Windows Keyboard Shortcuts

The keyboard image effects that you see below showing Windows Keyboard Shortcuts are being controlled through an external .css (Cascading Style Sheet) file. These are not actual images, but a carefully thought out list of CSS attributes that gives the appearance of a key on a Windows keyboard.

select areas of content to be highlighted, copied, pasted, etc. 12.

Print Screen/SysRq

Usually located at the upper right hand corner of your keyboard next to the Scroll Lock andPause/Break keys. I will be devoting an entire page to the Print Screen Key when time permits. Please note that not all keyboards have the Print Screen Key. Back to Previous

And last but not least, the infamous...

1.
Ctrl

+ Alt + Delete

Doing this once will bring up the Close Program dialog box. From there you can highlight the program that you wish to force closed (End Task), look for this at the end of the program name; [not responding]. You only need to do this when a program freezes (crashes) on you, welcome to Windows! 2.
Ctrl

+ Alt + Delete + Ctrl + Alt + Delete

Doing this twice will Shut Down and Reboot your computer. This is a last resort option to a severe crash and one that I typically do not recommend! Each time you do this, you cause a little disk fragmentation. If you don't defrag your hard drive on a regular basis, your system will eventually slow down and crash more frequently.
