they will bring Star Trek : The Motion Picture but that is almost a given. I expect them to bring most of the Trek movies to Hulu being they have a lot of science fiction viewers.  If you have any ideas of what movies will come to Hulu by all means make a comment and talk about it.

HD Ware in Downloads!

Paul

Although, I think HD is the same thing as Blu-ray.  Most people now a days are looking into the the download section instead of having a DVD.  So here is what I think they missed.  Some things you might be missing is that Hulu has decided to take on the cause and start publishing the HD videos.

Having seen, the devastation of the format war. Engadget talked about this same little thing.   Either way I think we only begun to see the relevance and cost of downloading.  We’ve got two different formats trying to get on the bandwidth of your local ISP.  Here’s where it get hard.  Which of the two would you rather download, a 8 gig or a 20 gig file.  Then you have to think of how much time it will take to download the file so you could watch it.

As you can see it gets so hard to download all these types of files when you could stream it.  Yes you could download it but downloading it takes time.  Why not watch it in relatively short time, like 10 minutes or so!! So I thought I throw out a few ideas on stream this HD without having to download it.

Hulu

As with Anyhting else, You can have standard definition videos and High Def Videos come from this little site.  It takes so little time going to site that you to can find some really good videos at this.  This show That I used as an example.

Hulu HD

CBS

Having been using CBS for all my standard def and high def experiences.  I’ve found that this site is also just as good as Hulu.  Although I think Hulu is the best there is, this is definitely second on my list!!


NBC

NBC has so many shows coming to there fall line up, I actually have them on my list also for third.  Although they will never compete with Hulu due to the fact they have server and lag issues they have been really nice to go to when I need to find a program that I’ve missed or wanted to watch.

ABC Family

ABC Family has so many good shows on that are original and also very nice to watch.  Most of these others that I’ve listed. The one that I like is:

KyleXY

Fancast

This is the the last one.  It’s called fancast.  They actually have like a variety of networks linked into this little site.  They have NBC, CBS, and Hulu which is really good.  I like to go here to find some of the ones that others don’t have.  Let me show you one  of them that you can only watch at fancast.

Farscape

I am sure there are others that you can only watch there on Fancast but that one is the one that I’ve found that I can only watch there.  You can even watch trailers there to.  If you know something that I’ve missed please leave a comment.  I want to find out more free streaming sites.

It is another week and I wanted to say thanks to GoDaddy.com, Get your piece of the internet at G-o-D-a-d-d-y-.-c-o-m!!. Godaddy.com has been so helpful with setting up this account and giving me all this bandwidth.  I thought I would recommend them to every one who reads this.  I am a customer and will keep being a customer to them.

Back on Topic: (anagrams again)

Monday: Oh A Calm Chirp = Ralph Macchio

Tuesday: Alec Law = Wallace

Wednesday: Baby By Flo = Bobby Flay

Thursday: Rip Envy = Vern Yip

Friday: Stay Tuned

[ad]

We’ve had so much happen in the last few weeks, I am hoping they do something like this for the fall.  It looks like it is a possibility because of them changing around the Aug release Calendar.  I am suspecting they changed that for a reason.  If I am not mistaken they had it go all the way until the 31st.  So it makes me wonder what is going to happen!!!  Stay tuned for all the clues.  I am sure they will release them shortly!! Leave a comment if you think they are going to create a fall calendar clues.  I think that would be really nice!!

So let’s get into the clues:

Monday: The Karate Kid | PIX

Tuesday: Wallace & Gromit: Cracking Contraptions | Aardman

Wednesday: Throw Down with Bobby Flay | Food Network Channel

Thursday:  Trading Spaces | TLC Deserving Design | HGTV

Friday: Eddie Murphy Raw | Paramount Pictures

I’ll be looking for the rest this weekend if you know the other ones by all means comment and tell us what you think it will be!!

*Saturday*

It seems they have started to show the hints yesterday night right after I went to bed.  So I am guessing they’ve got something planed really big.  Here is what I think will come this way.  If you can come up with alternatives by all means leave a comment.  I’d love to hear what others are thinking!!

*Monday*

THAT came up and bit me in the behind.  I should never assume anything now a days, teaches me a lesson!  Yes today it has been confirmed they are doing anagrams all over again!!!  I am betting they couldn’t come up with anything else!!  Did they give up making clues or what? Now to figure out Tuesday’s Clue, anyone want to hazard a guess.  I know I’ve asked for Stargate Atlantis and there was a Wallace character in Season 4.  I don’t know though.  Props to all that help!! I am just guessing on the Bobby Flay clue, I figure it has to have his name in it!  It will, although, be something dealing with food!!!  They also have Karate Kid II also!!

[ad]

*Side Note*

I’ve received information that they have 2 possibilities for Friday that is why they haven’t put in the clue yet.  On the other hand, they will be doing another promotion in a few weeks.  I’d wager in a month or less.  They will want to either doe something in Sept to get ready for Thanksgiving.  I’d also wager they might be doing a Christmas promotion also.  🙂  I’m not sure which they will do but when they start.  You know where to go for the latest help on clues from Hulu.

*Tuesday*

That one also came up and bit me in the behind. I dismissed the liltinsoldier for saying it could be Wallace and Gromit because Hulu didn’t have affililations with  Aardman and Dreamsworks.  Now t hey seem they do.  This is the first of probably several that will come out on Hulu.  Aardman has teamed up with Hulu to bring us some really comedic talents!  I can’t wait to see what they bring up next!!  For people who want to see more of Aardman or Wallace and Gromit, I’ve found some stuff out!! Check out:  Aardman Animations Websites and Wallace & Gromit Short stories.

*Wednesday*

It looks like that guess that I did was right.  I figured if they had his name in it there was a reason for it.  Great job everyone!!  This is for last months clue.  They seem to have brought down the number two in Ghostbusters.  Now you can watch Ghostbusters II.

*Thursday*

It looks like they went with Deserving Design. I am never going to be right a 100% of the time!!  They also put up Myles of Style. I will update where needed.

*Side Note*

I will be doing a weekly review of a show or movie that comes out of Hulu.  If you have any suggestions email me.  My email address is on the About me page!!  I will keep everyone updated on the Hulu Promotions.

*Friday*

Well the last and final one is Eddie Murphy Raw.   Now finally we can get some good movies coming our way.  The following week, I will be talking about some of the paramount pictures movies that would probably be coming on hulu.  I know a couple right of the top of my head that would be nice!!! I am so glad Paramount has started to get in on the streaming videos!!
