shortcut list
AOA,
here are some shortcuts hope u will like it......... GENERAL SHORTCUTS ALT- F4 - Quit a program / Shut down ALT-TAB - Hold down the ALT key and hit tab to cycle through open windows. CTL-ESCAPE - Display the Start menu SHIFT - TAB - tab backwards through a form CTRL - X - Cut CTRL - C - Copy CTRL - V - Paste F1 - Help menu CTRL - Z - Undo SHIFT & Restart - To restart just windows and not your whole computer, hold down the shift key when you click the OK button on the shutdown screen. Saves lots of time. (not for XP) CRTL-TAB - Navigate tabs on a tabbed screen FILE & DESKTOP SHORTCUTS Hold SHIFT while inserting a CD - Prevents the CD from "autorunning" If an item is selected: CTRL while dragging a file - Copies the file CTRL - SHIFT while dragging a file - Creates a shortcut to the file SHIFT - DELETE - Deletes an item without sending it to the recycle bin. ALT-ENTER - Display a file's properties. F2 - To rename the file In Windows Explorer: LEFT ARROW - Collapse the current selection if it is expanded NUM LOCK-MINUS SIGN (-) - Collapse the selected folder RIGHT ARROW - Expand the current selection if it is collapsed -Or- Select the first subfolder NUM LOCK- * Expand all folders below the current selection NUM LOCK- PLUS SIGN (+) - Expand the selected folder F6 - Switch between left and right panes In My Computer: BACKSPACE - View the folder one level up ALT- RIGHT ARROW - Move forward to a previous view ALT- LEFT ARROW -Move backward to a previous view INTERNET BROWSER SHORTCUTS For Internet Explorer 6 and Netscape 7 (may work in older versions) Open History Window Ctrl+H Reload Ctrl+R Back (Previous Page) Alt+Left Arrow or Alt+Backspace Forward (Next Page) Alt+Right Arrow Stop Esc Home Alt+Home Go to Bottom of Page End Go to Top of Page Home New Window Ctrl+N Close WIndow Ctrl+W Go Up one Line Up Arrow Go Down One Line Down Arrow Full Screen (toggle) F11 Find on Page Ctrl+F Add Current Page to Favorites Ctrl+D Print Current Page or Active Frame Ctrl+P Organize Favorites (IE)/ Manage Bookmarks (NS) Ctrl+B Maximize a Window Alt+Space+x Minimize a window Alt+Space+N Scroll page up Alt+Up Arrow Scroll page down Alt+Down Arrow Internet Explorer ONLY Open Favorites Bar Ctrl+I Select text in address bar Alt+D Force Reload (not from cache) Ctrl+F5 A faster way to type in addresses with IE is to just type in the name of the site: worldstart and hit CTRL + Enter. The "http://www. " and ".com" will be added for you! Netscape ONLY Open / Close Sidebar Panel (toggle) F9 Select text in Location Bar Ctrl+L Force Reload (not from Cache) Ctrl+Shift+R Zoom Text Smaller Ctrl+- (minus) Zoom text larger Ctrl+= (plus sign) WINDOWS KEY SHORTCUTS The Windows key can be used in conjunction with other keys to act as a keyboard shortcut for faster access to menu commands. Now, while the Alt key tends to open program menus (ex: Alt+F opens the File menu and Alt+E opens the Edit menu) and the Ctrl key performs actual operations (ex: Ctrl+C will copy and Ctrl+V will paste), the Windows key will open various Windows tools... Win key + R will open the Start menu's Run box Win key + F will open the Start menu's Find window Win key + E will quickly launch Explorer Win key + Pause/Break will open the System Properties window Win key + M will Minimize all windows Win key + Shift + M will undo Minimize all windows Win key + D will switch between minimizing all open programs and showing them all Win key + Tab will cycle through items on the taskbar Win key by itself will open the Start menu You can also open programs or folders on your desktop by pressing the Windows key + the first letter of the program/folder/shortcut + Enter . Sounds kinda tedious, but if you're in a bind with your mouse, it can come in quite handy. ARROW TRICKS Here's a cool little arrow trick to try with word processing programs. Next time you're using your arrow keys to go from one area of a sentence to another (left and right arrows), hold down your CTRL key. Instead of moving one space at a time, you'll go one word at a time. If you're using the up and down arrows to go from line to line, holding down the CTRL key will make your cursor jump from paragraph to paragraph (well, from carriage return to carriage return anyway). One last thing, if you hold down the SHIFT key while you do this (i.e. hold down SHIFT + CTRL at the same time), you select text as you arrow along. I've tested this in MS Word and Wordpad, but it *should* work no matter what word processing program you use. HOME / END KEY FUN Do you ever find yourself scrolling through a huge folder ? Well, if you need to get to the beginning or the end quickly, just press Ctrl+Home .. If you want to get to the end, click Ctrl+End. Hey, that's not all! This little trick works on more than just folders. If you use the Home key in a word processor, it goes to the beginning of the line you're currently working on. If you hit the END key, it should head to the end of the current line. If you pair Home & End up with the Ctrl key in a word processor, you will be whisked away to the beginning or end of the document. Again, this should work, but it depends on your word processor. Speedup your work by using keyboard more and mouse less.

