Welcome Family, Friends & Visitors...
Today I'm sneaking in as I miss being online!
I still need plenty of rest by the doctor orders, I came in briefly to share a bit of what is going on
and of course tips to add to your files. I've been on Yarrow plant for
two weeks now and already have a small change in breathing. I'll keep
it up as time goes by I too will breath much better like Savanna!
Precious and I has been in training
for a week now at my property and we're both doing great. She loves to
work and learns real fast, I'm happy to say that she's a calm filly
just like her mother! Training is on Monday through Friday for one hour
a day and for one month, I enjoy it a lot but do have a bit of a hard
time as I'm not doing so well.
Today I'm sharing an article published by Jim Edward I think you'll really like with many tips for you. It has NOTHING to do with online business, but has everything to do with saving you time and frustration using your computer.
Enjoy the article & tips...

5 Cool Time-Saving Shortcuts for Windows

I think most of us feel
that expensive operating systems like
Windows can do more things than just keep the computer running, the
problem is we don't know what they are!
Well, over the years I've
discovered a few shortcuts that rate
extremely handy for saving time, recovering from mistakes, or avoiding
effort.
Now, a few geeks among us
may immediately say I could have
read the manual to discover these instead of tripping on them over the
years, but that would take out all the fun!
And now dear reader, I
pass these magical secrets on to you.
The Ultimate "Do
Over" -
Does this sound familiar?
You spend 30 minutes
typing up and email message, get ready to
hit send, your hand slips, and the message disappears.
You feel a rush of anger,
fear and sadness in your gut, take a
deep breath, and start typing again.
Next time something like
that happens, just hit the "Ctrl+Z"
keys and it should undo the last action you took in a web browser,
form, word processor, spreadsheet or virtually any other Windows
application.
I can't tell you how many
times "Ctrl+Z" has pulled my bacon
out of the fire when I accidentally hit the wrong button or key.
File Finders -
The more you use your
computer, the more files you seem to
create and collect.
Often, finding files you
already created rates harder than
just creating a new one, especially after any significant length of
time passes.
Two shortcuts can help
you quickly find the files you need
with just a few keystrokes.
<Windows>+F -
This combination of the Windows logo key
and the F key at the same time launches the Windows Search
utility.
This enables you to
search for files based on partial filename
(because if you could remember the entire filename, you would have
found it already), file type (all your MP3 files), contents of the file
(I know the spreadsheet contains these words), creation date (I created
this file last month), and more.
<Windows>+E -
This allows you to open up the Windows explorer feature in
Windows to explore your hard drives, memory sticks, CD and DVD drives.
Windows Explorer makes it
very easy to get your hands on a
file if you know where it is (or, at least where it should be the last
time you used it).
Zoom IN / Zoom
OUT -
Okay, I'll admit it.
My eyes seem to suffer
from a combination of too much computer
time and the slow creeping wheels of Father Time (I'm getting older).
Bottom line: sometimes
the words on the screen are just too
darn small!
You can solve this
problem with <Ctrl>+Mouse Wheel.
Just hold the
<Ctrl> key down and roll your mouse wheel
up and down to adjust the zoom.
This little shortcut
works in many applications, including
Word, Internet Explorer, FireFox, and Excel.
Shields Down
Captain! -
Ever look down at your
task bar and see 20 open windows and
realize you need to make your way to the desktop in a hurry?
<Windows>+D
will minimize all open windows on your
computer to expose your desktop.
Hit the keys again and
your open windows spring back to life
and allow you to continue working.
I've Got a Case! -
Ever need to convert text
to all CAPS, or change to Title
Case, or convert to all lower case?
Simply highlight the text
in your word processor and hit
<Shift>+<F3> to cycle between all caps, lowercase and title
case.
This shortcut rates very
handy when you don't want to retype
blocks of text.
