  3. Hi there,

    Nice article it really sums many shrotcuts.

    Here is a small question: In Windows Explorer after you set the view to Details, which shortcut will sort the list by Name or by Size or by Type?

    ** maybe i missed it but i didn’t see this shortcut in the article: While in this view type you can hit Ctrl+’+’ will auto expand the columns to fit all text.

  5. since I am not computer literate, I’m trying to learn what the ‘F’ keys are. Could you send me something I can print so they are readily available for me?? Don’t know how to use any of them, nor what they are for.
    Thanks
