643540 2008-02-25 23:58:00 The key that looks like this (en.wikipedia.org)

Between ctrl and alt. On the keyboard. This key may also be on the other side, beside alt and Ctrl

Press that and r.

If that key isnt there, you'll have to buy a keyboard, with one on it.

Windows key, On Most keyboards its the Left Hand side second key in on A Standard keyboard - Maybe third on A Laptop then the r key.

Right between the E and T

643547 2008-03-01 22:32:00 After two years I've just (very accidently) found that the wheel on my HP mouse has a function when clicked down. I'm like a kid with a new toy today. bellbird (6169)

Very handy too if you use Firefox or Opera. Middle-click links to open them in new tabs (in the background to check later once they're loaded) and middle-click tabs to close them. I use it quite a bit with winroll (www.palma.com.au) as well, changing window opacitys and minimizing to tray, etc.
