Free useful resources.....

....which I take advantage of.
Firstly, if you want a free website, the best I've found is:
www.webs.com
The 'sitebuilder' function is sometimes slow to load, but you can end up with a nice looking site, needing very little computer know-how to do it. Almost zero, in fact.
For storing files, usually those too big for emails, I use:
www.4Shared.com
I've never had a problem....they inform me that everything is checked by Kaspersky 'anti-net hooligan' before you download.
Finally, just for amusement, I have put this very small file at:
http://www.4shared.com/file/124138477/e ... e_Bin.html
If you download it, double-click it, and then click 'yes' to the question, it zooms off into the registry, and a right-click on the 'Recycle Bin' then has a 'rename' option.
The provider recommended creating a 'system restore' point before doing this. It's a very small change to the registry, and I've not experienced any problems.
It means you can change the name of the 'Recycle Bin' to something much more interesting - "Dolly's Handbag", "The Boot" or "Scrapyard", to name a few.
