Born and raised in Portage (Near/part of Kalamazoo) Michigan USA, It's 1/2 way between Chicago and Detroit on I-94. Moved to about 30 miles south of Columbia (capital) South Carolina for work. Met wife down there, married in 2000. She's got big family so we're staying down there. While I'm in Michigan PoorBoy is my nearest User. I don't know of anyone from SC. ID: 108346 · |

Well... I'm originally from Toronto, Ont, but I'm currently at school in Ottawa. I don't know if Petite Soleil is still crunching and still in Montreal, but if he is, he's the closest person that I know of (about 150km/2h away) ID: 108379 · |

Thanks!!!! >:-) Yeah, there's a lot of things, especially shortcut keystrokes, Microsoft doesn't publish so you just have to luck out running across it. One of my favorites is (alt)+(enter), which will bring up the "Properties" window of a highlighted icon, so if that icon happens to be My Computer you can pull up the System Properties/Device Manager, for Internet Explorer it does Internet Settings, etc. I knew nothing about that keystroke until a colleague showed it to me at work one day. It saved a lot of time on machines where the mouse wasn't working, in conjunction with (alt)+(F4) (universal close window) and the tab and (alt)+(tab) thing. ID: 108624 · |
