Post simple computer tricks~

The good ol' fake desktop, Hide your mouse, press 'prt scr' (above 'insert') then save image in paint, Right click on desktop > Arrange Icons By > Uncheck show desktop Icons.

Now set that picture you saved in paint as your background, viola. (sp?)

My computer is a few years old, so it is kind of cluttered. Sometimes my page file memory runs up super high (with nothing running), so I have to go to task manager and end explorer.exe. I reload it and all my memory is dumped, the computer runs much faster after that :) I wouldn't recommend it to anyone else though. Here's a pic I happen to have saved:

its a restart command

i think a neat tick is mapping a caps lock key to shirt, preventing those annoying times when you know caps lock on

create a .reg file and put this in it,
Code: 
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Keyboard Layout]
"Scancode Map"=hex:00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,02,00,00,00,2a,00,3a,00,00,00,00,00
then double click, and press yes ;)
