Copy and Paste:Copying and pasting is easy. You can copy and paste just about anything you want: text, web pages, files, pictures, you name it. The idea behind the process is to take information from one place and drop it in another. For example, lets say you're working in a word processing application and need to copy and paste a section of your document into an e-mail. Here's how: 1. First, you'll need to select the text you wish to copy. You do this by putting your mouse cursor at the first character you want to copy and, holding down the left mouse button, drag the cursor to the last character you need copied. As you drag, you'll notice everything gets highlighted (selected). 2. Next, right-click the selected area. Choose Copy from the menu that pops up (or use the keyboard shortcut CTRL-C, if you like). 3. Finally, right-click the area in your e-mail document where you would like to insert the word processor text. Click Paste from the menu that pops up (CTRL-V is the keyboard shortcut here). That's all. The steps are basically the same for any copy and paste procedure you need to do.

Open Links in New Windows Quicker
This is an Internet Explorer 6
keyboard shortcut for opening webpage links in new browser windows.
You may know that to open a link on a web page in a new browser window,
you can just right-click the link and choose "Open in New Window" on the
pop-up box that appears. There's an easier way to do the same thing. Just
hold the SHIFT key down while left-clicking the link.

Easy Scrolling: Here's a quick little trick with MS Internet Explorer's Scroll bar. Most of us actually grab the scroll bar when we go to scroll down the length of a web page. Another way is to right-click the scrollbar. A little menu will pop up that's full of scrolling options. Give it a try. It's kind of fun.
