On Computers

Here are some of our favorite Windows shortcuts:

• Hold down the Windows key (the one with the Windows wavy-flag icon) and tap the letter “E” to instantly go to your computer’s list of drives and folders. Do it twice if you want to drag and drop a file from a folder in one window to a folder in another.
• Hold down the Windows key and the letter “F” to start searching for a file.
• Hold down the Windows key and the letter “M” to minimize all windows.
• On a laptop, hold the “Function” key and tap the right arrow to increase the screen’s brightness.
• Hold the “Function” key and use the up or down arrow to control volume.
