Tips and Tricks


If you forget to turn off your monitor when you power down your computer, here's an easy way to create an on-screen reminder that will appear every time you shut down.

In Simple Text or any other application, create a document that reads "Don't forget to turn off the monitor!" Use large type to make it noticeable. Then select the message and drag it to the desktop to make a clipping file. (If this doesn't create a clipping file, select the message, copy it, open the Scrapbook, paste it in, and then drag it from the Scrapbook to the desktop.) Next, double-click the clipping file to open it, and then adjust the size and position of its window to your liking. Rename the clipping Monitor Reminder and place it in the Shutdown Items folder inside the System Folder. Now whenever you shut down, the message reminding you to turn off the monitor will pop up.
