same here. stupid pic...

I was born in the town of Stamford. I thought it was Stanford until I was 23 or so...

Also, I used photoshop everyday for 5 years before I realized I could check "auto-select" and just click on the layer I wanted to work on.

Annoyed with people being different levels in Ventrilo ?
Apply a 'Volume' special effect to them and adjust to suit you

Alt+PrintScrn screenshots the active window only.

I never realised Matt Lucas was gay, apparently, this is something that is obvious

I never knew that until I read your post.

Plenty of shortcuts in different programs could be listed in this thread... Note to self: always check options/preferences -> shortcuts.

Not me exactly, but I know someone who recently discovered that pickles actually come from cucumbers. Took her 23 years to find that out.

It works! :bigeyes2:
I didn't know until now
It would have been a lot more useful if I knew that earlier (i.e.: in Windows XP) actually
Windows 7 has the Snipping Tool already, and I don't think I'm going to remember this Alt+PrintScrn shortcut exists

MS Paint related:
- Ctrl+Click on paint uses 3rd color layer (I think many people know really)
- Click Zoom then click on the last pixel line under "8x" and you'll get 10x zoom.

CTRL + Mousewheel changes the size of browser text (possibly images as well, dependson browser).

Now go and interfere with your colleagues PCs

SHIFT + mousewheel can be used for "Back" and "Forward" in Firefox, possibly other browsers.

I did find that out myself, my knee touchedctrl and i scrolled, took me 4 days to find out how to get it back...

Another nice browser feature, Press F11 in IE or Firefox to toggle full screen mode. Quite useful on small screens (like those netbooks).

I already knew
It's much more annoying to alt + f4 it though (it's REALLY annoying, and usually the person who is using the computer always waits to see what you are going to press on the keyboard instead of blocking your intent to close his window )

if ur using opera or maybe other browsers if u hold right click and the left click u go forward a page and if u hold left click and the right click u go back.

never knew that untill i was bored this morning and i started to fiddle with my mouse.

Found out lately that holding SHIFT down and typing gives you capitals, now I know why Caps Lock is called Caps Lock.

So you mean that since you started using a PC you used Caps Lock to capitalise words?

I open threads in new tabs when I read forums. You can either click with the scroll wheel or ctrl-left click to do so. My scrollwheel button was messed up, so I would be scrolling and ctrl-clicking threads open and I would work to fast and the dang text would get huge because I would accidentally scroll while the ctrl key was still pushed. It was quite annoying.

I know that Shift makes capitalises words since I have a computer, but I never use Shift, I prefer Caps Lock actually I think it's easier and faster for me.
