To shorten the step you could just hold the Windows key + R and then type explorer.

that might not work when explorer crashes, since the start menu is part of it

When installing more RAM don't forget to adjust the size of your paging file to reflect the new amount of ram.

If a memory dump occurs you can get a bsod complaining about ntoskrnl.exe since it's still working with the old size of paged space with more ram :wink:

Pages are too long to read, but maybe trying:

in internet explorer or firefox, type

EX: anysite then hit CTRL+Enter. This will automatically add the www. and the .com

so it will be http://www.anysite.com

Since I have at times as many as 10 or more windows open at once a nifty little keyboard shortcut that instantly minimizes all open windows:

Ctrl+Esc immediately followed by Alt+M

That's my alltime favorite. I also like Windowskey+E to bring up the Windows Explorer and Windowskey+R to bring up Run. I also use Ctrl+A to select all, Ctrl+C to copy Ctrl+Z to Cut, and Ctrl+V to paste. Very convenient shortcuts when copying code and hypertext links.


Bro, just use WindowsKey + m.. and thats it... it minimize all..

i found this one by accident :
When signing up on the hotmail page , instead of typing the full email address just type your first part of your id and then press alt + tab , this will automatically add @hotmail.com to it

But I found not to press alt+tab even!
If you enter your id and click on the text box of password "@hotmail.com" is automatically added.

Well, a great shortcut all use is Alt+bckspace to undo events.

"Alt+Print Screen" and then "ctrl+v" in any image editor saves a copy of recent window screenshot(thats too hot).

alt tab will take you away from the page wouldnt it? anyways, tab will get you into the password box.
shift+tab will take you back one box if you have use tab to move forward, [or even if you havent]
