(After all the name-calling etc, here's something that's _nearly_ on-topic!)
A few tips for Windows, which you may or may not know...
* To maximize or restore a window, double-click its title bar. (No
need to go way over to the Maximize/Restore button!)
* To switch between open documents in a single program (such as Word,
or FrameMaker), press Ctrl+F6. To cycle in the opposite direction (with 3 or
more windows), press Ctrl+Shift+F6. (Often quicker than using the Window
menu, but not as quick as a motorbike. :->)
* To close a minimized window without having to restore it,
right-click its taskbar button and choose Close.
* To minimize the current window, click its taskbar button. (Sometimes
more convenient than using the Minimize button. Win 2k and XP only.)
* To open the Start menu, press Ctrl+Esc. E.g. to shut down your PC,
press Ctrl+Esc U (for shUt down) Enter. (Ctrl+Esc also displays the taskbar,
if you've set it not to display all the time.)
Hope that helps,
Craig
