Techxel Technical Support Tips: Part 1 – Keyboard Shortcuts

Keyboard shortcuts are great – when you know about them that is!  So each week, we’ll list a few keyboard shortcuts that should save you time, AND impress your techinical support engineer into the bargain…

Keyboard Shortcuts for Windows XP…

1. Fix it:
   Ctrl Alt Del is the daddy of all keyboard shortcuts. Use it when your screen freezes. Pressing the combination once (simultaneously) opens the Windows Task Manager. From within the Task Manager, you can force-quit a crashed program, see a list of processes or applications running on your machine, check how hard your CPU is working, or track your network usage.
2. Save it:
   Ctrl S saves the file you’re working on. Hit Ctrl S (simultaneously) to save your hard work. Use it frequently!
3. Cut, Copy & Paste it:
   Ctrl C copies text, files, or icons that you’ve highlighted, Ctrl V pastes them where you point your mouse and Ctrl X cuts whatever you’ve highlighted out of the file.
