Re: [Audyssey] right windows key, application key, or what?
Heck, you don't need a special key to lock up your windows computer smile. Windows will happily do that on its own. Although, I do have to give Windows 2000 credit. In my opinion, it has been the most stable OS to date. In many ways, even more so than XP. Trouble is a lot of apps are starting to only work with XP and on, so this unfortunately forces users to upgrade. I also feel that we should start steering back to gaming topics smile. All the best. -- Raul A. Gallegos ... IliwSsmc ___ Gamers mailing list ..

not lock up your system and make it crash lol, no, lock computer locks your computer on the user so that you have to enter your password to unlock it. in other words, it looks like a logon screen, but you are still on the same user, only you or the computer administrator user can unlock it. hth. regards, damien - Original Message - From: Richard Sherman [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Gamers Discussion list gamers@audyssey.org Sent: Thursday, December 21, 2006 1:24 AM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] right windows key, application key, or what?

Re: [Audyssey] right windows key, application key, or what?
Hi Raul and all, The key in question is most often called the context key and often is the application key. By no means is it a right windows key as my keyboard has two Window keys a left one and a right one. As for calling the Windows key a start menu key that again wouldn't be practical as the key has many more functions than just the start menu. Some examples is Windows-d to go to the desktop, Windows-r for the run dialog, Windows-m to minimize all Windows, Windows-Tab for the taskbar, Windows-E for Windows Explorer, and many more I can't even begin to list. Bottomline the context key or application key if you want to call it that is not a Windows key. Smile. ___ Gamers mailing list ..

We call the left windows the start button key since that is essencially what it does, and the right windows key the context-menu key since that is what it brings up? What do you say? Nah, you are a busy person, LOL. Thanks in any case. * Cara Quinn [EMAIL PROTECTED] [2006-12-19 06:11]: I believe that method should work regardless of whether extensions are showing, but thanks for the note. smile As far as the right windows key, I certainly don't want to cause any confusion, but most people I know, call that key the right windows key, rather than the applications key, and the other, the left windows key, so effectively, some keyboards would have two left windows keys on them. smile Am certainly not saying that you're wrong, and it may be a matter of people simply using an incorrect name for a key, no biggie. The only place I've ever heard that key called an applications key is in context of a screen reader, so perhaps that's correct. Anyway, thanks for the note and have an awesome day!...

Re: [Audyssey] right windows key, application key, or what?
Hi Dark, I don't know of any official list of them, but here are a couple more I use to add to the list I already gave. Windows-f brings up the Windows find dialog, and Windows-h brings up the Windows help system. Oh yeah, and Windows-b will drop you right on the system tray no matter where you are. The Windows key shortcuts are super invaluable when you learn them you wonder how you did without. Why got to start and run when Windows-r from anywhere will take you there. Why go tot the start menu to run find when Windows-f from anywhere will open the dialog to run the find. If you want to land square on your taskbar no matter where you are Windows-tab and you are instantly taken there. BTW. I might add I amd doing this using Windows XP SP2. If you are using something else besides XP you will have to check and see if your Windows version supports those keys. I know some of them have been around since 95/98, and some are newer.
