Our method

Six rules, two of which deliberately limit what we write.

One · tested steps

Every step is tried on more than one machine before it is published.

Where behaviour differs between systems, that is stated rather than smoothed over.

No manufacturer, model or program is recommended.

Product names appear only to identify what is being discussed.

We describe what to look for rather than showing a picture of one version.

Interfaces change; descriptions of purpose survive.

Every page carries a publication and a last-checked date.

Operating systems change their menus often enough for this to matter.

Reported errors are checked and confirmed ones are fixed in the text.

The revision date moves; nothing is edited silently.

No advertising, sponsorship or affiliate links.

No analytics and no external resources of any kind.

If a step does not work on your computer, please tell us.
