• PC User's Tip
  

It's really handy to have access to the Volume Control panel in the event you quickly need to move the volume slider up or down. XP ships with almost a clean slate for both the desktop and taskbar. So, if you'd like to place the volume control icon in the taskbar, you're going to need to make an adjustment.

To place the volume control icon in the taskbar, follow these steps:

1. Single-click the Start menu.
2. Single-click Control Panel.
3. Single-click Sound, Speech, and Audio Devices.
4. Single-click Sounds and Audio Devices to launch the Sound and Audio Devices properties.
5. On the Volume tab, locate the text labeled "Device Volume" and place a check mark next to the text labeled "Place volume icon in the taskbar."
6. Single-click Apply.

After you follow the above instructions, you will have a volume icon in your taskbar. Now all you need to do is double-click this icon to bring up your Volume Control panel.
 

• Mac User's Tip
  

Once you have completed an important project on your Mac, a good practice is to lock your work in a folder. Once you lock a folder, no one can make changes, additions, or deletions without entering the password.

To lock a folder:
1. Select the folder in the Finder.
2. Choose File > Get Info.
3. Select the Locked check box.
4. Close the Get Info window.

Once a folder is locked, whenever you attempt to drag an item out of the folder, or put an item into the folder, Mac OS X informs you that changes can’t be made to the folder without the authenticating. This reminds you that the folder is protected before you start making changes to it.
