Q&A: How do I get my Taskbar back to where it belongs?

Posted on October 21, 2021

Question from Sherry:  Hi, Rick. I was typing a homework assignment in Microsoft Word when the doorbell rang.

It was the pizza delivery guy with the pizza I had ordered for dinner.

Anyway, I was away from the computer for maybe 2 minutes but when I got back my 2 year old was playing with it.

I about freaked out when I saw her playing with the mouse, but as it turned out my Word document was just fine.

The thing is she somehow managed to move the Taskbar from its usual place at the bottom of the screen all the way to the top.

She’s only 2 years old! How in the world could she have done that?

Can you tell me how to move it back to where it belongs?  [Read more…]

If I buy this laptop will I have to replace my external hard drive and other USB devices with new ones that have USB-C connections?

This is why I will never use (or recommend) a password manager

Posted on October 19, 2021

Do you use a password manager app to create, manage and store all of your passwords?

If so, you need to know that all password managers are potentially insecure and any vulnerabilities that arise could put ALL of your passwords at risk of being compromised at any time.

Why do I say this? Because of the evidence that keeps popping up from time to time.  [Read more…]

How to check your Mac for malware

Posted on October 18, 2021

Windows PC users have been dealing with viruses, trojans and adware for decades, but until recently Mac users didn’t really have to worry about malware infecting their computers.

I’m sorry to say that’s no longer the case.
