Tech stuff - For Win 2K Pro & maybe others "How do I undo what I did?" 


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.

Note: This tip works in Windows 2000 Professional,
but
it may also work in other versions of Windows with
little alteration. Give it a try!
