If you need help, ask God. If you don't, Thank God Ruby Norton I've reached the age where the happy hour is a nap. --- On Thu, 1/5/12, Shelba Miller <[email protected]> wrote: From: Shelba Miller <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [Pcusers] - Windows Key and other keyboard Commands To: "Maillist for EPCUG" <[email protected]> Date: Thursday, January 5, 2012, 11:32 AM Thanks ever so much That is a great help since I just went to Win 7 from XL.

Do a search for “Windows Key Commands” in Google and you will see almost 57,000 hits. Here are some I ran across near the top of the results: A-Z Windows Key Commands http://realtimer.hubpages.com/hub/A-Z-Windows-Key-Commands Windows Key Commands - BOSMA Weekend Assistive Technology Seminar (info on using with screen readers so you can "hear" what you are doing). http://www.brlsts.com/Windows%20Key%20Commands.html PC Keyboard Shortcuts (includes tables of all types: Ctrl, Alt, F, Windows Logo Keys, etc. in tables). http://www.digitalmindcomputers.com/pc-keyboard-shortcuts/ Mac Keyboard Shortcuts http://www.digitalmindcomputers.com/mac-keyboard-shortcuts/ Here is one table from the DigitalMind Computers page above. I have not personally verified that each command works. Keyboard Shortcut Result in Windows® XP - General Windows Logo Display or hide the Start menu Windows Logo+BREAK Display the System Properties dialog box Windows Logo+D Display the desktop Windows Logo+M Minimize all of the windows Windows Logo+SHIFT+M Restore the minimized windows Windows Logo+E Open My Computer Windows Logo+F Search for a file or a folder CTRL+Windows Logo+F Search for computers Windows Logo+F1 Display Windows Help Windows Logo+L Lock the keyboard Windows Logo+R Open the Run dialog box Windows Logo+U Open Utility Manager The commands I use dozens of times a day are the +E for “My Computer” (which I still call Explorer) and the +L key to lock my computer. At my work we have screen savers that lock the computer after no activity for 15 minutes. But if I step out of my office I must make sure no one can use my computer and the +L is much faster than the alternative Ctrl-Alt-Del W combination for “Lock Workstation”. Windows Help has similar tables, if you can find how to get to it: Press Windows Logo+F1 to display Windows Help Enter “Keyboard shortcut” in the Search field.There are other tidbits about keyboard shortcuts in the search results you might find interesting, but for now, Select “Windows keyboard shortcuts overview” After I pasted the above text from the search results, I realized it was a link (which makes sense). If you click on it (and ignore the warning) it may take you directly to the “Windows keyboard shortcuts overview page”, but possibly without the graphics. That link is ms-its:C:\WINDOWS\Help\keyshort.chm::/keys_general.htm. And yes you can drag the link from the URL (address or location) field in your browser onto your links or favorites bar, or onto your desktop, so you can get to it easily whenever you want. Again, the graphics on the page don’t load – at least for me.

Thank you SOOO much !!! I had not even noticed the windows logo on the keyboard before you wrote me – then I tried it and there it was open/run!!! I had thought I had looked EVERUWHERE but not right before my nose. Thanks.

Using the run feature in windows 7 is the same as it is in Vista. You either type what you want in the box above the start button, or press the keys to bring up the run box. Windows in general uses the Win-r keys (press the windows key and tap "r" key) to bring up a run box to type your command in. This displays the same Run box as the older windows where you click start and run. ... It could just change your life... http://KellyandZener.PrePaidLegal.com From: Marion Service <[email protected]> To: 'Maillist for EPCUG' <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, January 2, 2012 8:14 PM Subject: Re: [Pcusers] It's Monday? Hi Larry: I had people over to watch the game great win!!! Unfortunately, no one knew how to use my new Win 7 machine so I am back to my own devices and winging it without much success. For instance: Microsoft tells me to go to Start and “open” and then “run”. I can’t find them!!! Google isn’t leading me anywhere at all. If you would like to help, leave me your phone number and best time to call or use mine: 485-8838. Tomorrow the normalcy begins again and I have appts to keep so I’ll be in and out. Thanks, Larry Marion PS I’m writing this on my Vista laptop which I am glad to have!!! _______________________________________________ The Eugene PC User Group's mailing list Write to this list at: [email protected] To unsubscribe just send an email to: [email protected] To change your maillist options or view the archive visit: http://epcug.net/mailman/listinfo/pcusers_epcug.net -----Inline Attachment Follows----- _______________________________________________ The Eugene PC User Group's mailing list Write to this list at: [email protected] To unsubscribe just send an email to: [email protected] To change your maillist options or view the archive visit: http://epcug.net/mailman/listinfo/pcusers_epcug.net
