Computer 101?

Well fellow GFFers, my older sister wants to learn how to use a computer, and both her kids told her no, (they aren't evil little pricks, continue reading and you will undesrtand) then she called me and asked if I could, well, I do have the time, and agreed, but as my nephews, I have absolutly no idea on how to do that, I never had computer lessons, and I have no idea what is basic knowledge, or even condence what I know in something to put to use in general.

So I ask you all for advice, how should I help her master the 7 headed monster that is a computer?

(Sorry if this is the wrong place to ask, could not decided where to make the thread and help desk seemed the best choice)

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Although I do appreciate the advice on how to teach, I was thinking more in the guidelines of teaching plan, like what should I teach her first and whatnot, Turning on and off, having your way around the mouse and stuff is basic, but I don't know whats usefull from there on, I don't really think my sis wanna know how to download illegal content, porn and rip dvd's lol

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Soluzar that was quite wonderful, thanks a bunch, I can really start from there, 5.000 internets to you for the trouble.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Indeed, valid points there, although I am pretty sure my sis just wanna be less ignorant on the whole computer lingo, than actually using a computer on a daily basis, It's is quite good to teach those, especially 'cause newbies tend to go over board on how the computer looks.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

uxtheme.dll, just change the one that comes with windows for a new one and you can use any theme, but there are even themes that don't need a patched uxtheme like Royalle Noir.

See? I actually know my way around computers, bunch of useless crap like that, but I do. LOL

I was speaking idiomatically.
