TIPWORLD'S TIP OF THE DAY
http://www.tipworld.com
This tip originally appeared on the TipWorld web site.
KEYBOARD JAMMIN'
Here are three keyboard shortcuts you shouldn't be without:
Alt-Shift-Tab
While Alt-Tab cycles you through open programs and windows,
Alt-Shift-Tab cycles you backward through the same list. It's useful
when lots of applications are open.
Shift-Right-click
If you'd like to open a file in a particular application other than the
one it's associated with, hold down Shift as you right-mouse-click on
the already selected file icon. Select Open With, choose the application
in which you'd like to open the files, and click on OK.
Shift-Delete
Typically, selecting an item and pressing the Delete key sends it to the
Recycle Bin (after you click on Yes to confirm that you actually want to
send the item there). To bypass the Recycle Bin altogether, hold down
Shift as you press Delete.

INSIDE MICROSOFT WINDOWS 95 TIP OF THE WEEK
The following tip is presented by INSIDE MICROSOFT WINDOWS 95, a
monthly
publication of The Cobb Group. For a FREE issue, go to
http://www.cobb.com/w95/cuvyeu.htm
CHECKING THE STATUS OF YOUR WINDOWS 95 OPERATIONS
Status bars, which you'll find at the bottom of many Windows 95
applications' windows, are useful tools for providing information about
the command or operation you're currently performing. For example, if
you open a folder in My Computer and select several files, the status
bar will tell you how many files you've selected and the combined size
of the selected files. When you pull down a menu in a Windows 95
application and position the pointer over a command, the status bar
describes the purpose of the command. For example, if you pull down the
Insert menu in WordPad and hold the pointer over the Object... command,
a description of that command appears in the status bar. In applications
that have toolbars, the status bar works with tool tips that display the
command name associated with the button in question. For example, if you
position your cursor over the undo button on WordPad's toolbar, a tool
tip will tell you the button performs an Undo operation. When Windows 95
displays the tool tip, more detailed information about the Undo command
appears in the status bar.

BLACKWIDOW BY SOFTBYTE LABS
http://www.softbytelabs.com/files/BlackWidow.exe
This week's pick is BlackWidow by SoftByte Labs. This Internet
application will scan Web sites and get an Internet Explorer-like view
of the site's directory structure and all files within the site. You can
then choose which files to download or download the entire site for
offline viewing. You can run multiple instances of BlackWidow to work
with different Web sites at the same time, as well as perform downloads
from one site while profiling another. Black Widow allows you to suspend
an operation and resume it at a later time and assign logins and
passwords for secure sites. The application also includes functions that
enable you to provide proxies and ports, select/deselect files and
select any extensions.
