• Sharing over a network a computer file that contains an infected file

Frequently, cleaning your hard disk manually is more effective than using Disk Cleanup. Disk Cleanup won't find all the files you want to delete, and it might also delete files you'd prefer to keep

A manual cleaning should include the following steps:

• Empty the Recycle Bin.
• Search for all files that end in .bak and .tmp and that start with ~ (use the wildcard * when you searchfor example, *.tmp, *.bak, and ~*.*). Delete them all, except for any files that are dated the current or previous day. You might find some files can't be deleted because they are in use. Don't worry about it; just leave them.
• Delete your temporary Internet files by running Internet Explorer and choosing Tools > Internet > Options > General > Delete Files.
• Delete files in your \TEMP folders. There might be two of these folders: one named C:\TEMP and the other named C:\Windows\TEMP.
• Delete old system restore points, which can take up a substantial amount of space. You can delete all your old system restore points except the most current one, so before doing this, make sure you don't need any old points. Run Disk Cleanup, then choose the More Options tab and click the Clean Up button in the System Restore section.

Personal keyboard preferences are idiosyncratic; even a minor matter such as where the Alt or Ctrl keys should be located can inspire fevered debate. So, if you have personal preferences about where keys should be located, you can remap your keyboard to your own tastes using the TradeKeys utility from PC Magazine.

To remap your keyboard, after you run the program, choose the key you want to change from the "Map from" area, and then choose the key you want it mapped to from the "Map to" area. For example, to remap my Left-Alt key to be a Windows key, I chose Left-Alt in "Map from" and Left-Window in "Map to." Then, I clicked "Map." Keep on mapping keys in this way until you're satisfied with your new keyboard; then choose Save. The new mapping will not take effect until you log off and then log back on. On some systems, you'll have to reboot.

Sometimes you would like to connect to your home machine from work or while traveling. Making your home machine a virtual private network (VPN) server is a secure way to accomplish this. While you have an established VPN session with your home machine, you can access files from its hard drive or other machines on the network that have file sharing enabled.

Preparing your home machine to accept VPN connections is fairly straightforward. Click Start Settings > Control Panel > Network and Internet Connections > Network Connections > Create a new connection. This will launch the New Connection Wizard. While advancing through this wizard, the options you want to enable are "Set up an advanced connection," "Accept Incoming Connections," and "Allow virtual private connections." The sixth screen of the wizard allows you to specify the users that can use the VPN; make sure you enable at least one account. After the wizard is complete, nothing further needs to be done; the VPN is ready to accept incoming connections. You can test this by using a VPN client to connect to the IP address of the VPN server machine.

Outlook Express has a different data structure than Outlook does, so you'll need to back up different files. Express is messier than Outlook; it stores your email in multiple files, and you'll have to back up all of them, rather than just a single file, as you do with Outlook. And you'll have to back up Registry keys as a way to save your personal settings.

Mail messages in Outlook Express are kept in files with .dbx extensions. To find out their locations, open Outlook Express and chose Tools > Options > Maintenance > Store Folder. Go to that folder and back up all the .dbx files. Expect to see a lot of them; two dozen or more are not that uncommon, depending on how many mail folders you have. Then, to restore them, just copy them back to their original folders

TCP/IP problems can be exceedingly difficult to troubleshoot, and at times your TCP/IP connection appears to break for no apparent reason. If you have a broken connection, try the following

• Try automated repair
• Right-click the broken connection in the Network Connections folder and choose Repair.
• Run the Network Setup Wizard. It walks you step by step through TCP/IP and network configuration and will correct any errors you might have introduced inadvertently.
• Reset your router. If you have a home network, the problem might lie with the router or in the connection between the router and your broadband provider
• Reset your cable modem or DSL modem. If you have a broadband connection, the problem might lie in the assignment of your IP address by your ISP. Power off your cable modem or DSL modem, unplug its Ethernet cable, and leave it powered off for five minutes. Then restart it. This is also a good time to reset your router. You can also try releasing and renewing after you've turned the connection back on.

When it comes to physically connecting your network, you have two ways to go wired or wireless. A wireless network is more convenient (no wires to run), but a wired network is faster. Which you choose depends on how you use the computers you network together.

If you use your network primarily to share an Internet connection or a printer or to transfer the occasional word processing file, wireless should work just fine. However, if you plan on transferring a lot of big files from one PC to another, or using your network for multiplayer gaming, you’ll want to stick to a faster wired network.
