After spending so long working for the Police where InfoSec is taken very seriously every time I leave my machine I lock the screen, even if its just to talk to someone else on the next desk.Originally posted by Stevie Wonder Boy -
The last bank I worked at had smart cards which you whipped out of the reader when you left your desk. That automatically locked the screen too. It was a good habit to get into, for even grabbing a coffee from 5 yards away could lead to getting involved with someone else's problem.Originally posted by SimonMac View PostBehold the warranty -- the bold print giveth and the fine print taketh away.Comment

Hey!
Thanks for that.
Didn't know about the Windoze + E or the Windoze + D shortcuts.
Came in handy during the PIC assembler fiasco on Friday.
Handout says "open Windoze Explorer" so naturally they all open IE.
Give me strength.
My absolute favourite.Originally posted by NickFitz View PostAlt-F4 is another good one

Windows Explorer is actually pretty good at browsing websites, files on your own that is.bloggoth

Just found out (on Scott Hanselman's blog) that Windows 7 includes a "Boot to VHD" feature, allowing you to boot to a virtual drive but use all your hardware in the OS. Nice alternative to partitioning.
Shift-F10 is about my favourite general shortcut key - it brings up the context menu. Useful in loads of places.Comment
