iexplore + "web address" = Internet Explorer
compmgmt.msc = Computer Management
dhcpmgmt.msc = DHCP Management
dnsmgmt.msc = DNS Management
services.msc = Services
eventvwr = Event Viewer
dsa.msc = Active Directory Users and Computers
dssite.msc = Active Directory Sites and Services
Windows key + E = Explorer
ALT + Tab = Switch between windows
ALT, Space, X = Maximize window
CTRL + Shift + Esc = Task Manager
Windows key + Break = System properties
Windows key + F = Search
Windows key + D = Hide/Display all windows
CTRL + C = copy
CTRL + X = cut
CTRL + V = paste
Also don't forget about the "Right-click" key next to the right Windows key on your keyboard. Using the arrows and that key can get just about anything done once you've opened up any program.

IPCONFIG
********
Ipconfig Displays all current TCP/IP network configuration values and refreshes
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) and Domain Name System (DNS) settings.
Used without parameters, ipconfig displays the IP address,
subnet mask, and default gateway for all adapters.
Syntax:
ipconfig [/all] [/renew [Adapter]] [/release [Adapter]] [/flushdns] [/displaydns] [/registerdns] [/showclassid Adapter] [/setclassid Adapter [ClassID]]
IPCONFIG Parameters
*******************
/all
Displays the full TCP/IP configuration for all adapters.
Without this parameter, ipconfig displays only the IP address, subnet mask,
and default gateway values for each adapter.
Adapters can represent physical interfaces, such as installed network adapters,
or logical interfaces, such as dial-up connections.
/renew [Adapter]
Renews DHCP configuration for all adapters (if an adapter is not specified),
or for a specific adapter if the Adapter parameter is included.
This parameter is available only on computers with adapters
that are configured to obtain an IP address automatically.
To specify an adapter name, type the adapter name that appears when you use ipconfig,
without parameters.
/release [Adapter]
Sends a DHCPRELEASE message to the DHCP server
to release the current DHCP configuration and discard the IP address configuration,
for either all adapters(if an adapter is not specified),
or for a specific adapter if the Adapter parameter is included.
This parameter disables TCP/IP for adapters configured to obtain an IP address automatically.
To specify an adapter name,
type the adapter name that appears when you use ipconfig without parameters.
/flushdns
Flushes and resets the contents of the DNS client resolver cache.
During DNS troubleshooting, you can use this procedure to discard negative cache entries
from the cache, as well as any other entries that have been added dynamically.
/displaydns
Displays the contents of the DNS client resolver cache,
which includes both entries preloaded from the local Hosts file
and any recently obtained resource records for name queries resolved by the computer.
The DNS Client service uses this information to resolve frequently queried names quickly, before querying its configured DNS servers.
/registerdns
Initiates manual dynamic registration for the DNS names and IP addresses
that are configured at a computer.
You can use this parameter to troubleshoot a failed DNS name registration,
or resolve a dynamic update problem between a client and the DNS server,
without rebooting the client computer.
The DNS settings in the advanced properties of the TCP/IP protocol determine,
which names are registered in DNS.
/showclassid Adapter
Displays the DHCP class ID for a specified adapter.
To see the DHCP class ID for all adapters,
use the asterisk (*) wildcard character in place of Adapter.
This parameter is available only on computers with adapters,
that are configured to obtain an IP address automatically.
/setclassid Adapter [ClassID]
Configures the DHCP class ID for a specified adapter.
To set the DHCP class ID for all adapters,
use the asterisk (*) wildcard character in place of Adapter.
This parameter is available only on computers with adapters,
that are configured to obtain an IP address automatically.
If a DHCP class ID is not specified, the current class ID is removed.
/?
Displays help at the command prompt.
Remarks
*******
You can use Network Connections to view and renew an IP address.
To do this:
Open Network Connections, right-click a network connection.
Click Status, and then click the Support tab.
This command is most useful on computers that are configured
to obtain an IP address automatically.
This enables users to determine which TCP/IP configuration values have been configured
by DHCP, Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA), or an alternate configuration.
If the Adapter name contains any spaces,
use quotation marks around the adapter name (that is, "Adapter Name").
For adapter names, ipconfig supports the use of the asterisk (*) wildcard character,
to specify either adapters with names that begin with a specified string,
or adapters with names that contain a specified string.
For example, Local* matches all adapters that start with the string Local and *Con*,
matches all adapters that contain the string Con.
This command is available only if the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) protocol is installed
as a component in the properties of a network adapter in Network Connections.
Examples
********
To display the basic TCP/IP configuration for all adapters, type:
ipconfig
********
To display the full TCP/IP configuration for all adapters, type:
ipconfig /all
*************
To renew a DHCP-assigned IP address configuration for only
the Local Area Connection adapter, type:
ipconfig /renew "Local Area Connection"
**************************************
To flush the DNS resolver cache when troubleshooting DNS
name resolution problems, type:
ipconfig /flushdns
******************
To display the DHCP class ID for all adapters with names that start with Local, type:
ipconfig /showclassid Local*
****************************
To set the DHCP class ID for the Local Area Connection adapter to TEST, type:
ipconfig /setclassid "Local Area Connection" TEST

Hi all, first post on this board.
At least in W98, and maybe other MS OS's, you can force the system to use nearly all your physical memory before it uses the swap file. Probably best with 256meg or more. But try it with less, it might be OK. Easy enough to undo.
In System.INI under [386Enh] add the line:
ConservativeSwapfileUsage=1
Or change it to 1 if a 0 is there.
On my system with 512meg, before turning this on the swap file was used with as little as 20% of memory in use. With it on the swap file isn't use until 85% or so is in use. Speeds up the computer a bunch.

just use the "repair" connection with a right click on the properties its easier than opening up a command prompt and using the old ipconfig command.

fabulous tips and very good quote to a worrier great work dude i rally like
In Microsoft Excel, you can covert the digits list into Roman format automatically. MS Excel allows you to perform conversion by using a mathematical formula. The sentence structure for the Roman function is:
Roman( number, type )
Here number is the any specific digit or cell number that you want to perform conversion to roman and type is optional operator. Roman function will generate error message if you will try to enter here any negative number or values greater than 3999.
To apply a roman formula to MS Excel document, follow the given steps:
