It's all Tamara's fault, of course. She started it.

This morning my computer wouldn't shut down. Asked if I wanted to 'End
task' - yes. Still didn't shut down. Asked again - yes. Still didn't shut
down. By this time the bits that would shut the computer down had been ended
with 'End task'. So I did a reboot. It started scanning the disk for errors,
while telling me that I hadn't shut down properly, and in order to avoid
having to scan the disk, please remember to go through the correct shut down
sequence in future. GRRR.

Then DH switched on, composed a long email. The computer froze. He got
himself out of that by 'End tasking' Outlook Express but lost his email.
Then he yelled the stupid computer was playing up and would I come and sort
it out before be threw it through the window. Clicking on the Outlook
Express icon on the task bar produced a window telling us it was a shortcut
to launch Outlook Express, but it didn't launch it. I tried double clicking
on the same icon on the desktop and it launched Outlook Express. So I told
him to manage with that till I had time to look into the problem with the
one on the taskbar later. When he'd finished his session he switched off.

I've just sat at the computer to sort the problem out. What problem? Outlook
Express launched from the icon on the toolbar.

Well, it's a computer isn't it? and a Bill Gates operating system at that.

I had no problem printing the folded star ornament. I do a print preview
before I print any web page because I never know if it's going to print the
whole page, just the frame selected (how do I know which one's selected?) or
each frame on a separate piece of paper or nothing at all. Sometimes I get a
choice of those options in the print preview.
