Computer illterate! Help!?
« on: February 22, 2007, 04:43:01 AM »
Wife did a windows upgrade(?) and now I can't do links. Usta highlight address bar and copy and paste. Now 'puter won't let me "copy" the address bar. I can still copy and paste other stuff. Provider is Verizon and have Google, Yahoo, Verizon toolbars across the top.

HELP!

What if you double- or triple-click in the address bar?  Does it highlight everything then?  Or, you can just put your mouse cursor at the beginning of the line, left-click and hold, and drag it across the line to the end and it'll highlight it...then right-click (or press CTRL+C) and select copy.

Am I misunderstanding your question?

Politicians and bureaucrats are considered productive if they swarm the populace like a plague of locust, devouring all substance in their path and leaving a swath of destruction like a firestorm. The technical term is "bipartisanship".
