how do u take a screen shot?

how do u turn microsoft auto update OFF?

to take a screenshot press the "print screen" button on your keyboard. the picture will be of your current screen and will be held in your clipboard. You can open paint and paste it on there and save it.

As for turning microshit update off, i dunno how

 

[iambored]

ok thanks!

just as an add-on to ragerunners post, when u save it, make sure u save as a JPEG, not BMP. BMP are generally 1Mb+.
this is important when u attatch the file, otherwise, it doesnt really matter

Right click on My Computer > Properties or press Windows button + Pause/Break.

Go to the Automatic Updates tab. Disable it there.

No auto update tab in win2k? Also, do you have anymore of these shortcuts ?

alt + print screen

for just the active window....

thanks!!! i found it!! i never would have found that alone!!

 

[Soliah]

LoL.

I can't remember where it is in 2K but doesn't matter now that you've found it.

And I don't think there are any other KBoard shortcuts that I know of that you wouldn't already know

if i remmeber right
in 2k it's part of the service

right click on my comp and go to Manage...


then select Services and Applications

then Services


then u see Automatic Updates

right click go to properties

select it from the drop downlist and select disabled

then click ok

if u want to turn it off instantly right click on the service again and go to Stop

My favourite two (i couldn't live without these two):
Windows key +R (run command)
Windows key +E (explorer)

 

[Ragerunner]

the life saver of them all

Ctrl + Alt + delete

 

[Winston]

bah i hate using Ctrl+ Alt + Del under 2k

so i used Ctrl + Shift + Esc,
thats the 1337 way in 2k

more convenient in a sense the keys are inline from bottom to the top

they do the same thing in XP

ctrl +shift + esc and ctrl +alt +del both bring up the task manager

but in win2k

ctrl +shift + esc brings up the task manager instantly

while ctrl +alt +del brings up the options panel, to lock your comp etc..

windows+d=desktop
alt+enter when a program is highlighted = properties window
