If You Love Quick and Easy Tips, These Windows Tips Are For You!
Today, we’re going to show you how to make some common computer tasks easier. Here are three quick and easy tips you can use with both Windows 10 and Windows 11.
Tip Number One: Web Forms
Let’s say, you are filling out a Web form and you make a mistake -you typed in the wrong email address or whatever. Instead of backspacing to remove the incorrect address, put your cursor in the form field and press the CTRL key plus the A key and then the Delete Key.
Why it works: CTRL + A highlights everything in the form field. The Delete key deletes all the highlighted text.
Tip Number Two: Top to Bottom; Beginning to End
Now, imagine you’re viewing a very long web page and you are nearly at the bottom… but you need to go back to the top. Instead of scrolling back to the top, just press the CTRL + HOME keys. If you want to go to the bottom of the page, instead of scrolling to the bottom, just press the CTRL+ END keys. On some keyboards, you can forget the CTRL key and just press the Home or End keys to get to the top of a page. It’s that simple, we tells ya!
Tip Number Three: A Quick Way to Highlight a Paragraph (or Any Block of Text)
OK, last one for today…
Here’s a really easy way to highlight a large block of text. Put your cursor at the top of this tip and left-click. Now put it at the bottom of this tip and click while holding down the SHIFT key. Pretty cool, huh?
Hi Friends. I got an email from our funeral home and wants me to down load something. It ends with .ics. Nothing opens that. I tried Word, irfanview, notepad and those don’t work. Then I clicked on New Outlook and now thats all that pops up. I didn’t register it till I checked with you.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
The file extension “.ics” stands for iCalendar file. It’s a standardized format for calendar data exchange. The primary purpose of .ics files is to share calendar events between different applications and platforms. You can export an event from your calendar app and save it as a .ics file. This file can then be imported into another calendar app, allowing you to easily share appointments, meetings, or reminders. The iCalendar format is widely supported by various calendar applications, web services, and email programs like the New Outlook. I can’t tell you whether or not to register…it depends on how much you trust the funeral home.
