on 11/22/2005 I have a shortcut to minimize or maximize a particular window. Hold ALT, press the space bar, and press X for maximizing. Hold ALT, press the space bar, and press N for minimizing.

on 11/22/2005 Here are a few shortcuts:

Windows Logo - Displays or hides the Start menu

Windows Logo+BREAK - Displays the System Properties dialog box

Windows Logo+D - Displays the desktop

Windows Logo+M - Minimizes all of the windows

Windows Logo+SHIFT+M - Restores the minimized windows

Windows Logo+E - Opens My Computer

Windows Logo+F - To search for a file or a folder

CTRL+Windows Logo+F - To search for computers

Windows Logo+F1 - Displays Windows Help

Windows Logo+L - Locks the keyboard

Windows Logo+R - Opens the Run dialog box

Windows Logo+U - Opens Utility Manager

When typing an address ending in '.com' simply type the main part into the address bar and while holding down CTRL press ENTER...windows will add the rest. For example, to go to www.google.com simply type in 'google' and follow the above.

on 11/22/2005 Press Ctrl and Home to move quickly to the very beginning, or Ctrl and End to get to the very end of your document (no matter where your insertion point is in the file).

on 11/22/2005 If you learn no other computer trick you should learn keyboard shortcuts. You can access commands from your keyboard a zillion times faster than taking your hand off the keyboard and moving it to the mouse. This will make you a guru, trust me.

on 11/22/2005 Under Windows 95 and 98, you may press Ctrl-ESC to access the Start Menu. If your keyboard has the "Windows Key," you need only press it.
