Setting up Dual Monitors per your request

Arrange Multiple Monitors


One monitor serves as the primary monitor, and this monitor displays the Logon dialog box when you start your computer. In addition, most programs will display windows on the primary monitor when you initially open them. You can select different screen resolutions and different color quality settings for each monitor. Multiple monitors can be connected to individual video adapters or to a single video adapter that supports multiple outputs. To configure the arrangement of multiple monitors:
Click Start, and then click Control Panel.
Click Appearance and Themes, and then click Display.
On the Settings tab, click Identify to display a large number on each of your monitors. This shows which monitor corresponds with each icon.
Click the monitor icons and drag them to positions that represent how you want to move items from one monitor to another, and then click OK or Apply to view changes.NOTE: The icon positions determine how you move items from one monitor to another. For example, if you are using two monitors and you want to move items from one monitor to the other by dragging left and right, place the icons side by side. To move items between monitors by dragging up and down, place the icons one above the other. The icon positions do not have to correspond to the physical positions of the monitors. You can place the icons one above the other even though your monitors are side by side.

Change Primary Monitor


On the Settings tab of the Display Properties dialog box, click the monitor icon that represents the monitor you want to designate as the primary monitor.
Click to select the Use this device as the primary monitor check box. Note that this check box is unavailable when you select the monitor icon that is currently set as your primary monitor.


View Same Desktop in Multiple Monitors

On the Settings tab of the Display Properties dialog box, click the monitor icon that represents the monitor you want to use in addition to your primary monitor.
Click to select the Extend my Windows desktop onto this monitor check box. After you enable this feature, you can drag items across your screen onto alternate monitors. Or, you can resize a window to stretch it across more than one monitor.

Move Items Between Monitors


On the Settings tab of the Display Properties dialog box, click Identify to display a large number on each of your monitors. This shows which monitor corresponds with each icon.
Click the monitor icons and drag them to positions that represent how you want to move items from one monitor to another, and then click OK or Apply.
Drag an item on your desktop across your screen until it appears on the alternate monitor. Or, you can resize a window to stretch it across more than one monitor

Don't make commitments if you can't follow thru

Title says it all. Now days, people tell you just about anything to keep a smile on your face. Don't fall for it. If you see a gold tooth and it sparkles when they smile. Run the other way don't be another victim. Its time for people to start owning up; take responsibility for your actions, If you say hey I'll get that to you in a few days and you can't make the deadline, call say I fell behind, I need a couple of more days. DONT just not show up or call. We need to jump start our society back to our founders of this great nation. When a man or woman’s word meant something. Let not just stand around and say hey its ok anymore, because it’s not. I don’t mean pull out your pistols and start shooting up the place. I mean take a stand and don’t be afraid you’re going to offend someone, aren’t you offended already.


RANT!!!

How to email to a cell phone.

I sent out 20 to 30 emails today.

Tip of the day:


Get email reminders sent to you for everything.
Know the correct email address of the person you want to reach, and use that to send messages to the cell phone instead or as well.
Understand that because people now can join a new phone carrier and still maintain their original phone number, it makes it more difficult to know which phone carriers they are now using.
Remember these most popular cellular phone carriers email addresses. Use them to connect to anyone you need to send a message to.

T-Mobile: phonenumber@tmomail.net
Virgin Mobile: phonenumber@vmobl.com
Cingular: phonenumber@cingularme.com
Sprint: phonenumber@messaging.sprintpcs.com
AT&T: phonenumber@txt.att.net
Verizon: phonenumber@vtext.com
Nextel: phonenumber@messaging.nextel.com
US Cellular: phonenumber@email.uscc.net or @mms.uscc.net for picture messages
Cricket: phonenumber@sms.mycricket.com
Replace phonenumber with the cellphone number that you want to receive the SMS message (plus area code). [2]
