If you add alot of shortcuts and folders to your Start Menu, an arrow will appear at the top so that you can scroll up to the entries that don't fit your screen. To minimize them(make them smaller) and avoid all that scrolling...make your entire Start menu smaller. Right-Click a blank area of the Task Bar and select "Properties", then select "Show Small Icons On Start Menu", then click OK. That's it.Now you can see what you want to select at a glance!!

Have you ever been browsing the Internet/Web in an Explorer Window, and decide that you want to look at something on your Hard Drive? Do you drop your Window and click your way there? You can, if you like to do things the long way around. This tip is the best route (in my humble opinion)...try this: Select Go, My Computer (or press Alt-G,C), and there is your local drive(s). Now you can find your way to the folder you want/need, as you would inside any Explorer Window.

(X-tra Tip: To jump directly to a folder other than My Computer, type the folder's path on Internet Explorer's Address bar, then press Enter.)

As you may know (or not), you can minimize any open Window by pressing Alt-Spacebar-N. But...what if you prefer to use your mouse? Or your hand is already on the mouse? Well...then Right-Click the taskbar item of the Window you want to minimize and select Minimize. To me..it's alot easier than reaching up to that caption button
(in the top-right corner of that Window).
