One of the best yet 'hidden' features of Win2k/XP are the "Shortcut keys". From Winamp to Microsoft Word, you can open the programs you need now, with a few clicks of the keyboard.<BR><BR>What I like to do is right click on the shortcut icon in the Start Menu. Inside the box which will drop down you will find a "Shortcut key:" box. To use the Shortcut keys, simply press any character key on your keyboard and you'll see "CTRL + ALT" pop up next to that character. Press the "OK" button and then press that Shortcut key combination at the same time and the programs will now load!<BR><BR>I haven't used Win9x/ME in a long time, so I'm not sure if this is 100% compatible with those two operating systems.<BR>
