Krosigrim Posted January 17, 2008 Posted January 17, 2008 Ok a while back, EM told me about hitting the Prt Scrn "Print Screen" button and pasting it in photoshop or MSpaint even. Well this makes things so much cooler, as I can, for instance, take a screen shot of maps I am making in UTED, and show someone what I am working on. Although... Print Screen didn't work for Diablo ][ for some reason.... Anyway... I never knew this and I think it is useful. And I am sure there is plenty of other cool things that I or someone else may not know. So please share with us, something cool or useful. Ill submit one... F11 cleans up the window (Firefox) not sure if it does in in other browsers... But I found this quite useful, as it open the screen up so very much. So yea.... what do you know about?

Shibathedog Posted January 23, 2008 Posted January 23, 2008 Windows Key + R Opens the run command window. Pretty standard right? Well you'll thank me one day when your stuck on a Vista machine where there is no oldschool run command box You can do all sorts of neat things from there.
