Default A great trick...

I learnt this great PC trick today: hold down CTRL + ALT at the same time, and whilst doing so hit the down arrow...neat, huh?

Bottoms...will only work with XP Pro, and not XP Home...not sure about Vista...

For the solution, send a one-off payment of £200 to the Spiceskull Cornish Ale Fund (address details on request) or if you prefer, you can pay 10 weekly installments of £25...



Or you can just hold down CTRL + ALT at the same time, and whilst doing so hit the up arrow...

Now, didn't that just freak you out? I happened upon it by accident at work, and it scared the sh*t out of me...
