5 More Keyboard Shortcuts in Windows 7 That You May Like

Keyboard shortcuts are very useful. It seems that it never feels enough to learn more of them.5 keyboard shortcuts.5 More Keyboard Shortcuts in Windows 7 That You May Like

Windows Key + B

It’s similar to move your cursor over to the system tray, start with that up arrow that hides all the running icons.

Then, pressing Space/Enter key shows up the all hidden running program icons.

It may not be that useful but it does if you don’t have the mouse in control to move your cursor around the desktop.

Windows Key + Pause/Break Key

It opens up System Property window like below, which is equivalent to Right-click My Computer and choose Properties.



This is actually new to me. Because I am opening this system property window quite often throughout my day it’s going to benefit me quite a bit.

Ctrl + Shift + Esc

It opens up Windows Task Manager like below, which I normally use Ctrl+Alt+Shift and Task manager to open it. This is another time saving trick for me, hopefully to you too.

Alt + Space

It opens up the windows system menu, a menu that lets you control the basic windows behavior, like minimize, maximize, move, resize, and close. It doesn’t seem to be that useful in Windows 7 but again it might be a life saver when you don’t have the control to your mouse.

The old school F3 key

When no window was open, pressing F3 key brings up Windows Search window with the cursor automatically focuses on the search textbox.



When you are in any applications that have search function, pressing F3 brings up the search box of the application you are in at the moment. For example, if you are browsing this website in Internet Explorer, pressing F3 would opens up the Find toolbar right at the top of the page.

How to improve Internet browsing speed and reliability

The Internet, rather like many of the world's large and wonderful cities, is a wonderful place to spend time in -- unless you're stuck in traffic. Luckily, there are a few things you can do to stop your browsing experience becoming slower than a hedgehog wading through treacle.

To start off, it helps to understand just what slows you down in the first place. There is a misconception that your Internet connection needs oodles of megabits per second (Mbps) to browse websites quickly. It doesn't -- despite modern websites being more complex than ever, with Flash, HTML5 and other plug-ins generally increasing site loading times, a downstream connection speed of 1-2Mbps is sufficient for smooth, quick browsing.

More important is the quality and stability of your connection. It's possible for your router to lose connection to your ISP (known as packet loss) many times in a minute without you even noticing. You don't see the disconnection because the router reconnects in time to prevent a 'page not found' error -- a 404. It just takes much longer to load the page.

This guide will start off showing you how to run a quick stability check, before looking at finding the quickest DNS servers with a program called namebench.

Checking the stability of your connection

Connecting your computer to your router via an Ethernet cable will rule out any inconsistencies you may face being on a wireless connection.

Windows

1. Click on Start and type 'CMD' (without the apostrophes) into the search bar. Click on the CMD icon in the programs list. Type in the black box 'ping –t google.co.uk' and hit enter. This will run a continuous ping to Google and back. Any latency (shown next to time=) averaging less than 30ms is generally regarded as a quality connection. When looking for a stable connection, we want to see something like this, with no time outs between the pings.



2. This is what you don't want to see. 'Request timed out' means something is interrupting the communication between your router and Google -- it could be disconnections on your line. If you get this, give your ISP's technical helpdesk a call and ask them to check the line for disconnections -- they could be slowing down your Internet speed considerably.



Mac OS X

1. Go into Applications > Utilities > Network Utility. Click on Ping and type google.co.uk under 'Enter the network address to ping'. Keep the radio button on 'Send an unlimited number of pings' and click Ping. This is an example of a stable connection:



2. Again, this is an example of possible disconnections. If you get this on your Mac it would be worth calling your ISP's technical help desk to check it out.

Using namebench to find your fastest DNS server

When you go on the Internet, by default, your computer will use a set of Domain Name Server (DNS) records to connect to the Internet. Sometimes they're the fastest ones available, but often they aren't. We're going to use the free program namebench to search for the quickest DNS records available -- click here for Windows and here for the Mac version.

1. Run namebench and make sure everything is set to the ones shown in the picture below, bar the Query Data Source option -- you can switch that to the browser of your choice. Click Start Benchmark. The benchmark needs to run an initial check before searching for servers, so it's normal for the process to take at least a couple of minutes.