The main issue in Win XP is the secuirity that we can not protect our secret data from the access of other..
However, in Windows XP Professional, we can also set folder permissions for specific users or groups. To do this, we must first change the default setting, which is simple file sharing. To change this setting, follow these steps: •Open Control Panel, click Tools, and then click Folder Options. •Click the 'View' tab, and scroll to the bottom of the Advanced Settings list. •Clear the Use simple file sharing (Recommended) check box. •To manage folder permissions, browse to the folder in Windows Explorer, right–click the folder, and then click Properties. Click the 'Security' tab, and assign permissions, such as Full Control, Modify, Read, and/or Write, to specific users. We can set file and folder permissions only on drives formatted to use NTFS, and we must be the owner or have been granted permission to do so by the owner. Now question is how can we change FAT to NTFS file system. No Problem see its best solution.... To convert a FAT partition to NTFS, perform the following steps. Click Start, click Programs, and then click Command Prompt. In Windows XP, click Start, click Run, type cmd and then click OK. At the command prompt, type CONVERT [driveletter]: /FS:NTFS. Convert.exe will attempt to convert the partition to NTFS.

Some Tips -- Windows XP
Press Win+L to lock your workstation.
------ You can switch users without going through the Welcome screen: From Task Manager, go to the Users tab, rightclick a user, and select Connect. ------ Hold down the shift key in the shutdown dialog to change "Stand By" to "Hibernate". Or just press H to hibernate instantly. You can even use the Power Control Panel to configure your power button to hibernate. ------ To disable the password when resuming from sta ndby or hibernation, open the Power Control Panel and uncheck "Prompt for password after returning from standby" on the Advanced tab. ------ You can rename multiple files all at once: Select a group of files, rightclick the first file, and select "Rename". Type in a name for the first file, and the rest will follow. ------ Hold down the shift key when switching to thumbnail view to hide the file names. Do it again to bring them back. ------ When dragging a file in Explorer, you can control the operation that will be performed when you release the mouse button: Hold the Control key to force a Copy. Hold the Shift key to force a Move. Hold the Alt key to force a Create Shortcut. ------ If you create a file called Folder.jpg, that image will be used as the thumbnail for the folder. What's more, that image will also be used as the album art in Windows Media Player for all media files in that folder. ---- From the View Menu, select "Choose Details" to select which file properties should be shown in the Explorer window. To sort by a file property, check its name in the "Choose Details" in order to make that property available in the "Arrange Icons by" menu. ------ Todisplay the volume control icon in the taskbar, go to the Sounds and Audio Devices Control Panel and select "Place volume icon in the taskbar". ------ Hold down the shift key when deleting a file to delete it immediately instead of placing it in the Recycle Bin. Files deleted in this way cannot be restored. ------ If you hold down the shift key while clicking "No" in a Confirm File Operation dialog, the response will be interpreted as "No to All". To save a document with an extension other than the one a program wants to use, enclose the entire name in quotation marks. For example, if you run Notepad and save a file under the name Dr.Z it will actually be saved under the name Dr.Z.txt. But if you type "Dr.Z" then the document will be saved under the name Dr.Z. Note that a document sonamed cannot be opened via doubleclicking since the extension is no longer ".txt". ------ Put a shortcut to your favorite editor in your Send To folder and it will appear in your "Send To" menu. You can then rightclick any file and send it to your editor. ------ Ctrl+Shift+Escape will launch Task Manager. ------ To arrange two windows sidebyside, switch to the first window, then hold the Control key while rightclicking the taskbar button of the second window. Select "Tile Vertically". ------ To close several windows at once, hold down the Control key while clicking on the taskbar buttons of each window. Once you have selected all the windows you want to close, rightclick the last button you selected and pick "Close Group". ------ You can turn a folder into a desktop toolbar by dragging the icon of the desired folder to the edge of the screen. You can then turn it into a floating toolbar by dragging it from the edge of the screen into the middle of the screen. (It helps if you minimize all application windows first.) ------ You can turn a folder into a taskbar toolbar. First, unlock your taskbar. Next, drag the icon of the desired folder to the space between the taskbar buttons and the clock. (Wait for the