anyway, here's a quicky, highlight an icon on your desktop, hit alt+enter...come back and tell everyone how you like that...

here's a problem...I've posted some incredible shortcuts on this forum with not a yay or a nay...seems I'm either thinking what I have is no good, or nobody cares, therefore, no feedback, no posting...sorry
Cool I like the alt+enter shortcut.
Thanks perris

You guys have got to realize just by checking the views that your posts are being looked at.
Personally, I check most of the tips and appreciate the ones which apply to my OS, and I rarely post back. But, just in case you feel unappreciated, "thanks much", keep up the good work.

Alt + enter accomplishes nothing on my 98se. I don't often use keyboard shortcuts perhaps this sys. doesn't like me.

"I'm saying this is an incrdible shortcut"

no issue just your definition of incredible and hard are very different than mine

now now now, that's a cheap shot, isn't it, and that smiley doesn't help...AS EVERY INCREDIBLE SHORTCUT WILL HAVE SOME PEOPLE THAT IT DOESN'T HELP, you pointing that out only begs the question, doesn't it.

shheeeesh...if you can't use a shortcut, but see the merit of it, why on earth would you criticize it?... say it doesn't help you, that'll do the trick...plus, I've already told you, you were right, and the shortcut was easier to find then I thought it was, so, you didn't want me to post it becauase it's easy to find once you've realized you want it?Realizing it can be done, and how usefull it is is the incredible part, isn't it...I don't know where you're coming from this.

nevermind...like I said, I am enjoying this dialougue with you, as it seems to be at least some sort of feedback...(no offence, heewee)

ahh feedback, yay or nay, I love feedback, so here's another one;

ok, here's something a lot of you know, most of you don't (I hope I cut off some criticism with that disclaimer, hehe)

the absolutely easiest method for changing the home page is to grab the little icon that's in front of the url in the address bar, and drop it into the home icon that's on your toolbar...or, if you want to take ithe icon from your favorites list, it'll work from there also.

Hey, that might be a great, incredible shortcut, but I haven't got a system restore in my tools file. So I'd like to think that would qualify as being "hard". However, if I did have it It'd really be incredible.

Howdy again perris

more feedback

"why on earth would you criticize it?... "

not criticizing it...and I see it's merit along with the thousands of other shortcuts that can be made...

just don't think it's incredible

ahhh haaa you must not do sustem restore backups that often, otherwise you'd understand just how incredible this is...so now I get it.

for instance, the simpler the tip, the more amazing it becomes if it's a super saver...this is just that.

thank you, thankyou very much

I have never had to use System Restore...now that's incredible

see...we agree...how could this possibly be incredible to someone that doesn't use the utility...if you do start using it, that's when you'll finally get it.

as I said before

thank you, thankyou very much

(also havin fun)

only speaking for myself...it's just another shortcut that is as easy to make as most others... if you want it
