Little-known/used Windows features?

[Paragon]

Right-click a link and "Open In A New Window" -- priceless.

Been using Windows forever, and I just realized recently I could do this.

3. You can also right click and hit the N key for IE and W for Netscape.

It does the same thing and requires less mouse work.

Also:

Ctrl+n = New browser window
Ctrl+c = Copy highlighted text
Ctrl+v = Paste laste copied item
Ctrl+w = Close browser window
Ctrl+f = find/search
Windows key + d = minimize all windows/open all windows

Netscape only:

Right click, N = open link in new tab in same window (this feature is the coolest)

5. S0 why do they hide this stuff from us?

In the old days, you would at least get some documentation that would tell you what the software would do. Now, you are supposed to find it by what? Osmosis? This kind of crap really pisses me off. Can you imagine having to figure out how to turn on your windshield wipers by guessing?No one would put up with it, yet, we continue to let the Microsoft and the rest of the bunch make operating our computers soooooo complicated that you have to find someone on DU that has learned a "SECRET" to learn what your computer will do. Personally, I think this is unacceptable. Fuck these people! Software should be provided with documentation!
