Tips & Tricks
Internet Specific
Consider using an alternative browser to Internet Explorer - it is generally behind the times in features. Firefox and Opera have enabled users to make use of tabbed browsing for a number of version releases before their current 2.0 release. Microsoft has only just enabled this for IE7.
Use tabs instead of new windows - either use the right mouse button when clicking on links (and choose "Open in New Tab") or set the default option to open links in a new tab:
Cycle through tabs in Internet Explorer by holding Ctrl and use the Tab button to cycle through the tabs. If you want to go back to the last tab, hold down Ctrl and Shift and use the Tab button to cycle.
Other Computer Tips
Cycle through all your open progams by holding the Alt key and hitting the Tab key to get to the next program - much easier than having to always use a mouse!
