"Cheat-Sheet" Backdrop

SUMMARY: Get important information right where you need it on your Windows 95 desktop.

"Cheat-sheets" are becoming the rage of new computer accessories. From mouse mats to wrist-pads to templates, you can get accessories adorned with computer tips and tricks that you may know exist, yet forget HOW to access them at certain moments. Forget buying all of those new parts and put a cheat-sheet where you need it...right on your Windows 95 desktop!

First, create a new graphic in Paint. Instead of drawing pictures and such, key in some keystrokes and tips which you use often - but also forget often. Perhaps take some keystrokes mentioned on the MalekTips website. When done, save it, and tile it as your Windows 95 desktop. You now have a cheat-sheet which will always be at your disposal!

Besides creating a "cheat-sheet" for yourself, you can make one for fellow coworkers, family, friends, etc. Even create multiple cheat-sheets for different people using the same computer by using Windows 95's user profile features!
