PC Screen display

[pete]

I've been using PC's since the Tablet really was made of stone ...


Yet I've ONLY discovered (by accident) that you can instantly change screen display size by Ctrl & mouse wheel. ........


Have I been living under some kind of blanket for the past 25 years?

.... ...!

They are called; "Eureka Moments"!... [smiley=2vrolijk_08.gif]...!

Its only recently that I discovered it is possible to pop in and out of the Flight Sim, and other programs, (full screen mode), without shutting it down, just by pressing the "Windows Key"!

Then returning back to the program by clicking on it in the Task Bar!

Very handy for doing modifications whilst the program is running...(FS Panel Studio, etc)!

The computer is full of hidden wonders, waiting to be discovered.. ...!

I didn't know that either, I'm glad I do now so I don't do it my accident.

Here's another one you may not know about...under your scroll wheel is a third button. Push it down to click it, then move your mouse up or down. Wheelless scrolling. (clicking any button on the mouse cancels it) I, like you, only, discovered that one a short time ago.

Nice tip! Much faster than mouse wheeling up & down pages ...  8-)

Plus I learned from the WoT forums that you can press alt+enter to make the full screen minimize down to have the screen so you can see the desktop.

I know on some machines it's ctrl+alt+arrow key in the direction you want to turn the screen.  I frequently flip my coworkers screens if they leave their machine unattended and unlocked.

F11 is handy to. I just heard about it a year and a half ago.

and how the helll did she turn it upside down.

After much exploration of her computer, I discovered her video card had options such as "Display Orientation", and that the right amount of random clicks and key presses (from bumping the mouse and keyboard with stuff), could change said setting.  Of course I had to figure out all of this while standing on my head.

I only didn't know about the ctrl+roll wheel. Thanks!
The rest I knew from various accidents that happened when I was still a newbie in the computer world. The windows key however I found out when I got my first USB keyboard which had that key, unlike the previous one, and I tried it out.

I found the CTRL mouse wheel by accident a couple of weeks ago. I don't know how old that function is, but I converted to a PC in...............1993
