We show you the necessary steps. 00:50:27 micheline: https://www.techrepublic.com/article/how-to-display-seconds-in-the-system-clock-in-windows-10/ 00:51:52 E O'Driscoll: I'm not ready for reg edit 00:53:39 Tom Trottier: -1500 good for Parkinson's patients.... 00:53:48 Chris Taylor: Anyone who wants to have a co-pilot while trying regedit for the first time, contact me by email chris.taylor@opcug.ca and I can do a remote to your computer using Quick Assist and help you out. It is not as fearsome as you might think 00:53:59 E O'Driscoll: I find the "disappearing" scroll bars very annoying. 00:55:30 Chris Taylor: I am glad others don't think Microsoft has done a good thing foisting disappearing scroll bars on all of us!!! 00:56:42 Alan German: @Elizabeth - Chris's tip to turn off the hide-scroll-bars option works. My start menu slide had this feature disabled so that the thin bars were thick (well, thicker!) 00:59:34 E O'Driscoll: Thanks 01:02:19 Alan German: Next week - regular monthly meeting 01:02:20 Alan German: MICROSOFT TEAMS – HOW PRACTICAL FOR NON-CORPORATE USERS? Speaker: Lawrence Patterson, OPCUG Zoom, Google, Facebook Messenger, FaceTime, all are used in our personal lives to keep in touch with families and friends. And Microsoft doesn’t want to feel left out (or suffer loss of potential revenue) by hoping we’ll use Teams for all of our meeting needs. Join us on March 9th as Lawrence Patterson explores why we may want to consider Teams from a personal perspective and a brief overview of Teams’ stronger organizational features. 01:07:25 Bill: Thanks Bob. Great presentation, as usual. Lots of great information to think about. 01:12:14 E O'Driscoll: I wonder why some sites don't function properly with VPN. Do they think it is a malicious caller? 01:13:55 Timothy: The Ontario Lottery doesn't like VPN's because they only those who live in Ontario to buy tickets online and VPNs tend to block your location. 01:15:07 Alan German: @Tim CBC Music Streams does the same thing. Presumably it's related to their licensing of the music that they play. 01:15:36 Chris Taylor: It is not so much it "blocks" your location - it is actually showing your location as being a different location - typically a different country. 01:16:21 E O'Driscoll: Very interesting about the Captchas. 01:16:30 Timothy: Some countries have made it illegal to have an VPN on your device. 01:17:22 Chris Taylor: Fongo https://www.fongo.com/ 01:17:27 Natalie: Thanks Bob! 01:17:47 faber ichelle’s iPad: Thank you I really appreciate the information 01:19:33 Bob Herres: Allan is very right, as usual...
