There are various accessories that could help operating a computer easier. The mouse is just an example of an accessory which makes navigation simple with just one click. However, most of these accessories have short ?lifespan? and can be considered disposable. This is when the accessories can become bothersome.
What are you to do, when in the middle of an important document, your mouse decides to ?die?? Would you worry? Would you panic and run to the nearest store? What if it?s night time and the stores are closed and you are rushing up your work?
On your keyboard, immediately press CTRL + S simultaneously to save whatever it is you?re doing. That way, you don?t lose your work. This is a common and one of the most familiar tasks without using the mouse. If the mouse is not functioning and you need to do something important but you don?t have the time to repair the mouse or change it, you can actually still do your work even with just the keyboard around. Here are some key combinations you need to navigate your way through your PC sans the mouse:
Ctrl + O ? to open a file or document
Ctrl + B ? to use the ?Bold? feature of fonts
Ctrl + I ? to italize fonts
Ctrl + U ? to underline texts in a document
Ctrl + X ? to cut texts, cells, or icons from files
Ctrl + W ? to close existing windows
Ctrl + R ? to align document to the right
Ctrl + L ? to align document to the left
Ctrl + E ? to align document to the center (especially in Word Documents)
Ctrl + Z ? to undo last action done in a document
Ctrl + Y ? to redo last action done in a document
Shift F7 ? to prompt the Thesaurus tool in a document
F7 ? to prompt the spelling and grammar check tool in a document
F12 ? or save as, to save same document with another filename or to another drive
Windows + D - shows desktop
Alt + Tab ? switches you from one window to another
F5 ? refreshes your browser when it seems to have stopped moving (when you are using the Internet)
Ctrl + Esc ? prompts the ?Start Menu? when you are using the old 101-key keyboard without the Windows keys on it.
F6 ? enables you to change the URL on the address field when you are using the Internet.
Shift + Tab ? when you need to go back to a previous cell (in a spreadsheet) or entry in a form (in the Internet)
Ctrl + V or Shift + Insert ? to paste copied text to another document
Windows + F ? when you need to find and open a file recently saved
Windows + Pause/Break ? to directly open and view your system properties without going through the control panel windows
Windows + E ? to directly open and view Windows Explorer without going though the Start Menu
Alt + F4 ? to prompt shut down menu
When you get used to using these shortcuts, you will certainly be able to finish the task you are doing even without the mouse. And this ability will make you look like a computer whiz.

Create a Great Computer Work Station in a Small Space
Create a Great Computer Work Station in a Small Space
by: Aldene Fredenburg
Don't have a separate room you can designate as a home office? You can create a comfortable and functional computer work station in remarkably little space. A corner of your living room or bedroom, even a spare closet, can provide plenty of room.
First measure out the amount of space you can allocate for your work station. Then, start to plan. You need a surface for your computer monitor or laptop, and room underneath for your hard drive. If you have a printer and/or a scanner, this also needs a work surface, ideally with storage space underneath for printer paper and other supplies. You may also want space for an additional external backup hard drive. Measure all your equipment and furnishings and play with a floor plan.
If you can find a ready-made work station that fits into your space, great. If not, make one. A 24- to 30-inch core door thrown over a couple...

Starting Your Computer Career:
More Questions To Ask A Tech School Before Writing The Check
by: Chris Bryant, CCIE #12933
If the school offers a placement service, ask to talk to the people working in that department and ask them how they go about placing graduates.
Most schools offer a list of companies that they've placed students with.
Get this list and start calling some of these companies.
Ask to speak to their HR department, and ask them for their opinion of the school.
Even if they don't say a lot, their tone of voice can speak volumes.
Ask to meet some of their teachers, and don't be afraid to ask them how long they've taught at that particular school.
If the average teacher has been there a while, that's a good sign.
If there seems to be quite a bit of turnover at the school, that's not as good a sign.
Another key area is the availability of the computer labs during...

Learning Math and Dosage Calculations Using a Computer Program
by: Sue Peters
Introduction
In nursing particularly, absolute competence is a must as patients? welfare is directly connected to any action or decision that you take. Give the wrong dosage or medication and a patient can be killed. Naturally, this can have devastating consequences so it is absolutely crucial that you take all the precautions in keeping up to date and maintaining your skills.
Dosage calculations are no exception and the reported cases of medication errors on an annual basis is very high. Despite this, many nurses absolutely fear performing calculations of any sort! Why is this? Most likely because the calculations involve a knowledge of maths and maths can be a daunting task - especially if it has been a long time since you studied at school or university.
The reality of the situation however, is not as bleak as it often appears to nurses. To perform dosage...

Optimize Your Computer For Peak Performance
Optimize Your Computer For Peak Performance
by: Lanard Perry
Is your computer running slower than ever? Does it crash a lot?
If so it might be because advertisers have loaded it up with Spy and Adaware without your knowledge.
"Spyware" is a common term for files that are installed on your system that allow companies to monitor your Internet activity.
"Adaware" is software that will show you pop up ads over and over. These files can be extremely dangerous to your PC and could cause major problems.
They track the websites you visit, items that you buy online, the emails you send and your Instant Message dialogues. In a worst case scenario they can even record your credit card number, personal identification numbers, and all of your passwords.
I know all of this because I learned the hard way. Fortunately, I never had any personal data stolen, at least that I?m aware of. But every now and then, when least expected,...
