Sorry to hear you are having such a hard time with the cold
weather but I have tip for you when you write about it. To make
the "°" degree symbol, hold down the alt key then press 0 1 7 6
and you will see ° magically appear on your screen.


Clarification: You have to have a numerical keypad to do that.
Many laptops and netbooks do not have one and typing it with the
top keys does nothing.


Use Windows "Character Map":

All Programs Accessories System Tools Character Map

Or at Start search , type in Character Map

Sample: for the inverted question mark : ¿

ALT+0191

Cent sign: ¢

ALT+0162

Yen sign: ¥

Alt+0165

I ain't gonna tell ya have to make a hidden directory for your
secrets
