Stop Windows Update from Hijacking the Sleep/Shutdown Button As an avid user of the Sleep function on my laptop, I’ve been more than irritated with Windows 7 or Vista’s habit of changing the Sleep/Shutdown button into an “Install Updates and Shut Down” button whenever there are updates from Windows Update. After the last time I accidentally clicked this stupid button when I just wanted to enter sleep mode, I decided to look for a solution. Update: Windows 7 does the same thing to my Shutdown button, and this same registry hack fixes the problem. Manual Registry Hack If you’d like to manually create this hack, you can open up regedit.exe using the start menu search box and then browse down to the following key, creating the key if it doesn’t exist. HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate\AU Add a 32-bit DWORD value called NoAUAsDefaultShutdownOption with a value of 1. Download Registry Hack Unzip the file and double-click on the StopHijackingMySleepButton.reg file to activate the registry hack.

20 Windows Keyboard Shortcuts You Might Not Know Mastering the keyboard will not only increase your navigation speed but it can also help with wrist fatigue. Here are some lesser known Windows shortcuts to help you become a keyboard ninja. Image by Remko van Dokkum Global Windows Shortcuts Win+1, 2, 3, 4, etc. will launch each program in your taskbar. Win+Alt+1, 2, 3, etc. will open the jump list for each program in the taskbar. Win+T will cycle through taskbar programs. Win+Home minimizes all programs except current the window. Win+B selects the system tray which isn’t always useful but can come in very handy if your mouse stops working. Win+Up/Down maximizes and restores down the current window so long as that window has the option to be maximized. Alt+Esc is like Alt+Tab but switches windows in the order they were opened and does not have the fancy window preview overlay. Win+Pause/Break will open your system properties window. Ctrl+Shift+Esc will open the task manager without needing to hit Ctrl+Alt+Del first.
