How Did We Get Into This Financial Mess?

Submitted by Gil on Wed, 10/08/2008 - 19:43

The other night I found myself quite disturbed after watching this segment on CBS News, at the same time I felt that the way Jim Grant (the first gentleman interviewed) described the "Shadow Market" warranted the title of an article/video that fits the "for the Rest of Us" approach that I subscribe to on this site and for that reason it was posted here for readers to view.

How to Disable the Register "Cha-Ching" in Quicken

Submitted by Gil on Thu, 10/02/2008 - 17:23

Quicken 2008

If you've used Quicken software for as long as I have (since version 2003) then you too must be annoyed at the "cha-ching" sound each time a transaction is added or modified. As far as I'm concerned there is no option box within Quicken to change this rather annoying sound. I dug a little and found that the setting for that specific sound and all other software sounds are managed under the Control Panels' Sound panel. Below I will demonstrate how to disable this sometimes annoying sound. If you have any questions or comments, feel free to post them below.

Note: The screen shots below were generated using Quicken 2008 and Windows XP, options and menu locations should be very similar for Windows Vista.
