It's great to be able to create additional Quick Launch icons to the quick launch toolbar to reside next to the 4 built-in defaults and it's easy to do.

1. Right click and drag an existing shortcut from the desktop to the area next to the start button and release it, or, using Explorer, right click and drag the icon for a program file (exe) in the same manner and release.

2. Select create shortcut here.

3. If you are always looking for "My Computer" to explore or check something, it's a good choice to drag on down to the quick launch bar for instant access at any time.

Drag any folder or any item from the desktop (e.g. My Computer, Recycle Bin, Network Neighborhood, Control Panel icon etc.) to the edge of the screen and release. You get a Single Click Quick Launch Toolbar with all the icons inside it.

To cascade the Control Panel applets off your Start Menu:

1. Right-click on the Start button and select Open.

2. Create a new folder and call it:
   Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}

1. Open any folder (i.e. "My Computer").
2. Choose "View|Folder options..." from the menu.
3. Move to the "File Types" tab.
4. Locate the "Folder" entry.
5. Choose Edit.
6. Select "Explorer", and finally
7. Press "Set as default". and leave the dialogs using Ok/Close.

Now, whenever you open any sort of folder, may it be a drive/directory, the Control Panel or your Mobile Devices folder, you automatically get the two-paned Explorer view for easier navigation.

If you wish you had a Windows Key on your keyboard but you don't, and you don't want to shell out money for a new keyboard when your existing one is perfectly fine, then make one. All you must do to complete the operation is the Keyboard Remap Kernel Toy and your Right Ctrl or Right Alt key.

You can download the kernel toy for keyboard remapping at:
http://www.microsoft.com/windows95/downloads/contents/wutoys/w95kerneltoy/

Just click the Windows 95 Keyboard Remap link. Download the file to any location of your choice, then open Keyremap.exe to extract its contents. Right-click the Keyremap.inf file and select install.

Next, open the Control Panel, open Keyboard properties, and select the Remap tab. Under Right-hand Side, select the key you want to use--such as Right Alt--in the left-hand box. In the right-hand box (still under Right-hand Side), select Windows. Click OK, and you now have a Windows key. To test it press the key you used once and the start menu pops up.

You can use this tip to enable or disable the internal PC speaker in Win95/98/NT:

1. Click "Start, Run," and type "RegEdit" (no quotes) then press ENTER or click OK.

2. Search for this key: "[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Sound]" (no quotes) by using the "Find" command within RegEdit.

3. Find the "Beep" (no quotes) value. It should already exist, but if it doesn't, the user can create it by clicking "Edit, New, String Value" (no quotes) and naming it "Beep" (no quotes).

4. Change the value of "Beep" to "Yes" (no quotes) if you want PC speaker beeping turned on, or "No" to have the beep sounds turned off.

In Internet Explorer 4.01/5.0 and higher, if you right-click on "Internet Explorer" on your desktop and choose "Properties" there is an optional check-box for:

This means, if checked, that Windows will open each instance of Internet Explorer in its own separate memory-space process. So if one Internet Explorer window crashes, the others should still continue to work normally.
