I am always after things to make my life at the desk more efficient! Today I made a new discovery on how to get my computer up and going quicker!!!!
Already I am a lover of Windows Keys……..
- Windows Key + E – opens Windows Explorer (My Computer)
- Windows Key + D – Desktop – minimises all windows to show the Desktop
- Windows Key + P – Project(or) – gives you options for sharing across screens – Duplicate, extend, etc (see pic below)
My new learning is Windows Key + 1, Windows Key + 2, Windows Key + 3, Windows Key + 4 etc ……………… if you PIN programs to your Windows Task Bar, then Windows Key + 1 gives you the first program that you have pinned, Windows Key + 2 gives you the second program that you have pinned and so on!!!!
This is going to make starting my computer and getting working SOOOO much faster !
What tips can you contribute?
In case you are wondering Windows + P gives you this picture!

About Me

Hi, my name is Karen McDonald and I am a qualified accountant and probably best known as owner of Cascade Consulting, a business that has helped many businesses (including a lot of law firms) over the last 20 years.I run an accounting and tax practice, where we aim to empower our clients to understand their finances and lighten the load of compliance.
In 2011, I founded Wise Owl Legal Practice Management as a response to seeing so many lawyers caught up with the struggle of old, out-of-date and inefficient software. I believe software should lighten your load and empower you to focus on your core mission.
If you would like to learn more about how I could help your law firm in either the accounting or practice management space (or both), please click here to book a complimentary chat with me.
