| | Guest | i realy did not know this trick
This is for everyone whose eyesight isn't what it use to be.
I just found out about this and thought I should pass it along. It's very useful when trying to read small e-mail print. If you hold down the Ctrl key on your keyboard and spin the small wheel in the middle of your mouse, the print size of the message will change -- it will either get larger or smaller, depending on which way you turn the wheel. Quite amazing!
Please do pass this on to other friends with tired eyes, who may find it very useful!!!

I thought everyone knew this?...
Anyway, since we are sharing tricks. Try this one...
Start > Run > sndvol32
Do you find that the Volume Control window is too big and goes off your screen?
Press Ctrl + S
Voila!

Ctrl+Esc on a PC on a keyboard without a Windows Key opens the start menu
another favorite is Shift+End key to highlight a line of text for copying etc..

One i'm ashamed to say i just discovered a few weeks ago :-
in internet explorer, entering the name of a shortcut in your favourites menu into the address bar will take you to the appropriate url that the favourite points to. now i just type 'av' to go to here!
