The only way I'm aware of to delete large amounts of emails is using search operators to find and delete emails. |

The thing I find most baffling about this is Microsoft's not following what I would have thought to be an installation standard. No where does installing this (and it isn't the first that bit me) does it show up in the uninstall part of control panel. It just goes somewhere and the standard way of uninstalling programs doesn't work. I'm a fan of Revo Uninstaller Pro (what doesn't have a "Pro" version anymore?) and it didn't show it and could not find it either. Programs have generally uninstalled using Microsoft's uninstaller (or so variation of it) for years and suddenly no more? |

Best Free Antivirus Software | 4 months 1 week ago | phoneguy |
I decided on Sophos Home. Sophos used to be a Enterprise only Antivirus but you can now use a free home version. You do have to manage it online but it is light on resources from what I've seen, it works on Windows 7, and I have not seen a better alternative. I am still open to suggestions. |

Windows Store Apps don't have a standard installer or uninstaller like traditional apps (e.g. .exe or .msi). They are called Progressive Web Apps (PWA) and use the .appx extension. They are stored in the C:\Program Files\WindowsApps folder (if C: is where you've installed Windows).

How to Take a Snapshot of Web Page and Store It Online | 4 months 6 days ago | rhiannon |
It's working fine for me now in a few different browsers on two different internet connections on mobile and laptop. I've had mixed results over the years with the sites that check if a website is down so I tend to check many of them if I think a site is down. Some will say a site is working, some not. That's the result I've gotten now. This says it's up: https://isitdownorjust.me/archive-is/. Another says it's been down for maintenance for 100 days. There are some issues with Cloudflare with this and other sites. If you’re using a DNS service that could be an issue. I'd try a different browser. I'm running into more and more site availability issues with the newer versions of Chrome based browsers. Lol I ran into one just now, a site I use often and used last night is now flagged as unsafe in a chrome based browser but is fine in Firefox. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ |

Archiving a page is different from a screenshot. It stores the whole page in its original format. You can copy things from the page, links work, etc. It's an active web page, not a static screenshot. It stores the page online at a unique URL. Any previously archived pages are there for comparison. It's very much like the Internet Archive Wayback Machine, the links and content are intact (minus scripts and some interactive elements). |

How to Take a Snapshot of Web Page and Store It Online | 4 months 5 days ago | rhiannon |
I'm not familiar with .mht. I would save a page using your usual method and save the same page at the site and compare the two. The page is also stored online, so is accessible from a device with an internet connection and can look up other websites and any previous iterations that may have been saved.

If you are installing the 'Everything Toolbar' and come to the step where you need to select 'Explorer.exe' but cannot find it... It's actually called 'Windows Explorer', so scroll further down to 'W', select 'Windows Explorer' and click the 'restart' button and you should be good to go... |

I used Everything for a long time. But, a few years ago I found Wizfile https://antibody-software.com/wizfile/ It indexes the entire disk in a coupla seconds. It won's search across disks, which I think Everything can do. But, it's so fast that that doesn't really matter. The same company also has Wiztree, which replaces windirstat. Same thing, just a few secs, and it's done. Both are fully functional shareware, so free to try out. Not affiliated, just a user/customer. |

These recordings vary in length as you describe, but 'loop'. They are meant to be a soothing background (white) noise for relaxation rather than a full length movie. You may be more interested in an earlier posting also by Rhiannon from back in June... |

You're welcome. I prefer my Noise to other sites like noisli.com. You have to create an accout there and the sounds on the the free plan are limited. I agree, my Noise is hands down the best noise generating site I've come across, paid or free.

Listen to Forest Sounds Around the World With Tree.fm | 3 months 3 weeks ago | rhiannon |
I enjoyed listening to several of the forest sounds since they loop/repeat. It's pleasant background sound. Some were distinct enough that the repeating sounds bothered me a bit. If your ear picks up repetitive patterns easily the site may not appeal to you. As Sturgeon General mentions, you may enjoy my Noise, and there are many good collections of nature sounds on YouTube. |

Best Free Video Cutter and Joiner | 3 months 3 weeks ago | leblancj |
I have a paid version of Machete that I have used for several years but just recently came across a limitation: it doesn't handle large files well. Each .avi file from my 2001 Sony MiniDV camcorder is about 25 GB in size. Machete will allow edits (e.g., trims along key frames) but it cannot save the modified file. It goes into a 'non-responding' state. Freeware LosslessCut handled the same files with no problem. Support from Machete acknowledged the problem and recommended that I split the files before trimming. Kind of defeats the purpose of having a user-friendly lossless editor! |

I had to login for the first time in years just to wish you the best. This website has helped me find the best freeware ever and helped steer me away from "acquiring" software. I used to show people this website all the time when I was working retail and helping people with their computer and electronic purchases. Sometimes they would come in looking software to do specific things and I would show them this site and tell them to see if they could find what they were looking for. Words really can't explain how valuable this site has been to me over the years. Enjoy your retirement and thanks again.for all you've done. |
