Then I realized that windows must have similar functionality and I checked out some of the short cuts available in MS Windows XP.<\/p>\n<p>I recommend heading on over and printing <a href=\"http:\/\/www.computerhope.com\/shortcut.htm\">this list<\/a> of Windows shortcuts out and taping it to the wall by your computer.  You&#8217;ll be a power user in no time.<\/p>\n<p>Some interesting shortcuts I never knew about:<\/p>\n<p>WINKEY + M:  Minimize all windows.  I usually click on the &#8220;Show desktop&#8221; icon on my task bar, but this little shortcut saves me those precious 5 seconds.<\/p>\n<p>CTRL + BACKSPACE\/DELETE:  Delete by the word and not by the letter.  Invaluable when you are cleaning up a document.<\/p>\n<p>CNTL + HOME\/END: Goes to the start or beginning of a document\/page\/whatever you are looking at.  Scrolling is for suckers.<\/p>\n<p>THE MOUSEWHEEL: Open a new tab.  This is only true in Firefox, and I believe Opera.  But click a link with the third mouse button (usually the scroll wheel) will open the link in a new tab.  Great for when you see an interesting link yet you want to finish reading the site you are currently on.<\/p>\n<p>HOLDING SHIFT: If you hold shift while putting a CD or game in your computer is disables auto play.  Not only does this save aggravation but can also <a href=\"http:\/\/news.com.com\/2100-1025_3-5087875.html\">disable certain copy protections<\/a> a disc has.<\/p>\n<p>ALT + F4: Hit it right now, I dare you.<\/p>\n<p>[tags]keyboard, shortcuts, windows[\/tags]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have been recently doing a lot of works on Macs at my job and was amazed at some of the cool things OS X can do (the whole F9 thing blows my mind &#8211; I wish I was kidding)&#8230;.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-126","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-general-tips"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sevenseek.com\/collegev2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/126","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sevenseek.com\/collegev2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sevenseek.com\/collegev2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sevenseek.com\/collegev2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sevenseek.com\/collegev2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=126"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.sevenseek.com\/collegev2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/126\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":463,"href":"https:\/\/www.sevenseek.com\/collegev2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/126\/revisions\/463"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sevenseek.com\/collegev2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=126"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sevenseek.com\/collegev2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=126"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sevenseek.com\/collegev2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=126"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
