There's
No Place Like Home
Would
you like to get to the desktop quickly even though you don't have
one of the new Windows keyboards? With the Windows keyboard, all
you have to do to get to the desktop is press the Windows key-M.
If you don't have a Windows keyboard, you can press Ctrl-Esc and
then press Alt-M |

What
if I Don't Want to Open it with That?
If you want to know how to change a file's program association,
check this out. Suppose you double-click a file that has no association,
and when the Open With dialog box appears, you choose NotePad. From
now on, double-clicking that file will open NotePad.
If you'd like to change the assignment, select the file by clicking
its icon and then hold down the Shift key while you right-click
the file. Choose Open With from the menu. Now make a new selection
in the Open With dialog box and select the Always Use This Program
to Open This Type of File check box and click OK. |

Controlling
the Cursor with Your Keyboard
Have
you ever wished that you could control your screen's cursor with
the keyboard? Depending on what kind of work you're doing, having
the pinpoint control that comes from moving the cursor with the
keyboard could be an advantage. As long as you have Microsoft's
Accessibility Options installed, you can make it so.
Go
to Start, Control Panel and open Accessibility Options. Click
the Mouse tab and check the Use MouseKeys box. To control the
cursor, you'll use the arrows on your number keypad. Go to Settings
and decide whether you want MouseKeys to be activated when Num
Lock is on or off. You'll also want to play with the speed settings
to get the desired cursor movement. When you finish, click OK
twice. |

Closing
Individual Windows from the Keyboard
If you want to close specific windows without shutting down entire
applications, there's a keyboard shortcut for you: Ctrl-W.
This
shortcut allows you to close any open folder windows in Windows.
Certain applications (like Word 2000 and later) let you use this
shortcut to close open windows without closing the applications
themselves.

A
Quick Way to Display Properties
Normally, to view the properties of a particular file or folder,
you right-click on it and choose Properties. But if you're skilled
in using your mouse and keyboard together, there's an even quicker
way to get a look at those properties.
Just hold
down the Alt key and double click. The Properties dialog box springs
up, no matter what kind of icon you clicked on.
