Some windows short cuts and tricks

[Conspiracy]

WK=Windows Key

 

WK + E = Open windows explorer

WK + R = Open the RUN dialog box

WK + F = File and folder search dialog box

(U can also search by pressing F3 to search the currently selected folder in windows explorer)

 

WK + M = Minimize all open windows

(u can also hold down the shift key while you click the X in a window to close all the windows which preceeded it.)

 

WK + SHIFT + M = Resize windows to previous state after WK+M

 

-Some OS's can take a picture of the currently active dialog box by pressing CTRL+ALT+Print Screen

 

To Modify your internet expolerer or any other windows software

windows key + R.

Run

 

regedit

cmd

which are the ones i use most...

by the way. For all those XP users out there...

WK + R

type in regedit

 

search in HKEY_Current_User

expand Software

expand Microsoft

expand Internet Explorer

click on Main

search through the right frame until you find something that should say Window Title. Right click on it and click Modify, and change this to whatever you want.

If done right you should have changed IE's Window Title, instead of Microsoft Internet Explorer it should say whatever you put

Tip for your eyes below:-

 

This is not actually a hardware tip, just to let you know how important it is to blink your eyes. Your eyes don't actually get strained staring at the monitor, just loses moisture and making the eyes dry. It has been proven that people staring at the monitor for a long time has the tendency to blink less than the normal rate. Make an effort to blink your eyes. If not, try eye moisture drops

Thx for the tips guys.......i have one for IE........

 

when you surfing the net and you want to type an address like......www.Yahoo.com you can short cut it bye just typibg...........Yahoo and then hold CTRL Key and press ENTER key.

 

When you want to print somthing from the screen......On your Keyboard look for this key is after F12 key......PrtSCSysRq........press it and then what you do is you open Photoshop program if you have it installed or Paintshop and open a new file and then click on EDIT and click on PASTE and whatever you captured will be pasted there.

 

Advise guys stay away from REGEDIT Keys..
