whats the short cut to take a screen shot?
Hold down Ctrl, hit PrtScn
Go to Paint (or, I think, any photo program) and hit paste.
Does the whole screen.

I always type http:// and the full hostname -- if that involves a www or doesn't involve one. Must just be the geek in me. The problem is that a ton of sites aren't .com so it's hard for me to think to use that shortcut when it is a .com.One that makes me shake my head is when folks type in the "www." and ".com" instead of typing just the root name and hitting cntl+enter which does it automatically.

Well,Shift-enter is .com, Ctrl-Shift-enter is .orgAlt-shift-enter is .net. There are a couple of others i think, but that covers the basic ones.
.net is 4 keystrokes. Alt-shift-enter is 3....
I know about that shortcut, but for some reason, I don't use it. I think it is because for almost a year, I was typing http://intranet. CTRL Enter wouldn't have worked for me there, and I type so damned fast that www and .com takes me about 1 second if not less to type.
Plus, it keeps you from going to the wrong site by accident. http://www.whitehouse.com used to be a porn site.
It doesn't matter to me. The computer is only a tool- if it works, great. if not, use another computer/operating system/program until it does work for you.I don't think I ever use keyboard shortcuts. What difference does it make to anyone else?![]()
why is windows-l better for locking? other than keystrokes.
Of course -- if you ever do feel that you're doing something you shouldn't be doing -- and you actually attempt to minimize all the windows -- that'll be the day where your computer almost crashes when you hit the key stroke and it takes like 20 painful seconds of watching it slowly chug along and try to hide windows.Just quicker.. like.. "about to be busted doing something you shouldn't" quicker
You do know the paperclip tells you how to turn him off? First thing I did...after changing the paperclip to a cat 'cuz cats are supposed to be annoying. I think animated help has been on 3 versions of office now (I forget the exact number because I turn it off quickly).Oh god, please don't copy Microsoft products. If I get some effing, talking paperclip telling me how to write anonymous email I will have to smash up my computer with an axe.

Then don't buy the "Windows ME Personal PC" for $399.99 at Sam's Club.
Excellent advice in the league with the best available. Such as you may know [FONT="]over the years, letters to Dear Abby and Ann Landers have convinced us that some domestic goddesses prefer performing their duties in the nude. For those inclined to this state of undress, Ann recommends wearing an apron while frying bacon.[/FONT]
You proffered "Then don't buy the "Windows ME Personal PC" for $399.99 at Sam's Club" so as not to have to deal with that insidious Microsoft Help paper clip animation.I have no idea what you're talking about.

I'm the same way, except mine is using apostrophe's for plural's.![]()
The one that's like fingernails on a chalkboard for me is when someone claims it to be a "mute point"....grrrr...