noentry cursor to change to an arrow. It's a very tiny space; you will have to hunt for it.) You can rearrange and resize the taskbar toolbar you just created. You can even turn the taskbar toolbar into a menu by resizing it until only its name is visible. ------ In the Address Bar, type "microsoft" and hit Ctrl+Enter. Internet Explorer automatically inserts the "http://www." and ".com" for you. ------ To remove an AutoComplete entry from a Web form, highlight the item in the AutoComplete dropdown and press the Delete key. To remove all Web form AutoComplete entries, go to the Internet Explorer Tools menu, select Internet Options, Content, AutoComplete, then press the "Clear Forms" button. ------ To organize your Favorites in Explorer instead of using the Organize Favorites dialog, hold the shift key while selecting "Organize Favorites" from the Favorites menu of an Explorer window. ------ You can organize your Favorites by dragging the items around your Favorites menu. ------ Alternatively, you can open the Favorites pane and hold the Alt key while pressing the up and down arrows to change the order of your Favorites. ------ To run Internet Explorer fullscreen, press F11. Do it again to return to normal mode. ------ If your "Printers and Faxes" folder is empty, you can hide the "Printers and Faxes" icon when viewed from other computers by stopping the Print Spooler service. ------ To add or remove columns from Details mode, select Choose Details from the View menu, or just rightclick the column header bar. ------ In Internet Explorer, hold the Shift key while turning the mouse wheel to go forwards or backwards. ------ In Internet Explorer, hold the Shift key while clicking on a link to open the Web page in a new window. ------ In Internet Explorer, type Ctrl+D to add the current page to your Favorites. ------ In some applications (such as Internet Explorer), holding the Control key while turning the mouse wheel will change the font size. ------ To shut down via Remote Desktop, click the Start button, then type Alt+F4.

Internet Explorer ONLY
Open Favorites Bar Ctrl+I Select text in address bar Alt+D Force Reload (not from cache) Ctrl+F5 A faster way to type in addresses with IE is to just type in the name of the site: worldstart and hit CTRL + Enter. The "http://www. " and ".com" will be added for you! Netscape ONLY Open / Close Sidebar Panel (toggle) F9 Select text in Location Bar Ctrl+L Force Reload (not from Cache) Ctrl+Shift+R Zoom Text Smaller Ctrl+- (minus) Zoom text larger Ctrl+= (plus sign) WINDOWS KEY SHORTCUTS The Windows key can be used in conjunction with other keys to act as a keyboard shortcut for faster access to menu commands. Now, while the Alt key tends to open program menus (ex: Alt+F opens the File menu and Alt+E opens the Edit menu) and the Ctrl key performs actual operations (ex: Ctrl+C will copy and Ctrl+V will paste), the Windows key will open various Windows tools. Win key + R will open the Start menu's Run box Win key + F will open the Start menu's Find window Win key + E will quickly launch Explorer Win key + Pause/Break will open the System Properties window Win key + M will Minimize all windows Win key + Shift + M will undo Minimize all windows Win key + D will switch between minimizing all open programs and showing them all Win key + Tab will cycle through items on the taskbar Win key by itself will open the Start menu You can also open programs or folders on your desktop by pressing the Windows key + the first letter of the program/folder/shortcut + Enter . Sounds kinda tedious, but if you're in a bind with your mouse, it can come in quite handy. ARROW TRICKS Here's a cool little arrow trick to try with word processing programs. Next time you're using your arrow keys to go from one area of a sentence to another (left and right arrows), hold down your CTRL key. Instead of moving one space at a time, you'll go one word at a time. If you're using the up and down arrows to go from line to line, holding down the CTRL key will make your cursor jump from paragraph to paragraph (well, from carriage return to carriage return anyway). One last thing, if you hold down the SHIFT key while you do this (i.e. hold down SHIFT + CTRL at the same time), you select text as you arrow along. I've tested this in MS Word and Wordpad, but it *should* work no matter what word processing program you use. HOME / END KEY FUN Do you ever find yourself scrolling through a huge folder ? Well, if you need to get to the beginning or the end quickly, just press Ctrl+Home . If you want to get to the end, click Ctrl+End. This little trick works on more than just folders. If you use the Home key in a word processor, it goes to the beginning of the line you're currently working on. If you hit the END key, it should head to the end of the current line. If you pair Home & End up with the Ctrl key in a word processor, you will be whisked away to the beginning or end of the document. Again, this should work, but it depends on your word processor.
