Windows 95 Tips and Tricks

#1: Create a link to Notepad.exe in your Sendto folder. Use the right mouse button and click the file you want to view. Click sent to and then Notepad.

#2: If you want to delete something without going to the recycle bin, hold down the shift key and delete it. Shift, delete, works the same way.

#3: Windows 95 has some helpfull videos for beginners. These take up about 7MB of space. They are AVI files. If you don't need them anymore, go to C:\WINDOWS\HELP folder and delete them.

#4: Windows 95 has a free Internet utility called IP Configuration that lets you check out all the stats of your Internet setup. Launch Start/Run and type WINIPCFG then click on the More Info button.

#5: Launch Find and search your WINDOWS folder for all text files (*.TXT). Among those you'll find are FAQ.TXT, PROGRAMS.TXT, MOUSE.TXT, README.TXT and GENERAL.TXT. These files contain tons of help and trouble-shooting tips for very specific Win95 problems.

#6: Most of us use the Start menu to find ScanDisk, Disk Defragmenter or Backup. But there's a better way. In My Computer, right-click on a drive and select Properties. Click on the Tools tab. Here you'll get information on the last time you performed each operation, with launch buttons for each.

#7: If you get hung up in Windows 95 and the usual ctrl-alt-delete does'nt work, press ctrl-escape. This might bring up the START menu from which you can shut down the system.

#8: This a good shortcut when online and viewing pages. Hold down the Alt key and press the left arrow key on your keyboard to go back one page. Hold the Alt key and right arrow key to go forward one page.

#9: Want to rename a file or folder quickly? Click it and then hit the F2 key and rename it.

#10: Do you want to still use Program Manager that was in Windows 3.1? You can still use it by going to START,RUN and type WINFILE.EXE You can create a shortcut to it and put it on your desktop by going to C:\WINDOWS\WINFILE
