Control Panel->System->Advanced tab->Perfirmance Settings->Use dropdown shadows for icon labels on the desktop(set checked !!) really worked for me !!

As well known I could specify the text color in the body tag like: <BODY TEXT=WHITE LINK=WHITE VLINK=RED ALINK=WHITE> What I want to achieve now is that always (!) the text of the last visited link and the text of the link under the cursor are red. All other links should be white. The problem with the construction above is that a visited link remains for the rest of the session red regardless wether it was visited 17 clicks back in...

My organization is developing a set of "standards" for websites built inhouse. The first question that comes to mind is what would be a good standard default size for <p> text? 12 point? Which begs the question, what unit of measurement should we use for specifying font sizes, points or ems? Thanks. -Fleemo

Visual Studio provides an icon editor but I can't figure out how to create a transparent icon. My app always shows the full 32x32 square, with a wide background instead of a transparent one. How do I get it to look transparent?

Hello there, I'm having some problems setting the TextBox.Text Property in my code and having it returned to the client in the source when the TextBox.TextMode="Password". I know this is generally not a good idea to fill it with the actual password but I would like to put '*'s in it as place holders just so it looks like the password is actually typed out in there. Thanks,

Sorry if this sounds like a dumbass newbie question. I'm getting crazy or something, but somehow I can't get this simple thing to work: 1. In general, how do I center text and/or images vertically? 2. How would I do a top bar with a logo on the left, and an icon + text + combobox (small form with one select item) on the right, all vertically centered to eachother? Like this: http://i41.tinypic.com/2mhv1gl.gif And with "how", I mean:...

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
