 07. Leaf Peeper Alert

 10. Don't believe your email

 And What's Coming Up Next Week in NNT Premium

 01. SECURE IE.  For the past month or so, our Software Review Panel has
 been giving a grueling test to Secure IE, a piece of software that blocks
 Flash and pop-ups, prevents malicious file downloads, lets you customize
 Security Zone settings as you browse dozens of Web sites simultaneously up
 to five times faster with a tabbed interface, annotate Web page with sticky
 notes and highlighter, and save complete Web pages, even secure server
 (HTTPS) pages and archive online transaction receipts.  For what we believe
 is one of the most thorough reviews ever conducted on a single piece of
 software, check out what our Panel had to say at
 http://www.NeatNetTricks.com/SoftwareReviews .  For a free trial download,
 visit http://www.secureie.com .  And if this one sweeps you off your feet,
 go to the NNT Store at http://www.NeatNetTricks.com/store and get a super
 deal, just $17.50 if you order before September 14.  With a 30-day
 guarantee, what's to lose?

 02. DISK CLEANUP ON XP.  Windows XP users can do some fast cleaning chores
 with Disk Cleanup.  Access this tool from the Start menu by right clicking
 on your hard drive.  Then select Properties and click on the Disk Cleanup
 button to determine how many files can be safely deleted.

 03. THANKS BUT NO THANKS.  Continuing our periodic feature of
 less-than-useful sites on the Web:  The International Center for Bathroom
 Etiquette at http://www.icbe.org/ gets our recognition this issue.  It says
 it's working hard to bring you the latest in cutting edge research and
 technology regarding bathroom etiquette.  We'll resist some obvious puns.

 . . . . .

 West Virginia's Diane Stratton recommended NNT to some friends and is now
 enjoying QuicKeys 2.0, a great Windows management software package.  Diane
 is our latest winner and you could be next.  Just go to the NNT Web site at
 http://www.NeatNetTricks.com and click on "Recommend NNT."  Nothing could
 be easier.

 . . . . .

 04. MOUSELESS WAY HOME.  To go home quickly in Internet Explorer, touch F6
 to highlight the Address Bar and type two periods (..) there.  The Enter
 key then takes you home.

 05. KARTOO.  Search engines are everywhere on the Internet but Kartoo at
 http://www.kartoo.net is quite unusual.  It's a meta search engine that
 displays results on a map in the form of a ball.  The larger the ball, the
 more relevant the result.  As you mouseover each result, site descriptions
 are revealed.  If all that sounds confusing, the explanation is more
 complicated than the service itself.  Just try it.

 . . . . .

 You should make it a habit to visit the NNT Store at
 http://www.NeatNetTricks.com/store . We try to have several great products
 there at a limited-time price much less than anywhere else on the Net.
 Currently, you'll find excellent ebooks, a very effective popup stopper,
 and the very useful utility described in item 01 above, along with the
 usual opportunity to subscribe to NNT Premium and ArchivesExpress.  Check
 us out, you'll be glad you did.

 . . . . .

 06. XP TIME FEATURE.  Windows XP added a nice feature that heretofore
 required a separate software application.  It will connect, either at a
 programmed time or manually, to a time server via the Internet and reset
 that often erroneous internal clock.  Just click on the time in the systems
 tray, go to Date and Time Properties and click the Internet Time tab.

 07. LEAF PEEPER ALERT.  A bit early, but soon the changing colors of autumn
 will begin here in the U.S.  For those who like to follow the display,
 consider http://www.stormfax.com/foliage.htm for a comprehensive collection
 of links and toll-free numbers to each state to determine peak color times.

 08. SAVINGS SCRAPS.  Some oldies are worth repeating.  If you're working
 with text in, for example, MS Word or WordPad, and would like a handy way
 to save a portion for later easy retrieval, just select (highlight) it and
 click/drag it to your desktop.  When the newly created icon is clicked on,
 it will show the application with which the scrap was created, along with
 the first few words of the text.  A double click opens the text in the
 application with which it was created.

 09. QUICK ACCESS.  To go to a frequently used program, you may find
 yourself drilling down to the desktop and searching out the shortcut
 icon.  Consider instead setting up a key combination that will provide
 quick access without using the shortcut. Right click on the shortcut and
 select Properties.  In the Shortcut key window, select any key you can
 remember and click OK.  Ctrl+Alt and that key will open the application
 whenever needed.

 10.  DON'T BELIEVE YOUR EMAIL.  We've been asked about those emails with
 virus attachments that appear to be coming from NNT, asking for a
 confirmation of a subscription.  Don't believe it, and don't open the
 attachments.  Maybe this exchange between NNT and Lyris (our mail manager)
 will clear things up:

 NNT: Is there anything that can be done about the current strains of virus
 that implant on address books and randomly send email asking alleged
 subscribers to verify their subscription (when they haven't subscribed at
 all)? I've received some of these as well, and I know it's become a
 widespread problem with other ezine publishers, creating a lot of ill will
 all around.  Is there some configuration that we could change to keep
 these from going out except to legitimate subscribers?

 Lyris:  Unfortunately, there isn't much we can do about this since it
 isn't actually ListManager doing the sending.  The real problem is that
 people sometimes will add the "join" address to their address book and
 that is what causes the problems.  The best we can do is advise people not
 to have their address books set to automatically add any email address
 that they send a message to even once.  The main culprit here seems to be
 Outlook Express.

 WHAT'S COMING NEXT WEEK:  Another batch of Neat Net Tricks in the Premium
 issue, including:

 *  A great collection of information and free downloads to make your system
 more secure.

 *  Free software to measure and display your real-time Internet speed.

 *  Can you handle still another popup stopper - that's interference free -
 and at no cost?

 *  An easy-to-use tool to store and arrange all your passwords, user IDs,
 and other info.

 *  A Microsoft Word tip to easily work around that pesky autocompletion
 feature.

 *  A whole arsenal of tools to combat spam.

 *  Software that provides more than 200 interesting facts about your
 computer and displays about your CPU, memory, operating system, and your
 computer's power source.

 *  Our in-depth article discusses how to best manage our important
 passwords and get out of trouble when we -inevitably - forget those passwords.

 And more!  If you haven't subscribed yet, you won't find a better source of
 useful information for just 42 cents per issue.  That's $10 for a year's
 worth - 24 issues - at the NNT Store, http://www.NeatNetTricks.com/store .
