Memory Troubleshooting
You can solve memory problems on your computer by using the Memory Troubleshooter in Help.
Dead Mouse
If your mouse goes out, its very hard to maneuver around Windows 95. You can only get to a certain point when trying to select things without the mouse. You have always heard that if your mouse goes out, you can change the accessibility option from the control panel to use the arrow keys on the numeric keypad to move the mouse around.
Well, you can only do this if you have thought about it beforehand. You need to go to control panel, click accessibility options, choose the mouse tab (this is where you lose control if you have no mouse, no way to choose the mouse tab without the mouse.
Click on settings, then click the box that says "use shortcut". Now, if your mouse goes out, you can press the left ALT+Shift keys with the number lock key, and then you can use the arrow keys on the numeric keypad to move the mouse. (the 5 in the center of the pad is the same as a click)
Move by Mistake
Ever moved a file and wished you hadn't? Simply click the Undo button from the Explorer's Edit menu, and the problem is solved.
Grabbing Data from MS-DOS Apps
To move information between a Command Prompt or MS-DOS-based application, activate the toolbar in the MS-DOS-based application window. This will enable point & click access to copy, cut and paste operations from a Windows-based application to an MS-DOS-based application.
Exploring with My Computer
If you use "My Computer" to look at directories, when you hold down the CTL key, and double click on the directory you want, it will TAKE OVER the window you are using. (instead of having TWO windows open).
