I use the windows key when I'm turning off my comp.

It's just windows key>up arrow>enter>right arrow>enter

We need the "Fuck It" key. When we get sick of some stupid program just push that baby and bam!.. the progy is bitch slapped. :D

Yeah but even with CAD you have to select the program to be terminated and that takes to long when you have multiple windows open. Not only that but sometimes when you have a lot of explorer windows open explorer itself will crash from CAD. Thus closing all those beautiful porn boxes and leaving me with nothing more than photoshop on my desktop.

Fuck you Gates.. you and your domino effected explorer! :mad:

Scroll Lock is useful for us (few) people who use Excel regularly.

Back in the old days of yore, what WAS the scroll lock key used for?

I've never, EVER used the key to the left of 1. It does this: `
and (ohmygod!) it does... THIS: �

Completely useless. So is Caps Lock, Num Lock and Scroll Lock

menu key, no need 4 it and ruins games whne u touch it by mistake. Remember when I used 2 play Duke Nukem3d with a friend, when I pressed the button the whole game would exit.

And sp3ctre the key left to 1 scrolls down the console in some games, at swedish keyboards anyway.

hehe, scroll lock is so useful for cheating in d2. now that stupid key next to the windows key, THAT is useless. hmm, or caps lock though. That is perhaps the most annoying key there is. not useless, but annoying points carry over.

engage your scroll lock key to the "on" position. the lil green light should now be displayed under the text 'scroll lock"


now press the up and down arrow keys and watch it scroll!


thats what it USED to do now it does nothing


back in the days of single use pc

[Rant on]THIS IS NOW A DEATH TO BILL GATES hate thread.

All that Hate that fat rat bastard say so, or you'll get a windows worm. I was just fine with DOS. I could even reprogram it to what I wanted. But now there is no DOS. Fuk you Bill Gates. Fuk you in the @ss with a hockey stick. Fuk you till your nuts fall off.
[/rant off]

*coughs* Ahem.

That window's key pisses me off. I always hit it, and it shoots me out of my game, back to windows. But I do use it. *windows key, U, U.* Fast turn off.
I don't mind other keys. For in Unreal 2003 I use as many keys as I can for my Taunts. And I have many Taunts. Eric Cartman and South park are my Favs. So I need those extra keys.
