Deleting Your Temporary Internet Files
Did you know
that whenever you access a website your web browser
automatically saves the websites' files to your computers'

can access that site even faster. That's great, most
of the time, but sometimes you may miss valuable updates

visit. This is especially applicable with flash interactive
websites where your browser 'caches' the flash files.

Compressing Files for Email
Have you tried to email an attachment to someone only to find that it is too large to get through your mail servers due to file size limitations. If this is the case you could try compressing or 'zipping' your files up to make them smaller.

file management on the windows platform. Prior to this you could have used WinZip or equivalent software to compress your files.
