Windows 95 & 98 users:

• Want to adjust your display settings (wallpaper, background, icon spacing, etc) fast? Just right click anywhere on your desktop background and select properties. All your desktop settings will be right at your fingertips.
• Want to make changes to the shortcuts that appear in your start menu? Right click on your start button and select Explore. This is also a good way to add shortcuts to your desktop. Just drag (with the right button!) the icons from the folders you now see onto your desktop. Select copy. Presto! New shortcut on your desktop!
