I just learned this one last night... press the cntrl key and the + key down and the font on your screen becomes larger, press the cntrl key and the - key down and it becomes smaller. it does not matter if it is on the number pad or on the top of the keyboard. do any of you have little tidbits to share regarding the Vista o.s.?

You can do this with Firefox too. Firefox is a Web Browser like Internet Explorer. Vista is supposed to keep versions of files. So if you edit a file and save it you can still revert back to an older version. Not sure how though never tried it. You can go to www.thevistaforums.com and have a look around.

this is not just for Windows this do it also works in Internet Explorer or Firefox in windows XP too. You can also hold down control and then spin the scroll wheel to increase and decrease the font on the webpage.
