Three Handy Productivity Tips For You!
Windows XP Home, Media, and Professional

1. Print from Windows Explorer
If you need to print a document, for example, let's say a Microsoft Word document, you don't have to open up MS Word first. Browse your hard drive and find the file that you want to print, right-click on its icon, and then click Print. This automatically sends the document to your printer without having to launching MS Word.

2. Use small icons on your Start menu
After you install a few dozen (or a few hundred) applications, your Start menu becomes very crowded. The simplest way to reduce the size of your Start Menu and to reduce the clutter is to use small icons instead of those big ones (you know the ones!)

To switch to small icons, right-click the Start menu and click Properties.

Next, click the Start Menu tab and then click the Customize button.

Now click the General tab, click Small Icons, and then click OK twice.

3. Send an e-mail attachment from anywhere

Find the file on your hard drive that you want to send by e-mail.
Right-click the file's icon
Click "Send To" and select "Mail Recipient"
A new mail message will open with the file attached and ready to send.
Insert the person's email address you want to send your attachment to from your address book (or type it in)
Change the message text from the default stuff that appears there (or you can leave it if you really don't care)

Now you can send your attachment. The best part is that you don't have to open your email program, add the attachment or fill in the subject line. Simpler is better and easier is best. Don't you think?
