Internet Download Manager (IDM)

This is the worst piece of software I have ever seen!!! Don't use it if you can. The trial period is 30 days. After that a message pops up every time you try to download anything from the Internet. Here is that annoying message:

Internet Download Manager has not been registered for 30 days. Trial period is over and IDM is exiting...

I think the programmers should have better sense and write a more friendly note like this...

Your Internet Download Manager has expired. TQ for trying. You now have 2 choices - 1) To purchase IDM & register its use, or 2) To uninstall IDM and continue as before.

To uninstall IDM, go to Control Panel and uninstall. Reboot.

Option 2 gives a lot of hope...and peace of mind.

FamilyLink.com

How do I get a Familylink.com box on my Facebook profile to display my relatives?

To add a Familylink.com box on your Facebook profile you have to first add the FamilyLink.com application on Facebook. You can do this by searching "FamilyLink.com" in Facebook. Once you have the FamilyLink application all you have to do is change your Familylink Application settings. To do this, go to the bottom of your facebook window and click on "Applications" this will pull up a list, the second to last option is "Edit Applications" click on it to pull up a page where you can edit your applications, and their settings. Scroll down to Familylink.com (if FamilyLink.com isn't in the "Recently Used" list then use the pull down menu next to "show" and go to "authorized" to get a list of all of your applications), and click on the "edit settings" across from it. It will pull up a box, and click on the "profile" tab. The first option on the tab is Box. It will say either "available (add)" or "added (remove)". Click (add) and it should put the box either on the left column of your profile or under the boxes tab. If it already says "added(remove)", it means that you already have a box on your profile. It's just hidden away in your boxes tab. It's really easy to move it to your wall though. Just go to your profile, and click on the boxes tab. Once in there, find the relatives box and click on the little, blue pencil in the top, right corner. This will give you the option of "move to wall".
