Did you know you can assign certain keystrokes to open a program? This way you won't have to stop what you're doing and double click on it with your mouse. Right click on the chosen program on your desktop and select PROPERTIES. Click on the Shortcut Tab. In the text box labeled SHORTCUT KEY, type your chosen letter. Ctrl + Alt will automatically be added. Click OK. Now hit CTRL + ALT + letter.
Shrink Your Toolbar Size
Is your toolbar taking up too much room? Customize it! You can shrink the size of the buttons, and if you know what each button does, you can remove the text labels underneath the buttons.
Click on the "View" menu, choose "Toolbars", and then select "Customize". On the "Customize Toolbar" dialog box that follows, you can add or remove icons (buttons) to and from the toolbar, shrink the size of the icons, and change how text is displayed near the icons, if at all.
When you are done modifying the toolbar, press "Close" to exit this dialog box.
