    Default Help with Key-Combo ALT+F4 (AKA- Oldie but a Goodie)

    Sometime back in the beginning of April I thought i saw a thread or a link explaining the proper use of ALT+ F4 key combo.
    I searched the forum and can't find anything about it.
    I'm on a Mac right now so can't try it.

    Anyone?
    Of course I have bad days...
    Sometimes I'll go a whole day without quads.

    just gooooooogled it

    From www.howstuffworks.com


    This is one of those jokes people play on each other -- it's in the same category with squirting flowers and exploding cigars. This joke works on machines running the Windows operating system because Windows happens to define certain keystrokes that work the same way in all applications. Just about everyone knows that Alt+Ctrl+Del interrupts the operating system, but most people don't know that Alt+F4 closes the current window. So if you had pressed Alt+F4 while playing a game, the game window would have closed.

    It turns out there are several other handy keystrokes like that built into Windows. For example, Ctrl+Esc will pop up the Start menu, Alt+Esc will bring the next window to the foreground, and Alt+Tab or Alt+Shift+Tab will let you cycle through all available windows and jump to the one you select.

    On keyboards that have the little "Windows" key (let's call it WK here) down near the space bar, you probably know that you can press that key to open the Start menu. You can also use that key with other keys like you use the shift key. For example:

    WK+e - starts the Windows Explorer
    WK+f - starts the Find in Files dialog
    WK+Ctrl+f - starts the Find a Computer on the Network dialog
    WK+M - minimizes all the windows to clear the desktop
    WK+Shift+M - restores all the minimized windows
    WK+r - starts the Run dialog
    WK+F1 - starts Windows Help
    WK+Pause - starts System Properties

    wk+d does the same thing as wk+m, but d is closer to the wk key.

    Also, wk+u is fucking fun. Opens microsoft narrator!

    I thought it was common knowledge that Alt-F4 closes the window or application.
