Setting CutePDF to open in Google Chrome instead of Internet Explorer in Windows 7.

Setting CutePDF to open in Google Chrome instead of Internet Explorer in Windows 7.

Ack! Let me backtrack. How did I do that???

________________________________________________

OPEN WITH:

[Program doesn't show in Windows Default list].

So... I used drop-down: 'other programs.'

[Program still didn't show].

+ UNCHECK the box that says "Always use the selected program to open this file."

Click the "Browse" button.

Browse through "Local Disk (C:)" [That icon is WAY over in left column].

Open "Program Files (x86)".

Open "Google" folder.

Open "Chrome" folder.

Open "Application" folder.

Choose "Chrome" [that is, Chrome.exe, the application].

Once you've chosen it, re-check the box that says "Always use the selected program to open this file."

__________________________________________________

[Now, before all of this, even, I'd had to set CutePDF
to open in a browser instead of to open in Adobe Reader; but
the only browser Windows was showing in the default list
was, of course, Internet Explorer.]

All of this started with an attempt to save a PDF, and save it in a 6x9 format.

To do the 6x9 format, I changed the page size in both my "Word" document and in the PDF Printer properties to "Custom" and "6.00 width" x "9.00 height." Seems as if I also had to choose the printer tray of "only one." There were some questions (load lengthwise, roll feed, etc.); so far, I don't know how to answer those questions, and haven't yet found the answer in forums. I left it at default. Also, in setting the custom page size in Windows7, with the weird printer interface that's available for my HP Deskjet 5000, I couldn't find some of my usual options, including any way to name and save the custom format I'd just configured. In my old computer, I did manage to save a Custom format. Maybe it has to do with using CreateSpace's template. I haven't downloaded that yet on this new PC.

Still beating my head against Microsoft's user-unfriendly brick wall, as always happens when I get a new machine. Consolation: this time, I have a back-up (very old) PC, on which I plan to load Linux and see if life gets any better...

Fungi
Fungi include one-celled yeasts slightly bigger than bacteria, and multi-celled mushrooms and molds.

Fungi do not have chlorophyll to make their own food, so they get their nutrition as parasites or by breaking down remains of dead plants or animals. Some fungi are poisonous (e.g., Amanita mushrooms), but some have beneficial uses. For example, Penicillium notatum produces the antibiotic penicillin and Saccharomyces cerevisiae is the yeast used to make bread rise and to brew beer. Fungal diseases are called mycoses and include:

Aspergillosis - infection of sinuses and lungs

Blastomycosis - skin and pulmonary infections

Candidiasis - cutaneous and vaginal infections. Candida albicans is the most common cause of vaginal yeast infections.

Coccidioidomycosis - may cause cough, chest pain, shortness of breath

Cryptococcosis - may be transmitted in pigeon droppings

Multicellular parasites

Multicellular parasites include various kinds of worms and fungi that cause diseases such as:
Ascariasis (roundworms)

Hookworm

Lymphatic filariasis or elephantiasis (transmitted by mosquitos)

Pinworm

Schistosomiasis (liver or blood flukes)

Tapeworm

Trichinosis - a disease caused by consumption of poorly cooked meat that contains cysts of Trichinella spiralis.

Tinea corporis, tinea pedis (ringworm, athlete's foot)

TV Locating Channels / Finding Local Lineup

Cable, satellite, HDTV, etcetera: finding local TV listings has become complicated. AOL/Huffington quit working (FlashPlayer problem?)

Here are a few sites that help:

TV Tango has a searchable blog.

TV.com  has local listings.

TitanTV can go forward; also goes back one full day.

Can try searching Twitter for chatter!
