"I sure wish Windows could..."

Sound familiar? Well, guess what? Windows probably can. Over more than a decade of writing PC World's Windows Tips column, I've discovered hundreds of functions that lurk below the surface of Microsoft's now-venerable operating system. With the right shortcuts and speed tricks, you can cut much of the time you spend on many chores and eliminate others entirely--all without editing the Registry, reformatting your hard drive, or taking an advanced course in Windowsology.

Some of my Windows tricks require nothing more than changing a few simple settings, while others take only a keystroke combination. So, off we go into the Windows of your wildest dreams.

PC World Contributing Editor Scott Dunn has written the Windows Tips column for more than ten years.
