Afternoon all you Foxy Ones.......... A short time ago I remember someone asking how to open a file when it has been checked to 'always use to open this file'........... I saved this from one of the newsletters I receive....... don't remember which one it was... but it tells how to change opening the file from the 'always use'......... I have not needed to try it yet..... If you ever want to open a file with an application other than the one assigned to it, just hold down the Shift Key while right-clicking on the file and select Open with from the contextual menu. When you choose this option, you'll see a list from which you can select a specific application to open the file, so you're not tied to the application you selected to open it with possibly by mistake......... Hope this helps someone............ Bunny

What a difference a century makes. In the summer of 1900... The average life expectancy in the United States was 47. Only 14% of the homes in the United States had a bathtub. Only 8% of the homes had a telephone, and most were party lines. A three minute call from Denver to New York City cost $11. There were only 8,000 cars in the US and only 144 miles of paved roads. The maximum speed limit in most cities was 10 mph. Alabama, Mississippi, Iowa and Tennessee were each more heavily populated than California. With a mere 1.4 million residents, California was only the 21st most populated state in the Union. The tallest structure in the world was the Eiffel Tower. The average wage in the US was 22 cents an hour. The average US worker made between $200 and $400 per year. A competent accountant could expect to earn $2,000 per year, a dentist $2,500 per year, a veterinarian between $1,500 and $4,000 per year and a mechanical engineer about $5,000 per year. More than 95% of all births in the United States took place at home. 90% of all US physicians had no college education. Instead, they attended medical schools, many of which were condemned in the press and by the government as "substandard." Sugar cost four cents a pound. Eggs were 14 cents a dozen. Coffee cost 15 cents a pound. Most women only washed their hair once a month and used borax or egg yolks for shampoo. The five leading causes of death in the US were: 1. Pneumonia and Influenza 2. TB 3. Diarrhea 4. Heart disease 5. Stroke The American flag had 45 stars. Arizona, Oklahoma, New Mexico, Hawaii and Alaska hadn't been admitted to the Union yet. The population of Las Vegas, Nevada was 30. The remote desert community was inhabited by only a handful of ranchers and their families. Plutonium, insulin and antibiotics hadn't been discovered yet. Scotch tape, crossword puzzles, canned beer and iced tea hadn't been invented. There was no Mother's Day or Father's Day. One in 10 US adults couldn't read or write. Only 6% of all Americans had graduated from High School. Some medical authorities warned that professional seamstresses were apt to become sexually aroused by the steady rhythm, hour after hour, of the sewing machine's foot pedals. They recommended slipping bromide, which was thought to diminish sexual desire, into the women's drinking water. Marijuana, heroin and morphine were all available over the counter at corner drugstores. According to one pharmacist, "Heroin clears the complexion, gives buoyancy to the mind, regulates the stomach and the bowels, and is, in fact, a perfect guardian of health." 18% of households in the United States had at least one full time servant or domestic. There were about 230 reported murders in the US annually.

On this "Day in History" 17 Nov 1853 Which Way To Turn? I've lived in the same town just about all of my life. Generally speaking I know my way around. Even the true shortcuts that always emaze the folks driving with me who would have never thought of such a route. I like to get places hitting the least number of stoplights. If I do say so myself -- and I am -- I'm pretty good at it. That said, there are times when you just don't know where to go, and a map helps. Helps a lot. Something else that really helps are those which we probably take for granted -- street signs. You know, those things on the corner that tell the names of the streets and are real helpful unless they've been hit by a city bus and turned in the wrong direction. All of which is to celebrate the fact that street signs haven't always been a given. It was on this date in 1853 that San Francisco's city fathers (and mothers) authorized the use of street signs.

What I understood Rose to say is that when she clicks on a PDF URL, the PDF file opens in Notepad instead of Adobe Acrobat Reader 3.0/4.0. This problem begins when, upon clicking on a PDF file anywhere (a web site URL or file on the hard drive), one tries to open the PDF file and Adobe Acrobat Reader is not installed, the computer "suggests" an application to use, such as Notepad, and the cursed checkbox is checked saying "Do you want to use this application forever with this file name extension (PDF)?", and we click to open. If that block is checked and it is an erroneous selection, you cannot undo that selection, even when later you install Acrobat Reader. Until the computer crashes and we reformat, we are stuck with the computer trying to open PDF files with Notepad! UNLESS, there is someone out there that can tell us how to cast out this demon spell. What I did to successfully work around that problem (but not fix it) was to download the PDF file to my hard drive. Then I would open my Acrobat Reader, and then open the file from Acrobat Reader. Worked like a charm. To actually fix the problem, I just waited for my computer to crash -- which of course it did eventually -- and I reformatted my hard drive. From now on, when that screen "Do you want to be forever cursed with using this file extension with the highlighted software?" If I don't know for sure, I UNCHECK THAT BLOCK!!! So, my question, and Rose's, is "How can one fix this little problem without reformatting the computer and reinstalling all of the software and data files again?"

Where is Krebs, I. T.? When I was looking for ggrandparents I found information in Church marriage records. The films were ordered and read at the local FHC. If you are near a library, or FHC they could order films for you.

I am looking for my great grandfather, John Flynn. I have been told that he was born in Illinois in 1869. I know that he married my ggrandmother in Krebs, I.T. on June 10, 1898 and died in 1909 around Coalgate, Okla. I'm not sure where to go next. I do know that he worked in the Coal mines and as a farm laborour. Would I need to go to the Oklahoma Historical Society and try to locate him in the 1870 Illinois census? If so, how would I go about that since I do not know his parents or what part of Illinois he may have been born in. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Sheryl
