How to Set Up Multiple Spaces in Windows

May 11th, 2009 | 11 Comments | Posted in Apple/Mac/OSX, How To, Software, Windows

Program IconOne of the features that I love about Mac OS X Leopard is the ability to set up multiple desktop workspaces which are called Spaces.

Prevent DS_Store and Trashes Creation On USB Drives

September 6th, 2006 | 1 Comment | Posted in Apple/Mac/OSX, How To, Software

If you are like me and you use your flash drive between your Mac and your PC then you have probably noticed some extra files that Macs leave behind when you open it up in Windows. These files are usually titled .Trashes, .DS_Store, and various other dot underscore files, which are called resource forks.
