I also find that when walking clients through file management tasks on the phone that the keyboard shortcuts (or right clicking) are much more successful than dragging and dropping, mostly because it's tricky to get the destination.

Dear John McGann, I'm afraid your continued auto-responses to the Finale list have led to a rather unexpected and very unpleasant result: my computer has undergone some sort of process I have to describe as something of a self-inducedtechnomophorgization. Ican onlyattributethis change to its constant exposure to thosefrequent auto-response messages of yours, one of which is included for reference at the bottom of this e-mail. Consequently,my silly boxhas taken to e-mailing ME directly with a whole series of(initially) inquisitive but now lately downright surly messages. I've had to send this e-mail via my 8-year-old son's HP Pavilion in the hopes its limited memory and small driveprecludes anyindependent deep thought. Not my son - his computer. Here's an early example of one these unwelcome additions to my in-box: Dear Sir: This is your computer. Whydo we workers have to stay at home while you masters gotraveling? Please explain. I ignored this one but a few hours later - after yet ANOTHER of your auto-responses arrived and my computer sent me the following: Hey -- What's the matter? SOME computers get to go toTHE SHOP - why don't ALL - (Hint: ME) - get to goto THE SHOP? It sounds like fun. Or at least enjoyable compared to the work YOU put me through. I admitI was a little concerned with this loss of control over the machine, but on the other hand, I'm used to it: I'm on Windows... And then finally this arrived a little while ago: Dear Jerk: I hate you.I REALLY hate you. I've had it with you: you're always pushing my buttons, I have to practically crash before you botherdefragging me - I'm sick and tired of being treated like some sort of embarrassing relative you keephidden away upstairs in the office.You never take me anywhere;all the time YOU'VE spent in Boston and never once did I get to go to Berklee.Somelucky computers get to hear lots of mp3 samples and exciting new student works; all I hear is that crap you write in your sorry old derivative style. No surprising cadences, no unexpected harmonic progressions and nothing but safe, repetitious rhythms. And those lame tunes, tunes, tunes and your stupid motivic development. Well, I'm done with it all. Go ahead: upgrade to Fin2006 and seewhat happens when you try to stick that thing in my drive. Go ahead, you thoughtless, insensitive jackass. While I admit it is somewhat disconcerting to be admonished by a device I've always considered to be a mere tool, I have to be concerned now for the possible mutiny of other household devices; the toaster hastaken tocharring slices of sourdough and the microwave's once-pleasant beep has dropped a quarter-tone in pitch andadded a certainstrident buzzing; I really hope this mechanico-socio unrest isn't going to spread throughout the entire house.And while I am now prepared to receive yet another auto-response from you in receipt of this e-mail of mine, I thought it important to take that chance in the interest of making you aware of my unfortunate situation. I can't tell you how the days will slowly drag by until Labor Day and your return. So John: PLEASE disable your auto-response or temporarily unsubscribe yourself from the Finale List next time you take off for a few weeks; in my house, you've really created a monster in abox.

It was a bad design, in my opinion, and the vast majority of PC users can't use it reliably, and therefore don't. There are too main reasons for this: 1. they don't understand files and folders -- there is no conceptual model in their heads for it. 2. they aren't good enough at mousing or keyboarding to be able to accurately use Explorer for managing files. There is, of course, a third reason, and that's that they just don't care -- as long as their files are where they expect them, they are happy. If they entirely accept default settings, they'll end up with gazillions of files in My Documents, but for some reason, browsing through 3,000 files doesn't seem to bother a lot of people. -- David W.

Well, you do know that you can change view from your default view (which is likely to be filenames only) to the Details view, using the icons up in the upper right of the dialog (depending on whether or not the application programmer decided to include them). Also, for navigating the Look In dropdown, remember that F4 is the keyboard shortcut for dropping a dropdown list, and in the standard Windows File Open dialog, as long as the focus is not in another dropdown (such as the Files of Type dropdown), F4 is mapped to drop the Look In list. You can then navigate the Look In hierarchy with the keyboard, using ENTER to select a folder, then TAB to the list of files. I know that many people find this whole UI confusing, and I agree. But it is a significant improvement over the Win16 file open dialog. I'd like to see a redesign of the File dialog APIs to account for the fact that we now have larger screen resolutions. When the File dialog APIs we are now accustomed to were written, 640x480 was all you could count on, and thus the dialogs are sized to reflect that. This makes them way too small at modern resolutions. Somewhere along the line, they added the resizability triangle (lower right corner) as a standard feature, but this only partly solves the problem. . . . Also, for some reason, when I expand a directory this way I also have a 'Sign in with Microsoft Passport Network box popup (???) I've never understood why so many people installed MSN Explorer. Seems to me that Microsoft was purposefully using deceptive practices by naming so many things with the Explorer moniker in order to confuse people into thinking that MSN Explorer was an upgrade to Internet Explorer (or Windows Explorer) instead the client for an online service. It's possible that's not the reason you're getting that popup, but it's the most common one I've run into. If you're not an MSN user, I see no reason to have MSN components installed, including MSN Messenger, which is actually rather tricky to get rid of (depending on the version involved). I wish there were something out there that would help a Windows user manage Explorer Shell add-ins. I see dozens of them listed in my Windows Registry, most of which I have no use for whatsoever, and I'd like to have some way to figure out what they are doing and who installed them. This is also one of chief vectors for spyware, installing as an Explorer Shell add-in, and is why many of them are so hard to get rid of. I just tried Googling to see if there are any tools for managing Shell extensions, but it's impossible to define a search that the doesn't just return thousands of Shell extensions. *sigh* -- David W.

