Do you miss QuickRes in the Win9x system tray? No worries, it's easy to get back. Right-click on an sparse piece of desktop real estate, choose Properties from the context menu, then click the Settings Tab. Next, click the Advanced button, followed by the General tab. There, you should see a "Show settings icon on task bar" checkbox. Check it and check out your system tray. While you're checking out cool stuff, you Windows 2000 users can play around with an on-screen keyboard by clicking Start - Run and typing OSK.EXE. This is part of the Accessibility features and can come in handy if you happen to be without the use of a hand temporarily, or just feeling too lazy to type. Another nifty utility with Windows 2000 is IRFTP.EXE. For you infrared users, you can connect to other IR-capable devices (like a PDA, digital camera or notebook computer) and easily transfer files between them.
