Tip of the Month [February]: Clear the "help" message for the browser:  status default "".

Tip of the Month [January]: To derive the current system's GMT offset or time zone (courtesy of George Potemkin):
Convert string value of _MstrBlk._MstrBlk-Timestamp to the elapsed seconds from the start of the Epoch (00:00:00, January 1, 1970) and compare it with max value of _File._Last-change.

Tip of the Month [November]: To solve the "Windows defrags boot disk upon startup" issue (solution courtesy of Julian Lyndon-Smith):
Go to Start/Run/Regedit and navigate to this key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Dfrg\BootOptimizeFunction
Create a new String value, or modify the existing value, called 'Enable' and edit the value according to Y = enabled, N = disabled . Exit your registry, you may need to restart or log out of Windows for the change to take effect

Tip of the Month [October]: Use INPUT-VALUE attribute instead of SCREEN-VALUE, for data in the proper format.
