Thanks Yoda, nice list to print up and have on hand! ;)

Of course I've never had a frozen mouse....hehe! :rolleyes:

Echo on the thanks! We did work on one recently where we could not get the mouse to work at all..so appreciate the list, and will print and save for another occasion. You never really realize how "dependent" you are on the mouse until you don't have it! I only knew a few keyboard commands I use regularly..and knew the part about Alt and an underlined letter on the screen..so we sure struggled some working on that one.

Hmm......I wonder is this some new cat treat? Frozen Mouse?:D

Good list......I think I'll make it sticky for a week or two....

That's exactly where I was going with this:

Mousicle, the frozen mouse treat! :D

Don't leave out thisun!
WINKEY+BREAK gives System/Propertys Window
just 1 mor
ALT+F4 gives Shutdown Windows panel
if no other active window.

WINDOWS! WINDOWS! WINDOWS!

Nice one Yoda, very handy list to keep on the side.

Thank you so much for the list and to all those for their contribution to the list, made copies and distributed in my office. Nice of you to come out like that with a list. Similar good gestures in future from this forum will be greately appreciated.:D

All jokes aside I feed my pet snake frozen mice if I can't get live ones and I feed my larger snake frozen rats. I buy them at the pet store they are allot more expensive than live ones.

Yoda as usual you have saved my life and stopped me from a "dumb post"
I am trying to get an old notebook working for my wife and of course the mouse and touchpad are frozen. Your list saved my life and lots of nagging from my wife.
Thanks Mark:D :D
