The only effect of openDNS on your ISP is that it reduces the load on their servers. DNS is required to make the web work (it converts google.com to its IP address 74.14.205.100), but it isn’t a real value add, so ISPs throw the minimum required amount of resources and servers into it. OpenDNS is an organization dedicated to providing fast DNS queries for free. Using OpenDNS shouldn’t violate your ISP agreements, and if it does you have an unethical ISP.

It isn’t kosher that some ISPs intercept DNS queries to other servers and redirect them to their own. As another pointed out, this is only so they can spy on you. Now it isn’t cool to ISP B if you pay ISP A for your internet service, and configure your computer to use ISP B’s DNS servers. But all companies that have a problem with this should have already configured their servers to only respond to DNS requests inside their own ISP range.

For Firefox………..tool>option>Advanced tab>general tab> then check on ’search for text when i start typing’ will make ctrl + f more easier, you dont even have to press those shortcuts…..start typing for what you want..(cursor should not be in any text area)
Also Alt + left arrow and Alt + right arrow will do the work of Back and Forward in firefox and in IE

Another way to find things within a page is also to use Ctrl + F and type your keyword into the taskbar that comes up from the bottom of the window.

What effect does the “Open DNS” trick have on my current ISP? It seems so easy and effective that it must be a violation of some existing agreement.
Thank you for the shortcuts!

Ctrl+L takes you straight to the address bar.

Yay! I “passed this test” with 6 out of 7 points, didn’t know about the Open DNS one. Thanks Aibek!

Wow, that’s really nice. Just tested it on Vista and works like a charm

Never mind… I find it anyway.

Another way is to simply drop shortcuts in WINDOWS folder, but i dont like that way.

I know how to use and how to make new shortcuts, but forgot what to do at first, that I could do that.

But I could find it up if needed… (?)

Not sure if this is Vista only but, depending on the arrangement of your quick launch bar, you can press Windows+Number to launch that program. For example, IE is in the second slot on my quick launch bar and when I press Windows+2 a new IE opens up.

Yeap ‘ALT-Shift-PrtScn’ works … Neat trick

By: Aibek

Aibek — Sun, 27 Jan 2008 15:12:54 +0000

I tried ‘Windows-Shift-PrtScn’ on Vista but it didn’t work. Are you on Vista?

Thanks for sharing. But isn’t it illegal?

I know it works for calculations, but not sure about other conversions. I tried to onvers some currency units and it didn’t work.

“But sorry, I cant tell you how to do that – I forgot”

@ Verdican: Thanks a ton for ‘Ctrl+Shift+T’, I REALLY needed this one.

Seems like too much of work. So I am going with hofi here, get autohotkey.

Oh, and if your mouse has a “thumb” button, that’s usually mapped to be “Back” (same as backspace in a browser), which is great for browsing, but if you don’t have one of those buttons on your “normal” mouse, you can remap the wheel “click” function to be a back key.

And I think the high-contrast tip I gave earlier might be ALT-Shift-PrtScn, but I can’t test it right now, ’cause I’m running Ubuntu on this laptop.

Another nice combo I use in Firefox all the time is CTRL-click, which opens a link in a new tab (no need for a blank tab, is there?).

IBM laptop users can remap the capslock key to be a Windows key (seriously – when was the last time you used capslock for anything?).

Other nice shortcuts are Windows Pause (brings up the system properties, much faster than right-clicking My Computer, and selecting Properties), and Windows L (lock workstation, which comes in handy if you have coworker who enjoy sending silly emails to your department if you walk away from your unlocked workstation).

Finally, a useless (for most of us) shortcut. Windows-Shift-PrtScn, and then hit Enter to answer Yes to the High-Contrast (white on black) display. A nice way to mess with a coworker’s machine in 2 seconds. Repeat the keystrokes to put it back the way it was.

Oh, and in Vista, Windows-Tab does the groovy Aero “Wow-factor” window switcher…

Shift-Windows-M will restore windows minimised by Windows-M.

Just another way to skin the cat.

The mouse wheel trick works in Opera too. It’s very cool.

A warning on OpenDNS though: some ISPs, for example VirginMedia in the UK, run a DNS proxy, so they intercept any DNS requests you make to external DNS servers and give you the results using their own DNS servers. It’s not entirely clear why – the worry is that they may be logging the data to build up browsing patterns …

So thanks for Ctrl+Shift+T!! I need it soooo much!
(btw – Opera for this is simply Ctrl+Z, but I prefer FF)

And of course Ctr+Z is universal for Windows users to undo what has been done
And I like some of theese too:
Ctrl+F4 close tab
Ctrl+Tab swich between tabs (also Ctrl+Shift+Tab)
Alt+F4 close window
Alt+Tab swich between programms (very useful!)

But my best shortcuts are selfmade for Win+R
Like to open calculator – Win+R write in “cal”
only I can write shortcuts that I have made (for most used folders und stuff) So useful!! But sorry, I cant tell you how to do that – I forgot
