Does anyone else find the 104-key keyboards annoying? Does anyone actually use the 'windows keys'? I sweat they only put those things out to fuck with people who play games. You accidently hit it and it takes you right out of your game even though it's still running.... Bill Gates' vision shouldn't also ruin my keyboard... |

why are there so many short cuts that are so sweet, but so NOT obvious? stupid Microsoft |

That is for Internet Explorer....not Windows Explorer. Pressing Windows+E is so handy if I wanna access my drive letters...such as my USB memory stick or my camera's card reader. Windows+M = Minimise all windows Windows+BREAK = Display the System Properties dialog box. Windows+D = Show the desktop. Windows+Shift+M = Restores minimized windows. Windows+E = Open My Computer. Windows+F = Find Windows+L Lock your computer if you are connected to a network (very quick and cool) Windows+R Open the Run dialog box. Windows+U Open Utility Manager. There are others too... Also I find if the mouse is screwed...then you can right click with the keyboard! ;) |

Probably because not many people use them enough...so it isn't widely known. A colleague of mine, showed me the 'Windows+E' function....and I have used it ever since. People ask me... "What did you press for that??!" :D |

How does that last one work? (Sorry. Rather computer illiterate in some aspects.) |

I am using XP and they all work for me.....that being said I'm using a nice Microsoft keyboard, using their drivers !?!?? |
||||||||

I also use XP and I can also use all of the button thingies mentioned above and have done for years. |

I use the windows key all the time. It's very usefull, and only occasionally mildly annoying. In those circumstances I have a little proggie I wrote to disable the system keys. Cos I'm nerdy like that. |
||||||||
|

|
|
there should be a way to disable the windows key for games...but i forgot it... if you are a keyboard whore checkout www.eluminx.com |

You need not have written a program, it can be disabled anyway. :$ |

Well in addition to the left and right WIN keys, it disables other key combos like ALT-F4, ALT-TAB, ALT on it's own, CTRL-ESC and ALT-TAB and I'm working on disabling CTRL-ALT-DEL too, but that's tricky in the likes of XP. I just wanted a quick and easy way to toggle on and off different system keys. Originally I had to do it for work purposes but I've found other uses for it (running epsxe for instance! press the left ALT button during a game and things go barmy!). I might even expand the code to do a complete "redefine keyboard" for those keyboards that are missing keys. |

I just use an old 101-key keyboard I found in the $10 bin... it's says 'Kid TRONIC' on it and is made in primary colors... [you know... {yellow, blue, red}] and I have a mouse I don't even use my start/programs menu.. I keep everything in my quicklaunch area... maybe I should learn but I wonl;t because I;m apathetic... like the Rats of Nymh "We know too much." |
