As a power user on Windows and getting there on the Mac, I make it my duty to find and use every possible loophole of efficiency.

Here’s two that I use, or used to use on a day to day basis: (I say used to use, because now my primary computer is a Mac)

The First video show’s you how to move and manipulate your Taskbar. I made the video under Vista but it should work on XP.

And this next one shows you how to save surfing time by putting your favorite sites on your desktop:

I hope you like those tricks as much as I do, and if you have any other Windows power user tips, please email me: helpmetechshow@gmail.com or leave something in the comments.

Are you getting sick of going Cmd-Arrow to get around Mac OS X Spaces? Well I was too, so I sought a competitor. Enter Warp, and show your mouse a little love. Just download the Warp Preferences Pane from ksuther.com and you’ll be set. It allows you to set many things, from the option to see a preview of the next space when you move your mouse to that corner/edge and then click to switch. Or even just to mouse between them in a very efficient work flow. You can set the delay for activation and even use a modifier key to activate it. Check out the video for more:

Have you got trouble with your mighty mouse? Is it just not working the way it was when you bought it? Is the scroll bar more of a non scroll without a brick ball? Well follow these tips, and you’ll be set.
First you’re going to need a q-tip and some rubbing alcohol or a wet wipe , and a paperclip.
Then what you do is rub the scroll ball vigorously with the q-tip or wet wipe and you should be set. After a few minutes of rubbing the scroll ball, it should look like it did when you first got it. If it doesn’t, persist. If it worked, then you can get into scraping the dirt off the crevices with the paperclip. A bit hard to explain, so watch the video. Hope that saved you some money!

Hi,I’m Zane, the latest writer for the EZ Computer Help Blog. I am quite a tech geek, which I’m guessing is how I got this job. Anyway, I’ve been taken on board to talk tech, not do a Larry King Live segment about myself. I recently switched to a MacBook as my primary computer, but I still use PCs. I will do a lot of Mac stuff, but there will windows and other tech related videos. Why do I say video? Because I find it much easier to transfer information through video. (a second of video, after all takes up more data than a line of text.) If you’d like to know something, or ask me in particular a tech question,please feel free to email me: helpmetechshow@gmail.com I would really like to thank Chuck for allowing me to write for the blog, and I hope he continues to like my “work” If you want to see more, you can check out my YouTube Channel: http://www.youtube.com/helpmetechshow You can also follow me on twitter: http://www.twitter.com/Zane_techshow
