Need to shut down two or three open programs quickly, but leave the rest running? Hold down the CTRL key as you click their buttons on the taskbar. Then, right-click (still holding down the CTRL key) one of those depressed buttons and select “Close” from the resulting menu.
Note: There are other functions you can do, too! You can also minimize, maximize, restore, cascade, or tile these windows using this technique.
Define it With Google
Need a quick word definition? Go to Google and type "define:" (without the quotes) followed by the word. So, if you want to know what "gigabyte" means, just type in "define: gigabyte" (again, without quotes) and hit the Search Button. You'll get a list drawn from several sites. Check it out!

Vista Shutdown Shortcut
If you would like to create a shutdown shortcut for your Vista computer, here's what you need to do. First, right click on your desktop and choose New. Click on the Shortcut option and then wait for the New Shortcut wizard to come up on your screen. Once it does, it will ask you for the location of your new shortcut. In the box, type "shutdown -s -t 01" (without the quotes). Then click on the Next button to finish out the process.
. Once your shortcut is created, you'll see a new icon on your desktop and you can just click on it every time you want to shut your computer down. That's right, you now have the power to turn your computer off with just one click! Note: Just to make sure you get the location right, it's best to copy and past
it from the above paragraph. That way, you're sure to get the spacing and everything correct. Now, go on and enjoy your brand new Vista shortcut.
Most computers now have hard drives big enough to allow either a "custom" or "typical" install. Of course, if you've used all those modern gigabytes of space with excess programs, images, and music, you may still want to think about a compact install.
Sometimes when I install software, I get options for "typical", "custom", or "compact" installations. How do I know which one to use?
Just remember, when you go compact, you may lose certain features or find that you need to have the CD handy in order to run the program.
so what about choosing "typical" or "custom"? Typical is good for a quick, no brainer install, but here again, you may be missing out on some features.
I generally choose the "custom" install option. It's been my experience that when the component selection screen pops up, the stuff it would have done in a "typical" install is selected by default.
So, I just look though and decide if there is anything that's not selected that I want selected—or if there's anything that is selected that I don't need (like foreign language files and such).
Most of the time, I glance over the options and end up leaving everything alone. However, there are times when a certain feature I want is not selected by default, so taking a second to look things over really pays off.
