[EDIT]: Just realised all of this had been adressed already... so this post is rather unecessesary. Oh. Well. Anyways.
shift delete, shift cursor keys. Really annoys me when I'm not on amiga and I cant shift delete. Quick simple easy and very usefull
However, I have had the problem of rather often, by accident, deleting quite long lines written in the shell, ed or wherever that very combination, shift+delete can be used.
virtual memory can be disabled on windows but someone here point that no virtual memory is a workbench advantage
However, according to many people that have tried this, and according to my own experiences, this isn't really recommended to do. Not only does Windows (XP, in this case) start to behave really odd when the memory is running short, but also I've encountered many many crashes of the system. XP and many applications seems to have been designed without ever considering the possible consequences of the end-user not having the virtual memory turned on.
you can create your own reolutions on windows on any new nvidia or ati card but someone here point that on workbench is possible
How do you do that? I have never heard of the possibility! I'd love to do that very thing! Especially since I often use emulators, and have to either scale the graphics into some ugly non-perfect pixel aspect ratio or add a filter to make the graphics look smooth. I would LOVE to make a perfect SNES sreenmode, and a perfect Genesis screenmode, and a perfect whatever screenmode, instead of playing with filters or ugly scaling. [Edit: just noticed your recommendations, I'll check them out]
surfing through screens is also possible on windows pressing ALT-TAB
...but it is everything but fast...
I never shutdown my computer using windows buttons...that's is for lamer users
Or, rather, people that really care about the data stored on their harddrives? I've managed to crash the entire filesystem on a partition by shutting down Windows by simply flicking the powerswitch.
