 The default Firefox interface uses too much screen real estate, so I like to create more browsing space by changing its toolbars. In this article I'll show how to customize the Firefox browser interface so it fits on a single toolbar, without giving up any functionality.

 When I'm working on an article where I really need to focus, I like to cut distractions and maximize my work space. Writeroom and Dark Room are great full screen text editing apps for OS X and Windows. The problem is that these applications are better for writing fiction, where you don't usually need bold, italic and links in your text. Using my TaskBar AutoHide utility and a keyboard shortcut, you can quickly and easily maximize the space used for Office 2007 while minimizing distractions.

 I'm writing an article on maximizing your Windows screen real estate, and I wanted to toggle the taskbar auto hide setting with a keyboard shortcut. Unfortunately, the only built-in way to change the setting is to manually openTaskbar and Start Menu Properties and click the Auto Hide check box. This wasn't efficient enough for me, so I wrote a tray utility called Taskbar Autohide, which toggles the auto hide setting using a keyboard shortcut or tray icon. |

 I buy so many things online that I like having copies of my receipts just to keep track of it all. I printed paper receipts for a long time, but I eventually found that having an digital copy of a receipt makes a lot more sense than keeping a paper copy. Saving web receipts to PDF gives you the digital copy and the ability to print a paper copy at any time. In this article, I'll cover how easy it is to save PDF receipts in Mac OS X and a free add-on that does the same thing in Windows.

 The average desktop PC uses about 100 watts of power while it's running. Computers still take a long time to start up, so I understand why some people leave their PCs on rather than shut them down after every use. But when you start to add up the costs, leaving your computer on actually adds up to quite a bit of money over the course of year. With the improvements in Sleep mode in Windows Vista SP1 and the excellent power management built-in to Mac OS X, you can save money, power and have a PC that starts up quickly.
