Tips for Windows Users...

The Invlauable Control + A, C, V

CTRL + A Highlights ALL information in a document, including text on the web, word processor, email, or other applications.

CTRL + C COPIES all information highlighted to an invisible clipboard, so you can then paste it to another application.

CTRL + V PASTES all that information to whichever application you desire.

EXAMPLE: You see a document on the web, or get an email from someone which contains a few paragraphs or even pages of information you need. Rather than retype all this text, you can simply highlight the area (if you want ALL the text type CTRL + A) then type CTRL + C to copy the information, then CTRL + V will paste it into your word processor, or from web to an email for the other person to read, or vice verse. A great time saver.

Creating New Desktop Icons

RIGHT click on your mouse button and choose NEW -- from there choose SHORTCUT and BROWSE though your hard drive to find the application you wish to create a desktop icon or "shortcut" to.

EXAMPLE: You want to create a desktop icon for America Online or your Word Processor so that you dont have to go through the start menu each time. Follow the above, and when you get to BROWSE look through your hard drive to where your application might typically be. America Online could be found in an AOL folder, Microsoft applications could be found in MS Office, or Winword folders. Then just look for the icon and double click on it.
