Turn on Uppercase Filenames —Tired of having Win98 changing filenames that contain all capital letters to filenames that have the first letter capitalized, the rest small? Turn off this switched casing. Open a folder and select “View/Folder Options.” On the multi-tabbed dialog box that follows, select the “View” tab. Under “Files and Folders,” check “Allow all uppercase names”. Click the “Like Current Folder” button if desired—it will change all folder settings to the ones of the current folder.Keystrokes and Message Boxes—Here is another of those tips, about which I originally thought, “everyone knows it, why bother?” After doing analysis and consulting work on various systems, however, I realized I had thought wrong.
Save yourself some mouse movement: when a message box appears on the screen asking you to click on “OK” to continue, just make sure the current window is the active one and press the “ENTER” key. If it is asking for a click to “CANCEL,” press the ESCAPE key.
