A small tip for you..

When we have too many programs open at the same time and can't remember which icon belongs to which program on the toolbar, is there an easy way to tell which button is which?

By hovering over an item, a balloon should come up telling you what the program is.

One easy way to switch between programs you have open is to hit Alt+Tab . A small box will pop up with icons for all the currently open programs (even settings windows that don't display on the tool bar - like display properties for instance).

Hold down Alt , then simply hit Tab until the window you're looking for is highlighted. Notice that as you tab, the title bar information is displayed.



Oh, also—hold down the Alt+Shift key while hitting Tab to go backwards through the list.

Open a couple of programs and try it. Happy hunting
