Want a document or pic to show up at the top before an alphabetical list the list? Put an underscore "_" symbol in front. Want it to be at the very top? Put two or three underscore symbols in front.

Are you on a website and want to go to the home page? Just click the logo of the company or organization. Most websites offer this feature.

Want to get to your desktop screen quickly on a PC? Click on the little box in the bottom right corner. (Does this also work for Mac)

Whenever charging devices like phones, cameras, tablets, etc, make sure the other end of the cord is plugged into the wall.

It helps, trust me.

Windows+E - opens file explorer
Alt+D - takes you to address bar of current browser window
Alt+Tab - tab through open windwos
Windows key - opens start menu - start typing name of program you want to open then enter to open it

Don't crowd your desk with 3 monitors and leave one precariously perched on the edge with multiple cords wrapped around it...

or do, if you'd like to get a replacement monitor.

Don't trip over the power cord to your HDD dock - especially if you are in a room that doesn't have lots of padding.....

Use a non-Admin group user account for any time you are on-line.
