Q: Right-click on your desktop. Hover the cursor over "New" and click "Shortcut" on the next menu that appears. Copy and paste the following into the text field:  shutdown.exe -s To create a restart shortcut, replace "-s" with "-r" ("shutdown.exe -r"). Without changing any settings, the shutdown shortcut will shut down the computer after 30 seconds. To change the timer, add "-t XXX" to the end of the command. XXX represents the number of seconds delay you want prior to shutdown. For example: shutdown.exe -s -t 45 will create a shortcut that shuts down after 45 seconds. To add a "goodbye" message, type -c "your message" (including the quotation marks) at the end. Click "Finish" when done. If you’d rather have a custom icon instead of the default Program icon that Windows assigns, right-click the shortcut and choose "Properties". In the Shortcut tab, click the Change Icon button. Choose an appropriate icon and then press OK to confirm. You'll see a window counting down and your message will be shown. Once the timer runs out, all your programs will start to close and Windows will shut down.
A: Create a new shortcut on your desktop. Enter the shutdown command. Adjust the shutdown timer. Type a name for the shortcut. Change the icon. Double-click the shortcut to initiate shutdown.

Q: If your hard drive is still spinning but you're encountering performance issues, it's best to stop the hard drive from running as soon as possible. Once you've turned off your computer, don't turn it on again until you can take it to a professional repair service. If you're worried about an external hard drive malfunctioning, you can simply unplug it from your computer. If you can get your hard drive to work on a computer other than the one in which it currently resides, the problem isn't necessarily with the hard drive itself--it's with the cables or the ports on your computer.  If you're using an external hard drive, this is as easy as unplugging it from your computer and plugging it into a different one. You'll also want to try a replacement cable in case the old one is malfunctioning. Internal hard drives present a more complicated problem. In order to diagnose your internal hard drive's connection health, you'll first need to remove the drive from your computer. After doing so, you can buy a hard drive docking station or a USB cable converter (Amazon sells both) that allows you to connect your external hard drive to another computer. Before removing a hard drive, make sure your computer is unplugged and the battery is disconnected (if applicable). Removing a hard drive is an incredibly difficult task on a Mac. If you intend to do so anyway, proceed with caution. In rare cases, a hard drive failing to work on your specific computer (but working on others) can be symptomatic of a failing motherboard. If you can get your hard drive running on any computer other than your own, you should take your computer into a tech company somewhere to get it checked out. Hard drives have three distinct components that are likely to cause a drive failure if they malfunction:   PCB - The circuit board (usually on the bottom of your hard drive) controls most of your hard drive's functions, as well as translating hard drive information into readable information. Circuit boards are typically green.  Platters - Thin disks that store data. Platters are responsible for most of the noise you hear when your hard drive starts up. Unless you're a professional with access to a clean room and the necessary equipment, you won't be able to fix your hard drive's platters on your own.  Head Assembly - The head assembly is what reads the data off of the platters. Again, you won't be able to repair the head assembly without professional-grade experience and equipment. Depending on what's wrong with it, your hard drive will make certain sounds. Be sure to cross-reference your hard drive's model with the sound it's making to ensure an accurate diagnosis.  For example: if your hard drive was making a clicking noise, it most likely has a problem with the head assembly.  Unfortunately, most problems that are diagnosable by the sound they cause will need professional care. These include things like freezing your hard drive or applying force to it. While some users may report success from these methods, performing a short-term fix on your hard drive is bound to make successful data recovery from a professional service even less likely than it already was. Even if you can get a quick fix to work, the effects are usually short-term. Your hard drive will still end up dying.
A: Stop using your computer immediately. Try plugging your hard drive into a different port or computer. Know the different components of a hard drive. Assess the sounds your drive was making. Refrain from using do-it-yourself quick fixes.

Q: Gently place it in your hand. The part of the lens that touches your eye should be face up. Your lens should look like a bowl. Make sure the solution gets on both sides of the lens. Allow some of the solution to drain away before you continue cleaning the lens.  If you’re wearing rigid contact lenses, make sure you purchase contact solution specifically formulated for these lenses. Read the label thoroughly. Ask your doctor which solution is best for you. Always use contact solution to clean your lenses. Never, ever use water or saliva to clean your lenses. This can cause a serious infection.  Do not attempt to clean daily contacts, which are only meant to be worn once. You should throw these away, as wearing them more than once increases your risk of infection. Lightly move the lens back and forth on your palm. There should be contact solution both on your hand and on the lens.  Some solutions are labeled as “no-rub” solutions. However, rubbing always gets your lenses cleaner, so it’s best to do it regardless of which solution brand you use. If your lens is very dirty, you might flip it over and rub both sides. Spray the lens with contact solution to remove any remaining grime. Make sure the solution treats both sides of the lens.  If you see any visible dirt or grime left on the lens, repeat these steps to try to clean the lens. If you cannot get the lens clean, discard it. You can follow the same steps to clean your lens after it falls out or feels dirty, as long as you only use saline solution. Instead of putting your lens away, put it back in your eye.
A: Place your contact lens in the palm of your hand. Spray contact solution on the lens. Use the pad of your finger to gently rub your contact lens. Rinse the lens once more before putting it in your case.

Q: If your dog is aggressive or even if he bites for no apparent reason, you must get immediate control of him. Use a harness, muzzle, or head halter to prevent him from further biting. Don't let your dog go outside the house without being on a leash and unless he's accompanied by a responsible adult holding the handle. You should never leave a dog that bites alone with children. In fact, your dog shouldn't be around children outside the immediate household until his biting is stopped. Once you've gotten control of your dog, you need to take him to the vet for an exam and behavioral consultation. Your vet may find that the dog is suffering from a medical condition (like brain dysfunction from stroke or old age) or is in pain (from arthritis or an injury). If your vet determines a cause for the grumpiness and biting, treatment may be recommended that can stop the biting. If there's no medical explanation for the biting, ask your veterinarian to determine if the dog may be acting out of fear or because he's defending his belongings. Your vet may be able to recommend an animal behavioral specialist. The specialist can work with your dog to make sure he's properly trained. Working with a professional trainer is especially important if there was a human injury involved, since you most likely will not be able to correct the biting behavior on your own. Make sure the professional you work with has been certified to work with aggressive animals. Look for a Certified Applied Animal Behaviorist (CAAB or ACAAB), a veterinary behaviorist (Dip ACVB) or a Certified Professional Dog Trainer (CPDT) in your area.

Control and supervise your dog. Get your dog checked by the veterinarian. Find a professional trainer for your dog.
