Those pennies gather up over a year, so making yourself more efficient at what you do on your computer should be at the top of your list. If you  lose 2 cents for every second you lose and you waste 2 minutes of the day moving your mouse instead of pressing quick shortcut keys, that\u2019s $864 every year you\u2019ll never recover &#8212; almost one grand! Even if you don\u2019t make money on your computer, think of how much time you can save to do other things like reading a book or playing ball with your kid that always complains about you being such a busy beaver.<\/p>\n<h3>1. Win + Tab (similar to Alt + Tab)<\/h3>\n<p>Many of you know that you can press the \u201cAlt + Tab\u201d shortcut key to switch between windows, but perhaps a few of you don\u2019t know that you can press the \u201cWindows Logo + Tab\u201d key (next to the \u201cAlt\u201d key) for a similar effect, only more aesthetically pleasing. Some may argue that this is slower than using the mouse, and while I still use my mouse, I\u2019ve heard of people who have trained themselves to use this feature with much better timing than others would with a mouse. If not for speed, at least you can enjoy the beautiful switching effect when you use the \u201cWin\u201d key, which lives totally up to its name.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re really bored, just hold down both keys continuously. You\u2019ll see the screen just cycle between windows endlessly in a marching parade of dialogs and text. I confess I\u2019ve done this numerous times while waiting for a press release.<\/p>\n<h3>2. Win and + \/ &#8211;<\/h3>\n<p>If you\u2019re coming of age, you might be bothered by the inability to comfortably read unmagnified text in a window. In that case, perhaps you already know of the \u201cCtrl\u201d and \u201cplus\u201d key combination. If you don\u2019t, jot it down. This also comes useful. \u201cCtrl + Plus\u201d magnifies the window you\u2019re currently in, depending on whether the program recognizes that combination or not. You can\u2019t magnify all windows with this combination, though. Use the \u201cWindows Logo\u201d key mentioned earlier in place of the \u201cCtrl\u201d key to magnify your entire screen.<\/p>\n<h3><b><a href=\"http:\/\/maketecheasier.com\/8-useful-shortcut-keys-using-the-windows-button-windows-7\/2011\/12\/09\" target=\"_blank\">Article Continued Here-Tips 3-8<\/a><\/b><\/h3>\n<p>This excerpt is shared with permission from maketecheasier.com.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/techtalk.pcpitstop.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/20110628maketecheasier.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"maketecheasier.com\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-18914\" \/><\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re a rather busy person like me, every single second you waste throws pennies down the drain.
