Helpful PC Hints

Here are some essential tips for working with your PC. Keeping your PC in good working order prolongs its life and prevents you from losing important data.



  • The Help key in Windows and in most other programs is F1.



  • Always save your stuff. Save when you first create something, save as you go along, save when you stand up to take a break, and save before you quit your programs.



  • Delete only the files or folders that you created yourself.



  • You can delete a shortcut file; doing so doesn’t delete the original.



  • When you mess up, immediately press Ctrl+Z, the Undo keyboard command. That should rectify whatever transgression you just committed.



  • Always unplug the computer console before you open it.



  • You can connect and disconnect USB devices to and from the computer while the computer or the device is on.



  • Get used to working with the mouse by playing computer games, especially card games.



  • The best gift you can buy your PC is more memory.



  • Remember to properly eject and safely remove any removable media in Windows; don’t just yank something out of your PC.



  • The key to understanding software is to know what a file is.



  • When e-mailing a graphical image, be sure to save or convert the image into either the JPG or PNG file format.
