Windows Tip: Switching Windows fast and easy
By Rob Kall
have a lot of windows open and want to switch fast, between two windows? Here's how.
::::::::
I love it when, after all the years I've been using computers, I learn a basic new shortcut. Here's one I can't imagine doing without, that I've seen many people don't know. I often run a lot of windows at once-- even 50, 60, 80 windows. If you use the toolbar, connected to the start button at the bottom or side of your screen (wherever you've put it) and you have, say 33 firefox or internet explorer windows open, like I do now, it can be a pain to go from one window to the next. Or let's say you are on an internet site and want to selectively copy some information from parts of one web page or from several web pages, to one MS WORD or text file page. It could be a real hassle to switch back and forth if you have to use the icons on the open windows tool bar. There's an easier way. Press on the "alt" key, and then, gently tap the tab key. If you let go of both keys, you'll return to the window you were on before the current page. Once you get in the habit, this is a really fast, handy way to switch between two open windows. If you continue to hold down the "alt" key, you'll see, at the bottom of the dialogue box that appears, the text which describes the next page icon that appears along with about 20 of the previous pages you've been on. You can tab from one to the next to more easily see the contents of the other windows you have open. Enjoy.Rob Kall is an award winning journalist, inventor, software architect,

more detailed bio:
Rob Kall has spent his adult life as an awakener and empowerer-- first in the field of biofeedback, inventing products, developing software and a music recording label, MuPsych, within the company he founded in 1978-- Futurehealth, and founding, organizing and running 3 conferences: Winter Brain, on Neurofeedback and consciousness, Optimal Functioning and Positive Psychology (a pioneer in the field of Positive Psychology, first presenting workshops on it in 1985) and Storycon Summit Meeting on the Art Science and Application of Story-- each the first of their kind. Then, when he found the process of raising people's consciousness and empowering them to take more control of their lives one person at a time was too slow, he founded Opednews.com-- which has been the top search result on Google for the terms liberal news and progressive opinion for several years. Rob began his Bottom-up Radio show, broadcast on WNJC 1360 AM to Metro Philly, also available on iTunes, covering the transition of our culture, business and world from predominantly Top-down (hierarchical, centralized, authoritarian, patriarchal, big) to bottom-up (egalitarian, local, interdependent, grassroots, archetypal feminine and small.) Recent long-term projects include a book, Bottom-up-- The Connection Revolution, debillionairizing the planet and the Psychopathy Defense and Optimization Project.
