Hi Chase,

I am not sure how the more savvy do it, but I like to use notepad, cut and
paste the code to it and save as a file on my desktop. Then I just hit the
Flying Windows Key and the 'D' key at the same time to expose the desktop on
my screen and double click that new file. That may deserve a tip, and
feeling as my spam earlier needs even more compensation, here goes:

<tip type="Working Smarter with Windows">
At the risk causing a sigh from the stout and intelligent Mac and *nix, etc,
users out there, us poor Windows users need all the tips we can get to
maximize productivity. So, while a finger is parked on the Flying Windows
key on the newer style keyboards, press:

D -- to minimize all windows and set the focus to the desktop. Great for
keyboard access to your desktop icons,
F -- to Find (Yep, still works in > 2k, where the theme has been switched to
"Search"),
E -- to bring up Explorer,
M -- to minimize all your windows (your focus disappears),
Tab -- cycles through the windows in the task bar
R -- brings up the run... dialog
U -- For accessibility utilities (Win 2k, maybe others)

I like to use the Windows key-Tab to target that window I want to close,
press enter and Alt-F4 to close it fast.
</tip>
