Restart Windows without rebooting



Posted in Uncategorized

Something I've never known. You can restart windows without waiting 30 seconds for your BIOS to finish loading

Windows Vista: Select Start, then hover over the arrow to the right of the padlock icon until the pop-up menu appears. Hold down the SHIFT key while clicking "Restart".

Windows XP: Select Start, then "Shut Down…". Change the drop-down box "Restart". Hold down the SHIFT key while clicking OK

You could probably do the same in Windows 3.11 by dropping to a DOS shell and typing "win".

Car crashes into top floor of house



Posted in Uncategorized

My husband thought the dog had knocked something over downstairs but as he got to the bedroom door he could see the hole in the wall and all the furniture moved.

That’s when we came downstairs and saw the car there.

They must have been travelling seriously fast to launch from the kerb into a second storey bedroom.
