Today’s featured tech tip….
These settings can make your Windows PC easier to use
Do you (or someone you care about) have a disability that makes it difficult to use a Windows PC?
If so, I recommend that you check out all of Windows 11’s “Accessibility” settings or Windows 10’s “Ease of Access” settings to see all the things you can tweak to make your machine easier to use.
Here’s how to display the Accessibility” settings screen in Windows 11:
1 – Right-click the Start button, then select Settings from the menu.
2 – In the left-hand pane, click Accessibility.
And here’s how to display the “Ease of Access” settings screen in Windows 10:
1 – Right-click the Start button, then select Settings from the menu.
2 – Click Ease of Access.
Now that you have these all-important settings on your screen you can go through each category of settings by clicking on it. You’re sure to find something in there that will help you.

Rick’s Daily Pick…
SentrySafe Fireproof and Waterproof Safe
If you’ve been reading my tech blog and newsletter for a while you know that I’m constantly posting about the need to create regular backups of your computer’s hard drive or SSD. It really is that important.
If you do regularly make those backups, where are you storing the backup drive? Hopefully it’s inside a quality fireproof and waterproof safe. After all, a backup won’t do you a bit of good if it gets destroyed by the same disaster that destroys your computer.
This is the safe I use to store my backups. I recommend that you consider doing the same.
Today’s post from ‘My Daily Smile’…
“Waiting for ships that don’t come in…”
