This is the screen that you usually see when you press on the
start
button (Bottom Left corner of your screen.
The first thing I would try to use to remove an unwanted program from my computer is the
Control Panels icon (Located in the right column as the sixth logo: Beneath My Computer & above Set Program Access and Defaults
) Click on that icon and you should see a screen similar to the one below.
From this screen you should press the
Add or Remove Programs icon
(Located in the left column as the third icon) and you will see a screen similar to the one below.
Depending on the year your computer was made this screen will give you a really good chance of locating what programs were added to your computer. You can do this by clicking on the
Date Icon (which is usually located at the top of this screen) If you have an idea of what day your friend was on your computer then you can use that information to locate what was added, and click on it so that a Remove icon
will show. (Example Below)
Click the
Remove icon
and hopefully it will remove the unwanted program.
If this doesn’t work. You may need to delete the entire account which usually works. Before you take the following steps to delete the account you may want to copy whatever important documents you have on your current account. Be careful and try not to copy foreign files, or unnecessary files.
DELETING AN ACCOUNT:
Once again click on the
start
button (Bottom Left corner of your screen.)
And once again you need to click on the
Control Panel icon (Located in the right column as the sixth logo: Beneath My Computer & above Set Program Access and Defaults
) Click on that icon and you should see a screen similar to the one below.
This time click on the
User Accounts icon
(Which is located in the Right column) You should see a screen similar to the screen below.
Before you delete the current bad profile/account you will need to set-up a new good administrator account. So click on the
Create a New Account icon (as shown on the screen above: second icon below Pick a Task…) and be sure to select the Computer Administrator option & Create account (
on the screen shown below.)
Once you’ve done that your computer should push you back to the User Accounts screen were you will need to press the
Change Accounts
icon (which is the first icon located beneath the Pick a Task label below)
This
Change Accounts
icon should take you to a screen were you should be able to see the different accounts that are located on you computer. Example below:
I’ve labeled our test account as “
Really Bad Account.
” So, click on which ever account that you have all of the unwanted programs on and you should see a screen similar to the one below.
The last icon option is
Delete Account
press that icon and you will see the screen below.
On this screen be sure to press the

Trayvon E. CooksSoccer in America “You’re no fan of soccer!” grumbled my (American) Football teammate Heather after I refused another of her weekly invitation to accompany her and our other football teammates to drink large amounts of beer and watch a Portland Timbers soccer game the following Thursday. I stood there and watched Heather as she stormed away with her fists clenched tightly at her sides. I was honestly confused by her unusually aggressive response. I had given her the same answer for the past six weeks. I looked over at a raven haired bartender as she approached handing me my drink. I said, “It’s because American soccer just isn’t the same as the international football games that I prefer to watch.” Read the rest of this entry »

When it comes to sports, Americans love baseball, football, & basketball. But, when it comes to all the other sports that people have come up with such as, rugby, tennis, polo, & soccer. The average American will show only a mild interest. I’ll admit, none of the other sports move me that much either. But, there is something different about soccer. Internationally soccer isn’t a sport that is just enjoyed, it is worshiped. By some it is even described as being the most beautiful sport to be played. When a soccer fan(not from America) speaks about their favorite soccer game. They speak about the game as if they themselves where actually on the field watching(even if they where in another continent). For the international soccer fan there is nothing greater than jumping from their seat, pumping their fist in the air, & screaming “GOAL!” when their team scores, and their is nothing worse for the international soccer fan then when the game ends & their opponents win. The question I have is why don’t we care? In America we have our own Major Soccer League but, it’s rare to see a kid standing in a jersey store rubbing his hands together in anticipation of purchasing a Landon Donovan jersey the way kids seem to when they see a Dwayne Wade jersey in their size.
So, this is what I would like to do my research paper on. I would just like to try & find out what the difference is between U.S. soccer & world soccer.

When I was reading through all of the ideas presented by our class, one idea by Jimbo21 struck me as absolutely fantastic “Cavemen!” I thought that cavemen would be an interesting topic because of the scientific proof of the existence of cavemen, & I thought that might be interesting to run that information agianst religious beliefs about the origin of man Adam & Eve, Thunderbird,…etc. So, first I went into the EBSCO website & typed in “Caveman.” But, the first few posts that came up were only concerned with the television show “Caveman,” which although somewhat entertaining wasn’t quite what I was looking for. So, next I went into the Multinomah County Library site & typed in “Caveman,” in the search cataloge, & was provided with a list of all of the books in the library’s cataloge that had anything to do with “Cavemen.” So, I clicked on a couple of the different items, & got to find out different information on the books. Such as, who wrote them, when they were written, & where they were published. All of this was interesting information, but I think I’m going to just use Google from now on.
