The Best Computer Tips and Tricks: Keyboard Shortcuts for Windows Vista and XP and Microsoft Office

Windows Key+E
The best part about shortcut keys is letting your keyboard do half the work. This is a perfect example: This shortcut allows you to open Windows Explorer with one quick keystroke.

Windows Key+M
This is the shortcut to keep in mind when you are at work doing anything but working—it allows you to minimize all of your open windows, leaving just the desktop left exposed. To restore the windows, hit Windows key+Shift+M. Another quick way to do this is Windows key+D, which shows your desktop; to restore, just repeat the same keystroke. This is a handy shortcut to have around the next time your boss is wandering through the office.

Alt+Tab
This allows you to easily scroll through all the windows you have open. If you're working in Word and referring to something in Explorer, for example, you can toggle back and forth between the two programs. You can also use this to switch between windows in the same program, making multitasking a breeze. Very similar is Windows key+Tab: In XP, it lets you scroll the items on the taskbar, and in Vista, it starts Flip 3D for a fun graphical spin on the same idea.

Alt+F4
This shortcut is a quick way to close a window in any program. Alt+Spacebar+C (which requires less stretching, but more keys) and Ctrl+W do the same thing. Any of the ways will allow you to close a window without using your mouse to hit the X in the upper-right corner.

Ctrl+Arrow Keys
In Microsoft Word, the left and right arrows allow you to move the cursor to the beginning of the previous word or the next word; the up and down arrows will do the same with paragraphs. This is very helpful when editing a document or scanning for any reason.

Shift+Delete
If you want to delete a file—and you don't want to deal with it later in the Recycle Bin—this is the way to go. Just be absolutely sure that this is a file you won't want back!
Hold Shift While Inserting a CD
Have you ever wanted to insert a CD and not use it right away? This shortcut allows you to bypass Autorun when inserting a CD so you can control exactly when you will use a CD you've inserted.

Ctrl+Drag
There are many ways to copy a file, but this just might be the easiest. All you have to do is click on the file, hold, and drag it into its desired location. This works the same as another handy shortcut,

Ctrl+C.
Windows Key+U+U
Quickly shut down Windows by hitting the Windows key (don't hold it down), hitting U to reach the shutdown menu, and then hitting U again to shut down.

Windows Key+Pause
Need a quick way to get to the Systems Properties menu without too much thought? Just press these two keys and you'll be brought right to it.

Ctrl+Z, Ctrl+Y
Undo an action by hitting Ctrl+Z; if you change your mind, Ctrl+Y will redo the undo.
Shift + Arrow Keys
Holding shift and pressing one of the arrow keys will highlight text in Word (or a group of Excel cells) without the mouse, selecting in the direction the arrow points.

Ctrl+U, Ctrl+B, Ctrl+I
This one's for Office newbies. It's a snap to underline, bold, and italicize without the mouse if you press Ctrl+U (underlining), Ctrl+B (bolding), or Ctrl+I (italicizing).

How to Enable & Disable Administrator Account in Windows.

1. Enable Built-in Administrator Account :

First you’ll need to open a command prompt in administrator mode by right-clicking and choosing
“Run as administrator” (or use the Ctrl+Shift+Enter shortcut from the search box).

image

If you are in Windows 8.x you can right-click on the Start button and choose to open a command
prompt that way.



Now type the following command:

net user administrator /active:yes

image

You should see a message that the command completed successfully. Log out, and you’ll now see the Administrator account as a choice. (Note that the screenshots are from Vista, but this works on
Windows 7 and Windows 8)

image

You’ll note that there’s no password for this account, so if you want to leave it enabled you should change the password.

2. Disable Built-in Administrator Account :

Make sure you are logged on as your regular user account, and then open an administrator mode command prompt as above. Type the following command:

net user administrator /active:no

image

The administrator account will now be disabled, and shouldn’t show up on the login screen anymore.

Basic Concept Of INTERNET, INTRANET, EXTRANET and VPN Connections.


Lesson Objective

1.1: Understand the concepts of the Internet, intranet, and extranet. This objective may include but is not limited to: VPN, security zones, firewalls.


Content

1.      The Internet has been called the “Information Superhighway.” Define the Internet and discuss why you would agree or disagree with this alternative label for the Internet.
Sample answer:
Internet:
A worldwide computer network that allows people to communicate and exchange information. The Internet is not owned by any particular company or person.
Most students would probably agree with the label Information Superhighway, citing such things as the global/international reach of the Internet, the high-speed connections of the Internet’s backbone
.

2.      The term extranet was coined by Mark Andreesen, a key developer of the early Web browser Mosaic, in 1996. He was actually criticized by Network World . The editorial stated that "... extranet is just a piece of marketing-speak gobbledygook that some people with too much time on their keyboards and a lack of inspiration are using" and ended with the statement, "an extranet by any other name is still an intranet."
Define an intranet and an extranet. Discuss your view of this editorial: do you think a single term should be used or are both terms necessary?

Sample answer:
Intranet:
A private network based on Internet protocols such as TCP/IP that is strictly internal to the organization and is not connected to the Internet directly. It is designed for information management within a company or organization, and includes such services as specialized applications, document distribution, software distribution, access to databases, and training.
Extranet: An extension of a corporate intranet using World Wide Web technology to facilitate communication with the corporation’s suppliers, customers, and business partners. An extranet allows limited access to a company’s intranet in order to enhance the speed and efficiency of their business relationship.
Yes, both terms are necessary—if we take net to mean network then intranet means internal network and extranet means external network, which makes it easier to understand how that type of network is being used.
Networking can be a complicated subject, so when you can capture the meaning of something in a single word it helps the public grasp a concept in a simple way. Yes, it can be a catchy marketing tool, but if it’s useful it will continue to be used over time. Intranet and extranet have become useful words such that they are now part of the networking lexicon.

3.      Provide a brief overview of each of the four basic features common to all VPN connections.
Sample answer:
The four basic features common to all VPN connections are:
Authentication:
The process of assuring the person who is accessing the VPN is really the person who is authorized to use the system.
Authorization:
The capability of limiting access to only authorized users to the
VPN.
Confidentiality: The capability of preventing anyone else from reading the data outside of the VPN.
Data integrity:
The process of ensuring the data that
leaves the source and arrives at the destination has not been tampered with while passing through the VPN.

4.      A company wants to connect all employees’ computers so they can share information without accessing the Internet—what type of network should they implement?
Sample answer:
An intranet would be the best network for this company.