2. When the benchmark finishes, you'll be presented with a results screen in your browser. If it tells you that you already have the fastest DNS servers, you can either try running the benchmark again (just to make sure) or change the browser -- one DNS isn't necessarily the fastest for all browsers. If the benchmark reports that it's found a faster set of DNS servers you should see something like the following picture. Make a note of the Primary and Secondary servers.

Changing your DNS servers on Windows

1. If you're using Windows, click on Start, type Network into the search box and click on Network at the top of the window under Programs. Click Network and Sharing Center. Click Change adapter settings on the left-hand side. If you access the Internet by plugging an Ethernet cable from your router into your computer, right click on Local Area Connection and left click on Properties. If you're on a wireless connection, right click on the Wireless Network Connection icon and left click Properties.



2. Click on Internet Protocol Version 4 and click on Properties.



3. In the lower half of the screen, put the radio button into Use the following DNS server addresses. Enter the figures that you noted down earlier from the namebench benchmark (not necessarily the ones in the picture below). Click OK. Give your browser a test drive -- you should notice the difference immediately, although this will vary in accordance to how much 'faster' the benchmark DNS servers were.

Changing your DNS servers on a Mac

1. Click on the Apple logo on your Mac's menu bar and click on System Preferences. Click Network. Click on the network adaptor that your computer connects to the Internet with in the left hand menu and then click Advanced in the bottom right hand corner.



2. Click on DNS, click on one of the numbers under DNS Servers on the left hand side of the window and then click on the minus symbol to the left of 'Ipv4 or Ipv6 addresses'. That will get rid of the DNS server -- repeat the action to get rid of the other one. Click on the plus symbol next to the minus one and enter the Primary DNS number that you noted down earlier. Click on the plus symbol again and enter the Secondary DNS number that you also noted down earlier. Click OK.



3. Give your browser a test drive and see if you can notice the difference.

Which browser is the quickest?

A few years ago, we gave a few browsers a test drive and found Google's Chrome browser to be the quickest. If you Google 'What is the quickest browser?' the general consensus on the Internet is that Chrome is still generally the best for speed overall.

It's not always the case though -- legitreviews.com conducted several tests with a range of browsers back in May, and found different browsers rendered different aspects of the web quicker than others. If you're not keen on Chrome, most of them are free, so see what the other browsers have to offer. Safari, naturally, looks great on a Mac. Firefox has a huge range of plug-ins and a neat sidebar for bookmarks and Opera ranks among the best-looking browsers for Windows.

Creating Multiboot CDs

Many people have expressed an interest in creating a multi-boot CD or USB stick. SARDU (Shardana Antivirus Rescue Utility) is a program that creates multiboot cd’s and usb sticks. Basically you download the ISO’s of bootable cd’s you want from this list that are supported by SARDU, then you download SARDU. When you extract SARDU there is an empty folder called ISO’s and you put the iso’s you download into that folder. When you run SARDU, it will find all the ISO’s that you downloaded and stuck in the folder, and offer to build you a cd or usb stick.

You can download SARDU Here.

ProcDump – Analyze CPU Spikes

ProcDump is a command-line utility that allows the technician to analyze and diagnose CPU spikes and hanging services. ProcDump also includes hung window and unhandled exception monitoring. The program will write a customized crash dump (.dmp file) based on the technician’s entered parameters. A great feature about ProcDump is that you can automatically set a specific CPU threshold for a process to hit before the program writes a dump file. This means that the program can run unattended and create a dump file at the exact time it causes problems or an abnormal spike.



Here’s an example: you notice on a client’s computer that the explorer.exe process spikes the CPU to 90 percent at random times throughout the day, and you’d like to create a few dumps to analyze the problem. Instead of sitting at the computer with task manager open waiting to see a CPU spike, you can enter the following command to create a dump file at three separate times when the CPU for explorer.exe is at or exceeds 90 percent, and then write the dump files to the c:\procdumps directory:

c:\procdump.exe -c 90 -n 3 explorer.exe c:\procdumps

The -c switch is the CPU threshold parameter. The -n switch tells ProcDump how many dump files to create.

You can get more granular in your parameter settings by adding how long a process spikes the CPU before creating a dump file. Example:

c:\procdump.exe -c 90 -s 5 -n 3 explorer.exe c:\procdumps

The -s switch tells ProcDump the length of time the service needs to spike the CPU at the threshold you configured before a dump is created.

Other interesting parameters include “-u” that treats CPU usage relative to a single core, and “-w” which will wait for a specific process to launch if it’s not running.
