Good post! Keyboard Shotcut to switch tabs is actually an operating system specific thing. Like I keep switching between my Macbook, Netbook *running Ubuntu Natty* and Windows 7 on my desk, and keyboard shortcuts keep changes. It’s a bit PITA you know!

repost to correct typo. It’s not working on my xp machine.

Just discovered your site. It’s great. Thanks for your efforts.

10) Checking Windows activation status – Run slmgr.vbs –dlv

Is this applicable for Win XP sp3? It’s not working on my xp machine. A search for slmgr turned up nothing.

5) Copy and paste text in command prompt (cmd).

You can do this way faster, if you right-click the top of the window, go to defaults, check “QuickEdit Mode”.

- To copy text from the cmd window: just highlight the text and right-click on it. It is now copied, and you can paste it in another program.
- To paste text into the window: copy text from somewhere else, then just right-click in the window to paste it.

I have to say this one is too good because when you are on a browser you can have like 2 or 3 browsers in one page which i like because you don’t have to open a new browser everytime.
