Just came across this page on the Microsoft Windows site called “20 PC Shortcuts You Need to Know”. I thought I knew every keyboard shortcut there was but I actually learned a few new ones after reading this.

Why are people still NOT backing up their digital data?
To me, most people seem to think running a backup on their machine is an option instead of a necessity. Over the past two weeks, I’ve personally helped two people recover from complete system failures or hard drive crashes and another lost her entire Itunes music library. In all three cases, none of them had a backed up and their digital data.
All the Windows7 Shortcuts you will ever need!
Another great tip from Tekzilla and from a really great site; 7tutorials.com. They’ve complied an entire library of shortcuts to almost anything you can imagine.

Windows 7 Sticky Notes is the digital version of Post-it Notes. It’s installed by default and as part of the Windows 7 accessories package.
Windows 7 hidden treasures: Problem Steps Recorder
The “Problem Steps Recorder” or PSR is one of those little free programs that should of been in every version of Windows since 3.1. Unfortunately, it only comes with Windows 7. The PSR in short could save you some pain when troubleshooting problems and is worth spending time to learn how to use it.
Windows 7 hidden treasures: Windows Disk Image Burner
Windows 7 has new and built-in software tools or accessories that make the whole computer easier to use. This first hidden treasure I actually use quite a lot at the office when I need to burn an ISO image to DVD: Windows Disk Image Burner.
Google Chrome 4.0 is finally here
After what seems to be a very long wait, Google Chrome 4.0 was released this week. For the first time since Firefox came along, Chrome is a legitimate third alternative to Internet Explorer. The main reason is because Chrome can now be extended with third-party applets called “extensions” just like Firefox “add-ons”.
Useful webapp of the week #8: Alternative.net
Have you ever needed a specific software installed but couldn’t afford the cost of the software license and wished you had another choice? Or, have you ever wondered if there was an alternative or replacement for a piece of software that was no longer available or was to old to run on your current system? Try using Alternativeto.net to find “alternatives”; Open Source, freeware or shareware, that do the same or close to the same thing as the expensive and popular ones.
Useful webapp of the week #7: Evernote
Starting with this post, I am making a slight change in the title of this weekly post. It’s a small change from “website” to “webapp”. The basic reason is that is that I believe that most websites that are really useful or make life easier in some way, are a lot more than just good web design. They are more like functional web based applications. This is especially true of my favorite webapp to date: Evernote.
Useful website of the week #6: Xmarks.com
This weeks “useful website” is more than just a website, its more like a “web-tool” or “internet tool”. Xmarks.com is where you can get the Xmarks add-on that will synchronize your bookmarks/favorites across the same computer or multiple computers.
