[15:30] Windows Tip o' The Day
At work today I accidentally pressed Windows Key+B. The Start Bar popped up, as it is wont to do when the Winkey is pressed, but I noticed that one of the system tray icons was highlighted. Further investigation shows that Windows Key+B will actually make the system tray active! You can move the highlight from icon to icon with the arrow keys and hitting enter will kick off the default action for that icon. I don't know if this is Windows XP only - it hasn't worked on the one Windows 2000 machine I've tested it on - but I'm excited anyway; I love not having to use the mouse for stuff!
As ususal, Wikipedia was there first with a somewhat indefinite article on the Windows key. Maybe I'll update that a little once I've done a bit more research.