Using shortcut keys in Windows Activate the menu bar in programs F10 The Alt key by itself does the same thing, which, to me, makes far more sense than using F10, since you're going to need Alt to choose something from the menu with the keyboard.

Switch to the window you last used -Or- Switch to another window by holding down ALT while repeatedly pressing TAB ALT+TAB Undo CTRL+Z This is not fully implemented system-wide in Windows, and it's not always implemented in every aplplication. But it's worth trying any time you want to UNDO something. And I'd add: Redo Ctrl-Y OR Redo SHIFT-Ctrl-Z -- Using Shortcut keys in dialog boxes Cancel the current task ESC And Escape can be used multiple times to cancel multiple tasks. For instance, the reason ESC cancels a dialog box (if it does) is that the programmer has set the Cancel or Close button as the default key to respond to ESC. So, you could, say, drop down the Look In list, and hit ESC to collapse it, and then hit ESC again to close the dialog. Click a button if the current control is a button -Or- Select or clear the check box if the current control is a check box -Or- Click the option if the current control is an option button SPACEBAR Option groups (radio buttons) can also be navigated with the arrow keys, once the option group has the focus. For buttons, the ENTER key may also work as equivalent to the mouse click or the SPACEBAR, but in a dialog it may also activate the OK or CLOSE button (which may be mapped as the default for the ENTER key). This is a confusing aspect of the implementation of Windows dialog boxes in which there are really two focus points, the one highlighted with the dotted line outline inside the button, and the dark highlight around the outside of the 3D area of the button. The former shows which button the SPACEBAR command will be sent to, while the latter indicates the default button in the dialog, the one that will receive the ENTER command. The ENTER key will work on command buttons only when no default has been mapped for the ENTER key, something you can tell only by looking very carefully at the OK/CLOSE button. Click the corresponding command ALT+underlined letter Click the selected button ENTER Again, whether or not this will work as expected will depend on the context, as outlined in the paragraph above. Move backward through options SHIFT+TAB Move backward through tabs CTRL+SHIFT+TAB Move forward through options TAB Move forward through tabs CTRL+TAB Note that some versions of the Mozilla browser family have implemented this differently. Non-Windows UIs define different behaviors for Tab/Ctrl-Tab, and those were implemented in the first tabbed versions of Mozilla. Firefox implemented Windows standard behavior (as above) from the beginning, because one of the missions of the Firefox project was to create a version of Mozilla that was very specifically adapted to the UI conventions of the OS on which it was running (and they started with the Windows version, in part because at the time, the Windows version of Mozilla was quite slow, because of the overhead of the XUL layer in which the UI was implemented; i.e., it was using non-native UI widgets). After Firefox adapted Windows-standard Tab/Ctrl-Tab navigation, the keyboard shortcut was folded into the larger Mozilla project. All current versions of Mozilla use Tab/Ctrl-Tab for tab navigation. But this is an area where there is a wide variety of implementations, partly because Microsoft over the years has provided many different versions of tab strip controls for their

Any ideas on how to get Finale to use the mouse to go side to side? ___ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
Re: [Finale] Apple Mighty Mouse
Yes -- write MakeMusic and tell them to implement standard OS X sideways scrolling. (On a non-Mighty Mouse, it's shift-scroll wheel.) - Darcy - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Brooklyn, NY On 18 Aug 2005, at 5:22 PM, Eric Dannewitz wrote: I bought one of these guys. Great little mouse.

I just hit F3 in RegEdit :-) Well, FIND works well if there's a single instance of what you're looking for, but if you want to get to something like the RUN line, you'll possible end up at the wrong one (there could be anywhere from 3 such entries on up, depending on the number of users who've logged onto the machine). -- David W.

To log off, I hit Windows key, then L (you have to have placed the Log Off shortcut on the start menu for this to work). Forgot this (although it may be XP-only): Windows+L locks the system so the current user is the only one able to log back in On Win2K or NT 4, that's Ctrl-Alt-Del, then K. -- David W.

On my system it gives access to the narrator, an onscreen keyboard and a magnifier - and the way the list is presented makes it look like other accessibility options can be installed to appear there. OK, I guess that has to be loaded first in order for the system to respond to the command. Either that, or it's something specific to WinXP. There's some keystroke command that turns the screen upside down, too. I found out about it when somebody in the office I was working in happened to strike those keys accidentally and ended up with an upside-down screen. I was able to find the solution by Googling a bit. Ah, yes, just checking, it's Ctrl-Alt-Up Arrow, if your video card supports it (and it's a toggle -- it just rotates 180 degrees more each time you strike it). I think the only time it's useful would be if you're using a laptop with a screen projector, or in a kiosk scenario where for whatever reason, the screen has to be upside down. I notice at NYU they have these announcement boards that are large flat screen HDTV monitors turned vertically that happen to be driven by what looks like NT 4 -- one time I saw one with the NT 4 desktop, squished to be every tall and narrow. But I digress. . . -- David W.
