Learn to Use your Computer

Windows 2000 offers a zillion different ways for you to do the same thing. Here are three ways to access the Undo option, which unspills the milk you've just spilled.

• Click on the word Edit and then click on the word Undo from the dropdown menu. (This approach is known as wading through the menus.) The last command you gave is undone, saving you from any damage.
• Press and release the Alt key, then press the letter E (for Edit), and then press the letter U (for Undo). (This Alt key method is handy when you don't have a mouse.) Your last bungle is unbungled, reversing any grievous penalties.
• Hold down the Ctrl key and press the Z key. (This little quickie is known as the shortcut-key method.) The last mistake you made is reversed, sparing you from further shame.

Don't feel like you have to know all three methods. For example, if you can remember the Ctrl+Z key combination, you can forget about the menu method and the Alt key method.
