Welcome!
If you're as tuned in to Firefox, a popular, secure substitute for Internet Explorer (that big window thingy you use to surf the Internet), as I am, then you'll be enthralled with the tweaks at the above link from ExtremeTech for speeding up the planet-circling incendiary mammal.
If you aren't sure what the article is telling you to do, get an open-minded, yet solid and trustworthy technician to do it for you.
If you have questions or don't know where to get Firefox, you'll need to post your comment in the form of a question, just like on Jeopardy 'cause … I'm … running … out … of … time!
'Till next time,
Best,

Think your mouse is the biggest time saver on your computer? Thank again. Courtesy of http://www.GeerCom.com.

Welcome!
The link above leads to an approximate 150 keyboard shortcuts for Windows XP. Mastering these shortcuts can create a time savings of 20- to 50- percent over using the mouse alone (according to a proprietary study by WorldTech).
Time is money. Look at your bottom line and ask yourself, how much more money can I make by retrieving 50-percent wasted effort and investing it in productive efforts?
Additional shortcuts? Put a shortcut to the program you use first on boot up into the startup folder. Copy the shortcut from your desktop or right click on the program's icon and left click on create shortcut. Copy the shortcut from its folder or the desktop.
Right click the Start button, left click on Open. Open the Programs folder and then the Startup folder. Paste the shortcut into the Startup folder and close out all these folders. On next boot, that program will start automatically with no effort from you.
Another favorite easy tip of mine is switching between open programs using Alt and Tab keys. Hold down the Alt key and use the Tab key to Tab through open programs, stop on the one you want to maximize.
