If you press the windows key (in the keyboard) plus E, R, D or F you can open certain things, like:

E = EXPLORER
R = RUN
D = DESKTOP
F = FIND
M = MINIMIZE

This opens up a Windows Explorer window, a run box (like the one thats in the start menu), show desktop, a search window or minimize all windows open (which is not exacly the same that showing desktop).

Maybe a lot of people know this but if you dont, if you are running microsoft windows xp you have 2 messengers; windows messenger and microsoft network messenger (MSN messenger). You can access both, and have to sessions open at the same time.

Bring up yer run box and type:

msnmsgr - for msn messenger
msmsgs - for windows messenger

Note that windows messenger would not be able to upgrade, but once, and it will still be the 4.7 version.

For those who dont know: you can access almost every program from this run box (windows + r), for example:

winword - microsoft office word
excel - microsoft office excel
powerpnt - microsoft office power point
calc - windows calculator
notepad - =
firefox - =
www.address.com - opens default browser with the given address
regedit - windows registry
wmplayer - windows media player

osk - on screen keyboard
magnify - on screen windows zoom
taskmgr - task manager
services.msc - services

etc etc.

You can close a window by double clicking the icon at the upper side of the same window, on the left, like if you were going to close it normally on the 'X' but in the left side.

You can browse through windows with alt-tab, most of you would know, but what some of you wouldnt is that you can go backwards, shift-alt-tabbing.. (the same as for normal tabbing through a form in the web or the options of any given 'options' menu, shift + tab will go back instead of forth).

You can view the screen upside down. Go to start > run rand type "esc" (yes, the escape key up and left corner of keyboard). Then grabb your screen and turn it around (im sorry, thought this would be funny ).

Here's a pretty useless yet somewhat fun trick to rename the window title in IE- I've only tried this out on Win2k and Windows XP running IE6. I discovered it one day while curiously searching through the registry to see if I could change the "Internet Explorer provided by Abbot Laboratories" on my laptop (It's an ancient hand-me-down from my uncle)

This is a fairly safe trick. As long as you stick to the instructions here and don't go messing around with other Registry entries, you should be fine. However, just to be safe, you should always back-up your registry before doing any kind of manual editing.
1. Open the Registry Editor

Start -> Run -> type in regedit

2. Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT\INTERNET EXPLORER\Main

NOTE: If the Window Title key already exists, you can skip step 3.

3. Right click somewhere in the right panel and choose new String Value. Name it Window Title

4. Double click on Window Title and where it says "Value data" put whatever you want your IE window title to say- For example, you could put something like "Bob's Magical Internet Explorer!" or maybe something slightly less lame. When you've made up your mind, hit ok.

5. Now open up IE and behold your own custom window title located to the right of whatever the name of the website you're viewing is. If you decide later you'd rather stick to the default "Microsoft Internet Explorer" title, just go back delete the Window Title value.

Well even those this is old topic, maybe someone will look for tips. So i ll share my tips.
Please note that all of this tips are working on my computer and i didnt had any problems with my computer.

SPEED UP YOUR INTERNET!
Lets start!
Open REGEDIT(Start->Run->Regedit)
Now you ll need to find a key on this location

"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE - Software - Microsoft - Windows -
Current Version - Explorer - RemoteComputer - NameSpace"

When you got there you ll need to delet this key (D6277990-4C6A-11CF-8D87-00AA0O60F5BF}
