Windows tips

 

 

Tip1 - Ctrl+Alt+Del

Your in the middle of an important document, somehow you overloaded your computer and it suddenly freezes. Oh no, you didn't save. your gonna have to press the reset button and loose all your data. Wrong, it may be that one of your programs is not responding, in that case you can hold the Ctrl then Alt then Del keys all at the same time, in that order and then you will see the Close Program window come up. (See below)

 

Then you look for the program that's giving problem, it's usually the one that has "not responding beside it," then you can click on it and press End Task. Then wait for a confirmation window to come up and click on End Task. After that your computer should return back to normal. If not follow the procedure again, and look for other programs that are not responding and end them as described above  

NOTE: you can also combine this tip with Alt+S (i.e. hold Crtl+Alt+Del, let go and then hold Alt+S), this will automatically shutdown your computer. it's a lot faster than clicking the Start Menu and then selecting Shutdown.
