>> Well, hello again. Welcome to Tekzilla Daily, I'm Veronica Belmont. Today's tip comes from our biggest fan Joe. He writes, "I stumbled cross a nice little quick shutdown option in Windows Vista, that works on XP too." Everyone should know by now that if you press Alt F4 to close an application. Well, if you press Alt F4, when no app has focused or when all apps are closed, then you get the good old shut down box with all your options. Thanks Joe. And to take the focus away from all applications, just click on the empty space in your taskbar. So that key combo will bring up the shut down menu immediately. Or you can use the tip we showed you in episodes 67 and hit the Windows key plus D to minimize all your windows in one fell swoop. Now if you have a tip or trick that you wanna share, then email us at Tekzilla@revision3.com. And don't forget, Tekzilla.com, it's the "the place" to find more tips, tricks, product review and how-to's. ^M00:00:56 [ Door slammed ]
