Kara can tutor anyone anywhere using a combination of the telephone and a special remote program. The program enables her to move her mouse around on your screen while you're learning the computer. At the same time it enables her to see what you are doing during the computer lesson.

Remote training:
$15 for 15 minutes with only a 15-minute minimum.
This is a great way to get a little learning in during these tough
economic times.

Computer lessons in person:
$70 per hour.

How to Close a Minimized Window on the Taskbar

Do you have minimized windows on the taskbar that need to be closed? The taskbar is the blue bar at the bottom of your screen. When minimizing windows or programs, their names appear there and they're STILL OPEN. All these windows should be closed BEFORE shutting down the computer. (You may also want to shut them down at other times for various reasons.)

Put your mouse pointer on the name of the open window or program (on the taskbar) you want to close.

Right click. A contextual menu appears. That's that box of choices that pops up when you right click.

Left click on Close, the choice with the "X" beside it.

That's it! You've closed your open program without having to maximize it first. Nice keyboard shortcut, eh?
