For the guys who don't know.....to help manage the files you've downloaded from the net.

Instead of right clicking on a file & then selecting Rename from the menu window, just left click on the file & press th F2key.

The filename is then selected & ready to exit.


What other quick tips like this do we know ??

[perris]

ok, I don't get this shortcut, all I do is highlight the file, and rename is enabled by default.

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

Joe2cool and perris,
Thanks for the quick tips. They are noticed and very much appreciated. I'm always looking for ways to do things differently or faster.

yes, but much faster...that's the idea

ok, finally got some feedback, so this one will be an all time favorite if you use system restore as your registry backup, I do, and this saves a ton of time.;

put the system restore as a shortcut on your desktop with this target;

%SystemRoot%\System32\restore\rstrui.exe

now that is the nuts...tell me how you like this, I have 30 pages of this stuff

[perris]

ok, I'm assuming I'm going to get some feedback on that restore shortcut, so here's something while I'm waiting for my payment(as I said, yay or nay, any feedback i payment to me)

the absolute easiest removal of mesenger is to cut and paste this into run...unbelievable;

RunDll32 advpack.dll,LaunchINFSection %windir%\INF\msmsgs.inf,BLC.Remove

I also like a good tip and/or trick but...

the real tip would be to explain any secrets how you use the system restore to backup your registry

the tip about system restore on your desktop is just another shortcut which you can make for almost any system tool or app.

right click the program or app select properties and copy the target line then paste into a new desktop shortcut

keep the tips coming... even if they do not reply people still look ( look at the views column on the main page of each category)

buck, this method would not work for system restore ( a very hard target to find ), or if you're in the registry alot, it would also not work for a shortcut to the regeistry either..(shortcut; C:\WINDOWS\regedit.exe ) or computor management ( %SystemRoot%\system32\compmgmt.msc /s )...or device manager ( %windir%\system32\mmc.exe c:\windows\system32\devmgmt.msc )


thank you, thank you very much

[perris]

And I'm posting this shortcut all by itself, because this is the single best gui tweak a computor user can have (ha...in my opinion, of course)

A RESTART OM YOUR DESKTOP...THAT'S THE ABSOLUTE

TARGET

shutdown -r -t 0

pretty good, I did it differantly...huh, whoda thunk...let me ask you something tho...what are you saying to me...I'm saying this is an incrdible shortcut...most people don't even think about doing it, till they read about it.

I understand that alot of tweaks people post might not help you personally...is that your issue?...I'd like to see what anyone considers cool, and be happy when they post it

for instance, alternate plus enter to get properties...even simpler then what you came up with for properties...lots of people know it, more people don't...so what exactly are you saying?

anyway, that's a rhetorical question...we both know our purpose is to healp, and learn at the same time...

to change the subject, there is no feed back on posts at this site, it's very hard to come back, althought this was fun dialogue with you...I'll pop in once a week or so...good luck
