Do you struggle with your computer? Are you always looking up websites that may, or may not, help you with your computer?
Recently sukosaki.info posted about how he gets visitors to his blogs for free. I thought I would put a couple of easy to do computer tips out there for everyone to read. Maybe these will take a little of the stress off you while using your computer.
Tip #1:
Did you know that you can search your entire computer from the “Start” button? Right click on the Start button and select “Explore”. A split window opens and there is a “file tree” along the left side of your window. From there you can look into any folder or drive you have in your computer.
Tip #2:
Shift+Tab will move your cursor “backwards” one field in a form or selected item on a web site. Go ahead and try it. And of course just Tab will move the cursor forward one field.
Tip #3:
Opening links in a new tab will keep your browser from getting all messed up or putting tons of open browsers on the bar on the bottom of your screen. Just right click any link and select “open in new tab” (IE 7, only) and whaalaa, you are now checking out two sites in one browser window.

1Re. tip #1
OR if you have your hands closer to the keyboard than the mouse, you can always just hold down the Windows Flag key, and tap ‘E’.
Re. tip #2
The same applies for swapping applications. To clarify, Alt+Tab obviously brings up a window to allow you to change programs. Shift+Alt+Tab does the same, but cycles backwards through currently loaded programs. Useful if you have a lot open at the same time.
Re. tip #3
Some browsers also allow you to just middle click (as in click the scroll wheel) on the link.
