You might have tried several tools to capture desktop screen or an active window, sometimes part of the screen which has got an interesting image. Surely it is not so easy to complete the job with old Windows screen capture methods.

Word processors, spreadsheets, presentation tools, database and internet tools are essential components of a desktop PC now-a-days. Most of the users never give attention to setup a fully working computing environment by installing essential software for their regular use. Installation of a software is usually done when they forced to install any of them to open a file which is downloaded from Internet or to open a video or an applet on a web page. My opinion is that install all the essential software immediately after the installation of the OS. It may be difficult to get and install all of them together, but make a schedule and install them without much delay. If you search for a virus scanner only after an attack from an internet source, it is difficult for you to continue your work. So keep all essential things ready, so there may not be much trouble with regular computing. Some of the most important software from freeware/shareware category are listed out here and which are downloadable free from their respective sites. Read the details about the software given below and selection part is up to you as per your requirement. Continue reading »

It is very exciting news that Mozilla has received more than 8 million requests for Firefox 3 downloads on the first day of releasing.

Firefox 3 sets the innovation bar very high with exciting new features, including one-click bookmarking, the smart location bar and lightning fast performance.

This is a very common windows shortcut key to restart a PC or to open Windows Task Manager window. Don’t try this unless you require. I am a great fan of shortcuts with my desktop applications. Shortcut keys help provide an easier and usually quicker method of navigating and using computer software programs. These are commonly accessed by using the combination of Alt, Ctrl, and/or Shift in conjunction with a single letter. The de facto standard for listing a shortcut is listing the modifier key, a plus symbol, and the single character. Or in other words, “ALT+S” is telling you to press the Alt key and while continuing to hold the Alt key, press the S key to perform the shortcut. There are many websites giving shortcut keys for your regular desktop applications.
Try shortcuts given in shortcutworld.com. Shortcuts and description of Firefox, Winamp, Windows XP, Word, Excel etc. are explained nicely on the site. Also, Photoshop keys.
