Hey all,
<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;perris, don't stop coming to TSG because you dont get alot of reply's, especially in this thread, people browse it, then do it, then say cool and go on. &nbsp;This is one of the best tech sites I have found, I am sure that if you give it a chance that you will enjoy it as well, so hang around.<BR><BR> &nbsp;&nbsp;Now it wouldnt be right for me not to give a Quick Reference:<BR><BR><center><font color="teal">Ctrl+Esc</font></center><br> This brings up the start menu, and to take one more step hit the first letter of the start menu option you want to open it..

<BR><font color="purple"> ENJOY</font><BR><BR>MC

hi mis...

I appreciate the effort, but that's like saying "please keep putting your products out...people will take them, without thinking of paying...that's just the way they are...sorry, mis...I need to get payed...

ok, last try, I must get payed;

that blue toolbar up top, that does so little? lets rebrand it...do this;

In Registry key HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main, add or change the value named Window Title, changing its current data which may be none, but whatever it is, change it to this exactly; "PERRIS THE MAGNIFICENT"
with or without the qoutes, it'll work just the same

IF YOU DO THAT EXACTLY, THIS'LL BE ONE OF MY ABSOLUTELY FAVORITE TWEAKS

miss as far as your little tip...I love keyboard shortcuts...I hate using the mouse, so thanx

now, I live in the computor world...got here because of my need for instant gratification...my incredible post has been up for what to me feels like forever...(1 1/2 hrs!!!), and no pay...mis's cool shortcut...I'm the only one who's responded for who knows how long?.

so, call me selfish, impatient, whatever, ...I can't take this apathy...

sorry, don't bother to start a dialogue with me, I won't be coming back...sorry

Patience !
I am amazed by how many people come here and want responses NOW. It seems that people think we are all just sitting on the edge of our chairs waiting to respond !

Anyway .... : HERE : is a list of handy keyboard shortcuts for those who don't want them one at a time....Rhett

&nbsp; I am sorry that you feel that way, and feel that you could <BR>be a good asset here at TSG, but I am not one to grovel at <BR>the feet of anyone, or beg, so have a good one, party on, <BR>and dont be annoyed if you find that on a <b>Forum</b> instant <BR>gratifacation is hard to come by. &nbsp; Most people dont just sit <BR>and wait around on a forum, they make a post, check the threads,<BR> recheck their post,then go do something else for awhile. <BR><BR>MC

Talking Quick Rename
Another quick way to rename a file...

Simply left click twice on the file (not fast enough to be a double click.... once to highlight it, then again to rename). This also works for renaming icons on your desktop.

Hiya

As well as the ones listed here, and that informative link that Rhett gave, of which I'll bookmark at home, these are what I use on the Web

Alt D: Takes you to the Address bar, to type a new one in

F6: as above

Alt A: opens Favourites

Ctrl D: Bookmark.

Regards

eddie

WOW!
I can't believe I just read that entire thread!

Heck, I have my system restore intentionally disabled

Yea, all kinds of shortcuts are cool, but isn't it funny that no matter how many "shortcuts" we make, we still spend the same amount of time sitting in front of these darn computers.

Ultimately, how much Time are we saving?

PS- This reply was all in fun Have a great day! ( Or evening, depending on where you are!)

(Edit) Oh- and speaking of "Time"- have you had a chance to check This out?
