My very favorite Windows tip is toggling between open windows by holding down the Windows key and tapping the tab key. It gives a thumbnail view of each window in a sweet format.
My favorite Windows tip is the screen print feature. I use it whenever I get an error message. Instead of me having to explain what happened, I just show the scrren print.
To make a degree symble with left hand whole down(ALT)with right hand type 167 and you will have 350ºsumble
On my windows pc, you have to enter Alt + 0176 using the number keypad to get the degree symbol °. Here’s a few more: Alt + 0174 for the registered trademark symbol ®, Alt + 0247 for the division symbol, Alt + 0153 for the trademark symbol ™, Alt + 0169 for the copyright symbol ©, and Alt + 0162 for the cents symbol ¢.
My favorite is the cross. By having the Numbers Key on then tap the alt key, then 0134. Thanks
This is a Windows Trick I Discovered on my on by trial & error, and I do Mean Error as Clicking on Internet Explorer to do anything without getting a Hung Application Error or Internet Explorer is Not Responding Error! Well, I was fed up with that so I said I am going to try something & see if it works! I went to Search and went thru my Favorites and opened my email sign in page, got my emails loaded & wanted to do my Banking so I opened my Banking home page & did my banking and on & on, and guess What I never got any errors or had to shut down Internet Explorer! This is the only way I get Online Now & free of Internet Explorer Errors!!! Thought I would share this if any of you have some of these same Probkems you have to try this, it really works!!! Hope this Tip makes it to be Published.

To quickly return to a previous Windows screen in Windows Explorer, press the Backspace key. This also works in Internet Explorer and Google Chrome. (I’m not sure if it works in other browsers.)
A handy tip is, when browsing with multiple tabs open.
If you close one or more tabs…then want to reopen them.
Hold Ctrl and Shift then tap the T key.
Frequently I need to open up “documents and/or folders” within so I right click on “File Explorer” in my Taskbar which provides me with instant access to them.

Press Ctrl and the plus key to enlarge the screen. Press Ctrl and the minus key to reduce the size of the screen. I use these tips every day.
Shift+F3 turns Heading into HEADING!
