In just about every program you use, you may have noticed that the toolbar at the top (the one with File, Edit, View, etc.) has underlined letters. The “F” in File has a little underline the “V” in View and so on...
Like this:
Well, if you press your Alt key and a corresponding letter...
or example: Alt+T
Poof! The Tools menu opens! So press Alt+F for file, Alt+E for Edit, Alt+V for view - anything with an underlined letter should work.
I like this method, because after the menu opens I can use the arrow keys to move and select what I want!
Like That One!
So, if you've done an image search on Google lately, you've probably noticed that they've changed their format around a little bit. Instead of just thumbnail images, if you put your mouse over an image it expands a bit, giving you a larger view.
You may also notice a link that says “Similar”.
How this comes in handy is if you're looking for a particular image, but want to see what else is out there that has like traits. So, if the image in question has a color scheme you like or the picture is taken at a certain angle, you can just click Similar and bring up more results that fit your criteria.
For example, I found a picture of a laptop:
Then I clicked Similar:

View Files in Your Internet Browser
Internet Explorer and Firefox can do more than just surf the web! Use them to open all sorts of files.
Just drag and drop a file into your browser window and watch it open. It comes in handy, especially for looking at JPEG's and GIF's, but other files work, as well. It can also open text files, and provided you have the correct Office software installed on your computer, it can open some of those, too! Experiment a bit and see what you come up with! Just drag a file over into an open browser window!
