The Best Computer Tips and Tricks: Keyboard Shortcuts for Windows Vista and XP and Microsoft Office

Windows Key+E

The best part about shortcut keys is letting your keyboard do half the work. This is a perfect example: This shortcut allows you to open Windows Explorer with one quick keystroke.

Windows Key+M

This is the shortcut to keep in mind when you are at work doing anything but working—it allows you to minimize all of your open windows, leaving just the desktop left exposed. To restore the windows, hit Windows key+Shift+M. Another quick way to do this is Windows key+D, which shows your desktop; to restore, just repeat the same keystroke. This is a handy shortcut to have around the next time your boss is wandering through the office.

Alt+Tab

This allows you to easily scroll through all the windows you have open. If you're working in Word and referring to something in Explorer, for example, you can toggle back and forth between the two programs. You can also use this to switch between windows in the same program, making multitasking a breeze. Very similar is Windows key+Tab: In XP, it lets you scroll the items on the taskbar, and in Vista, it starts Flip 3D for a fun graphical spin on the same idea.

Alt+F4

This shortcut is a quick way to close a window in any program. Alt+Spacebar+C (which requires less stretching, but more keys) and Ctrl+W do the same thing. Any of the ways will allow you to close a window without using your mouse to hit the X in the upper-right corner.

Ctrl+Arrow Keys

In Microsoft Word, the left and right arrows allow you to move the cursor to the beginning of the previous word or the next word; the up and down arrows will do the same with paragraphs. This is very helpful when editing a document or scanning for any reason.

Shift+Delete

If you want to delete a file—and you don't want to deal with it later in the Recycle Bin—this is the way to go. Just be absolutely sure that this is a file you won't want back!

Hold Shift While Inserting a CD

Have you ever wanted to insert a CD and not use it right away? This shortcut allows you to bypass Autorun when inserting a CD so you can control exactly when you will use a CD you've inserted.

Ctrl+Drag

There are many ways to copy a file, but this just might be the easiest. All you have to do is click on the file, hold, and drag it into its desired location. This works the same as another handy shortcut, Ctrl+C.

Windows Key+U+U

Quickly shut down Windows by hitting the Windows key (don't hold it down), hitting U to reach the shutdown menu, and then hitting U again to shut down.

Windows Key+Pause

Need a quick way to get to the Systems Properties menu without too much thought? Just press these two keys and you'll be brought right to it.

Ctrl+Z, Ctrl+Y

Undo an action by hitting Ctrl+Z; if you change your mind, Ctrl+Y will redo the undo.

Shift + Arrow Keys

Holding shift and pressing one of the arrow keys will highlight text in Word (or a group of Excel cells) without the mouse, selecting in the direction the arrow points.

Ctrl+U, Ctrl+B, Ctrl+I

This one's for Office newbies. It's a snap to underline, bold, and italicize without the mouse if you press Ctrl+U (underlining), Ctrl+B (bolding), or Ctrl+I (italicizing).

Using Internet For Free !

Filed under: Internet 

Yes ! Everyone wants to use Internet for free. It is a necessity today. No one can ignore the world of information, entertainment. It is up to you what kind of use you put it in. Well, it is not free. ISP charges money for providing you the access the internet. Lets Begin !

So,  What is the first thing you need to have access to the internet, yes it is the ISP.  Obviously, there is not only one ISP on the planet working to provide access to the internet. There are a large number of them. Presently, you can call them a Network connected to internet.  There are Virtual Private Networks called VPNs.  Some are prepaid, free and fully paid.  Get a Free VPN you will need that.

After a free VPN, you need a internet connection to reach to that free VPN. VPNs are not ISP, they depend upon your implemented technology.

Again, as I have mentioned the implemented technology. It means that if your speed is slow, it is not good. The better the speed, the better the speed you get. So, I can say that it is for a special class of internet users which is increasing day by day.  Get the answer by yourself.

You would need a software for connecting to that VPN, Well the software depends upon the VPN. Generally, it could be an OpenVPN Software.

After all the theory that I have mentioned have a flaw. All the ISPs can not be used to get the free internet. The OpenVPN software routes all of your iinternet traffic to another Internet Server (VPN Server). If the your ISP  does not come to know about this routing, then you will be using free internet, otherwise you have a bad day.

The transfer protocol also matters, may be TCP packets may be traced by ISp and UDP may not. Again, it is the ISP only and of course, you luck.

Well, I told you everything and nothing. 

Intelligent will find a way. 

Good Luck

Three Easiest Tips to Keep Your PC as Fast
as New
When we install windows operating systems
in our computers, it looks very fast for few
days. But day by day the speed decreases. It
takes long time to boot the operating
system. Furthermore, sometimes it hangs to
load the anti-virus software and other
startup items. So, let us learn how to keep
your windows as fast as newly installed
operating system.
Using msconfig
First of all, Omit or uncheck the unnecessary
items from the startup programs. For it you
got to turn on your pc and let it be booted.
When the loading completes, Press
“Windows+R”. It will open the run menu.
Write “msconfig” in it and press enter. You
will see a new window which will appear
“System configuration utility”. Change the
tab to “startup” on the top right of the
System Configuration Utility window. Here,
you will see a list of programs which run
when computer starts. Uncheck the items
which seems irritating or unnecessary to
you. Now click on apply and then close the
window. It will ask for a reboot. Click on
restart to reboot your pc. When it reboots
you won’t see the unnecessary items
loading with your log on and your log on
process has become faster than before. Isn’t
it cool?!!
Using regedit
Secondly, we can speed up our computer by
registry editing. It will cure the slowing
problem of start menu programs. Once
again you need to open the run menu by
pressing “Ctrl+R”. Now write “regedit” in it
and press enter. It will open a new window
which is called “Registry Editor”. Here you
may change the registry value of the
programs installed in your computer. Now
click on HKEY_CURRENT_USER folder on the
registry editor window. Find Control panel >
Desktop > MenuShowDelay. Double click on
MenuShowDelay on the right box to amend
its value. You will see 400 is the default value
in the edit option. Delete the 400 from it and
let it remain blank. Click on ok. Remember,
the more you reduce this value the more
speed you may get in Start Menu program
loading.
Deleting Temprary Files
Thirdly, we can speed up our computer by
deleting temporary files form our hard disk.
Temporary files accumulate when we install,
run or download something in our pc.
Keeping these files for so long may decrease
your pc running speed. So, deleting these
files is the best to get rid of this upcoming
slow-problem. In this case, again we will use
run menu. Please, follow the steps. Open the
run menu with “Windows+R”. Write “temp”
to open the directory “C:WINDOWSTemp”.
Delete everything you found in this directory
and close the folder. Again open the run
menu. Write “%temp%” to open the
directory “C:DOCUME~1User
LOCALS~1Temp”. Delete everything you
found in this directory. If any file denies to
be deleted, let it be there. Not need to delete
them. Close the window. Now again open
the run menu. Write “prefetch” to open the
directory “C:WINDOWSPrefetch”. Delete
every file you found in this folder.
In conclusion we have come to know the
three easy steps to speed up your computer.
If your pc still reacting slow, may be the
problem is on somewhere else. In this case,
I recommend you to install a fresh copy of
Operating System
