Newbie Club Tip: Get your speaker icon back. How to get your speaker icon back:

Did the little yellow speaker that controls audio volume disappear from your taskbar's system tray? If so, open the Multimedia Control Panel. Under the Audio tab, check the "Show volume control on the taskbar" option in the Playback section (in Win98, the option is at the bottom of the dialog box). Click on OK, and the yellow speaker should return. If not, try reinstalling your audio driver and then repeat these steps.

Newbie Club Tip: Universal command post. How to set up a your universal command post:

One of Win98's most powerful hidden gems is a universal command line. From here you can launch programs, open folders, go to Web sites and more. Right-click on the taskbar and select Toolbars/Address. When the Address box shows up on your toolbar, click and hold on the word Address and drag it to the top of your Desktop. Right-click on it and select Always on Top. Now, when you maximize applications, they'll expand between your Address bar at the top and your taskbar at the bottom.

Working on my new directory. I've been working on my directory (on the right side of every page at John Dilbeck's Ramblings) all day today. I think I know how to do this now, and I'm going to start testing it.

If you see this announcement and you make handmade arts and/or crafts, email me at wizard@grove.net with the following information: Your name, company name, state, county, type of craft (medium such as blacksmithing, woodworking, etc.), and the URL to your website. For the next couple of weeks I'll be adding links to the directory for free.

This only applies to hand-made arts and crafts. If you purchase and resale, I'll be happy to add you, but query me at the same address for further information. If you have any other site that appears to fit in my directory, feel free to email for further information.
