Windows operating systems

will hide certain files from you and this includes

Windows 7

. There are ways to

view hidden files

but it requires a little tweak in

Windows Explorer

There is a way to get

visual previews of websites

you have open using

Firefox 3.6

. You just need to change one value in the

browser configuration

in order to activate this feature, then use it by pressing CTRL+Tab. It's a feature similar to Windows 7's Flip 3D where you get a

preview of the windows

you have open.

If you like

listening to music

on your

Android phone

then you no doubt have some music on your storage device. Of course, if you get sick of listening to that, it would be nice to

listen to FM radio

so long as you have the app. We'll show you

how to get FM radio

on your Android in this episode.

If you

use Google Maps

, you'll notice that

has released

Drag 'n' Zoom

, it's easy to

zoom to an exact location

. We'll show you how to use it in this tutorial!

free application

that will

turn speech into text

Internet search with speech

If you like to

customize your software

then you'll be pleased to know that you can

create color schemes

for your

Office 2010 Suite

unique color scheme

so that

Microsoft Word

could be blue,

Excel

could be black and so on.

Those of you who find yourselves constantly

sending text messages

may want to check out

chompSMS

. It's available as a free application for your Android, but has a paid version with ads removed. With the application, you get your choice of two widgets that will always show you

how many messages you have

waiting.

Even if you don't know

what CAPTCHA stands for

, you've more than likely run into them while browsing the Internet. They're those jumbled up letters and numbers that you're often told to type back in before creating a new email address. It turns out that this exercise is actually a test to

differentiate between humans and computers

. These

CAPTCHA tests

have evolved quite a bit since their creation.
