Hay muchos Web site de los cuales usted puede descargar las fuentes adicionales para libre, por ejemplo 1001 fuentes libres, Fuentes urbanas y muchos más. Las fuentes descargadas estarán en un archivo de cierre relámpago, así que el primer paso es desabrocharlas a su “tablero del escritorio” simplemente arrastrando el archivo de fuente allí. No hay necesidad de copiar los documentos del texto que están en el archivo de cierre relámpago al “tablero del escritorio”.

Una vez que usted haya copiado todas las fuentes nuevas usted desea instalar sobre su “tablero del escritorio” que usted puede instalarlas. Para hacer esto abra el “panel de control”. Su panel de control cualquiera será fijado a la nueva “categoría ve” encendido XP o Vista o la vieja “visión clásica”. Me ocuparé de cada método de abrir el programa de la instalación de la fuente por separado. Vista los usuarios pueden simplemente derecho-tecleo en cada archivo de fuente y chascar encendido “instale”; usuarios de otras versiones de Windows tenga algunos más aros a saltar a través.

Opinión de la categoría de XP
Chasque encendido el “aspecto y los temas” para abrir esa categoría.
Chasque encendido las “fuentes” en “ven también.” enumere en la izquierda de la ventana. Esto abrirá la carpeta de las “fuentes”.

Tipos del archivo
Esta lengüeta contiene una lista de todos los tipos del archivo que Windows sepa alrededor y que se configuren los programas para abrirlos si usted doble-tecleo en sus iconos.


Mientras que la imagen demuestra, si un documento de .doc doble-se chasca en él se abre en MS Word. Usted puede cambiar el programa que es asociado a un tipo del archivo seleccionando su entrada y presionando el “cambio…” botón.

Usted puede ser que desee de vez en cuando suprimir tipos del archivo de la lista, si usted no utiliza archivos de cierto tipo más. Destaque la entrada para el tipo del archivo y presione el botón de la “cancelación”. Esto reducirá el tamaño del Registro (un archivo que contiene la mayor parte de los ajustes para Windows y otros usos), pero no por bastantes para tener un impacto significativo en funcionamiento. Así pues, las ocasiones son que usted deseará probablemente dejar esta lista sola.

There is an option to create a new file type for the list, using the 'New' button, but frankly, you are better off just double clicking on...

This option is selected by default, to protect users from themselves, as is explained in the warning message that appears if you try to switch it off.


If you click 'Yes' on this dialog box you will be able to see these special system files. The image below shows various system files that are required by Windows to run, such as 'pagefile' which is the swap file which Windows users to manage memory. As the setting suggests, most users will want to leave this option selected.



Launch folder windows in a separate process
This setting, if selected, changes the way that Windows runs different instances of Explorer by running them in separate processes, so if one crashes the others should continue running. You may want to select this but according to user experience it seems to make little difference.

View Settings
The 'View' tab has two sections. In the first section, 'Folder Views' you can either set Explorer to show all folders according to the current settings using the 'Apply to All Folders' button; or, by clicking the 'Reset All Folders' button, Explorer can be set to display folders as they were when Windows was first installed - this excludes any changes made to the toolbars.


The second section has a number of 'Advanced settings' to change the look and the behaviour of Explorer.


Automatically search for network folders and printer
If this setting is selected Explorer will hunt round the local network for any shared folders or printers. The effects of this setting will be negligible for home users or anyone who is not on a large local area network within a company or other organisation.


Display the size information in folder tips
If this setting is ticked, Explorer will show the size of the contents of a folder if you hover the mouse over it. As shown in this picture:

What is an Operating System?

An operating system, or OS, is software that enables you to operate the computer. It manages the opening of files, the monitor display, printing, access to networks, and so on. The chances are you are using a version of Windows as your operating system, but this is not the only OS available. Others include the various versions of linux (such as Ubuntu) which are generally available for free, and OSX, which is the latest operating system for Apple Macs. The various operating systems will tend to look different from one another, they will store files in different ways, and will also run different programs. So, a program written for Windows will not work on Linux unless it is run through an emulator or another piece of software that acts like a translator, such as WINE.


What on Earth is a GUI?

GUI (pronounced 'gooey') stands for Graphical User Interface, and this refers to all the visual elements of an operating system, all the windows, icons, menus, buttons, tick boxes, etc. The user can interact with each of these elements using a mouse or other pointing device, which helped to...
