Tips and Tricks
Here are some shortcuts our staff uses to make routine computer tasks easier. They range from Windows customizations we have figured out to keyboard tips that you may have heard from ergonomics or other trainings.
Start menu: The Start menu is a great place to put important shortcuts to essential web-sites, programs, folders, or often used control panel options. For example to place an Add-Remove Programs shortcut in the Start menu. Click Start, go to settings and then click control panel. Drag (left click hold and move) Add-Remove Programs, or whichever you want, to the Start button and let go. The shortcut will automatically be placed in the Start menu. Now whenever you press Start it will be in the top selections. If there's more than one there, you can arrange the order by left-click-hold and move up or down.
Internet Explorer shortcuts:- Ctrl-W: Close the current window (this is especially helpful for foiling pop-ups).
- Ctrl-D: Bookmark the current page.
- Ctrl-N: Open a new browser window.
- F5: Refresh the page.
- Ctrl-F5: Fully refresh the page, regardless of caching.
- Ctrl-Enter: Automatically add www. and .com to a domain name in the address bar.
- Alt-(Left/Right Arrow): Go back/forward a page.
- Alt-Home: Jump to your browser's home page.
- Ctrl-(mouse wheel): Increase/decrease the default font size.
- Shift-(mouse wheel): Go forward/back a page.
- Shift-(left mouse click): Open a link in a new browser window.
- Right mouse button: Open a context-sensitive menu for a link or picture.
