You have the world at your fingertips. With the ability to search the internet for any and all questions, converse with anyone in the world, acquire all forms of jobs, the possibilities are endless with this wonderful piece of technology. And when you own one, you want to get the most out of it. Here are just a few Windows shortcuts that make life just a little bit easier:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are surfing the web and by a mere fluke, your mouse exits out of a tab you were needing. It can be frustrating, indeed, but <strong>CTRL + SHIFT + T<\/strong> will bring back the tab you accidentally closed. All is well again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Extensions on your browsers are one of the best forms of utilization. Use 1Password to save all of the passwords in one place. You&#8217;ll even have to have a password for this Chrome extension. AdBlockPro is also a great one  to avoid pesky ads. Check out more available entrepreneur-related extensions here:  <br><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fundera.com\/blog\/chrome-extensions\"><em>https:\/\/www.fundera.com\/blog\/chrome-extensions<\/em><\/a>  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Snip And Sketch is a keyboard shortcut, allowing you to highlight what you want to save in the Print Screenshot Mode. <strong>START MENU ICON + SHIFT + S<\/strong> will start it. Then open the Paint application, right click, and paste. Voil\u00e0!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"498\" height=\"527\" src=\"https:\/\/www.karlstechnology.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Untitled-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-332\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.karlstechnology.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Untitled-1.png 498w, https:\/\/www.karlstechnology.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Untitled-1-283x300.png 283w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 498px) 100vw, 498px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>And speaking of &#8220;voil\u00e0&#8221;, you too can find the proper letters for foreign words (shown above). Look up the <strong>Character Map<\/strong> in the <strong>START MENU<\/strong> for foreign letters or symbols. It will also give you the keystroke: ALT+Numberpad on the bottom right corner of its window for quicker access. For example, the \u00e0 is &#8220;<strong>ALT+0228<\/strong>&#8220;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Open the Task Manager by clicking <strong>CTRL + ALT + DELETE<\/strong>. There, it can provide you with information on your memory, performance, open applications, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Would you like to view information about your computer? To get right to it, go your System Settings by using the <strong>START MENU + PAUSE-BREAK<\/strong> shortcut.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Done with work for the day? Quickly lock your computer down with <strong>START MENU + L<\/strong>. This will automatically revert back to the &#8220;sign-in&#8221; screen. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\" \/>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have any questions about getting the most out of your computer or if your computer is having problems, give us a call at\u00a0<a href=\"tel:1-800-620-5285\">1-800-620-5285<\/a>. \u00a0Karls Technology is a nationwide computer service company with offices in many major cities.
