Click one of the computer names that you want to access. Choose "Remote Control" from the menu that shows up. Enter your buddy's password and you'll get remote access to that computer. The whole password situation used for Remote Control bothers me a bit. While this is fine if you are in a work/home scenario, this might not be a good idea in the "buddy" scenario as the Remobo password and the Remote Control password are the same. So if you know someone's remote control password, you know their account password. Kinda l

If you're like me, you frequently need to move the same types of files to the same places over and over again. While you could keep a shortcut pointing to that location on your Desktop, there's an even easier (and more flexible) way to quickly move files to a favorite place.

The above tools are handy for running hard drive backups to another partition, external drives or your own FTP server. However if you want to backup only a handful of files and store them on reliable third party servers then you can try a free online backup service called Mozy . It's quick to configure, fully automated and available both for Mac and Windows PCs. The only problem is that the free account gives you only 2 GB of storage space. See all Mozy features h

In the screenshot below you can see the problems with having an old index. Here are fragments of old files which have been deleted but are still included in the search. If you want to rebuild it quickly leave your computer running all night. Background indexing slows down or pauses with user activity so if you only have your computer on when you are using it then it will take a significantly longer period of time to complete a full in

As you can see above, I cleaned out my folder so it only has a few items in it. Now I have the ability to create shortcuts to the Desktop, zip files, and send files to My Documents, My Pictures, and Screenshots. This last folder, 'Screenshots', I added by holding the Alt key while dragging Screenshots into the 'Send To' folder. This created a shortcut of the selected folder instead of moving it. If you don't feel comfortable with that hotkey, simply right click the desired item, click "New->Shortcut" and drag your new shortcut into the 'Send To' fol
