Tech Tip #2 - Enhanced Ctrl+Alt+Del

During my last post, Firefox crashed, which reminds me of another tech tip. When a program freezes, most people hit Ctrl+Alt+Del and end the program from the Applications tab (which pops up by default). However, it is often faster to click the Processes tab and end the process that is causing problems. So if Firefox freezes, just end the process firefox.exe. It's much faster, and useful when a regular Ctrl+Alt+Del won't work.

While I'm talking about Ctrl+Alt+Del, I will mention one more feature. In XP, a few programs will not run if they are open in another user's account on the computer. So from Ctrl+Alt+Del, click the Users tab, right-click the offending user, and log them off! This only works as an administrator, and be careful you don't log someone off when they're in the middle of something.
