First Time using new software

Hmm. Expect there's a keyboard shortcut for that. Wonder what it is. Better look it up .. it could come in handy further on down the track. Er ... Help ... keyboard shortcuts .. um ... ah right. CTL + ALT + End + f3. Should be easy enough . If I can just dislocate my, right pinky. Aha! No problem! Good lord, is that the time?

Second Time

Ah yes, there's a keyboard shortcut for that. It's ... er ... CTL + DEL + f3 .. isn't it? No ... maybe that should be ALT or ALT + CTL or ... damn ... have to look it up again. What's the shortcut for Help again?

Third (and all subsequent) Time

I love you, mouse!!!

Addition: As of Windows 8 and onwards you can capture a screenshot without having to paste it on Paint to save it by pressing Windows Key and PrtScr. Smile | :)

I always use it, that information was just outdated otherwise a great resource.

I take it you haven't heard of the snipping tool within Windows?

"Windows + PrintScreen" is nice but it can't possibly replace the snipping tool.

Depends on your needs, of course if you want to edit the image (like draw something over it, highlight a few things) and then save it, snipping tool is for you. But, for ones like me, who want to just save entire screen for a later use (like I had a trouble creating a new Windows Store Developer account, so I saved the screenshots for later use), Win + PrtScr is a great feature in Metro!

But where does it get saved?

Right under the Pictures gallery on your machine, a new folder named "Screenshots" is created that holds the screenshots that are captured by Win + PrtScr.

I usually hate all these "top 10" and "1000 useful things you should know about..." articles, but I reckon this one has some gems.

Hmmm. That #1 doesn't do anything in Chrome 47.0.2503.0 dev-m (64-bit).

[EDIT]

I just tried it at home (Version 45.0.2454.85 m) and it worked perfectly. What the hell do I have on my machine at work? Both say that my version of Chrome is up to date, but they're obviously not the same.

I wonder if 6 would actually work. I know net ninny here is smart enough to block the normal google cache of stuff they don't think I should be browsing.

Edit: Seems not. Looks like only the stupidest filters would be fooled by it, since it embedded the original blocked URL in the translated URL.

Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?
