Just a quick one this time: I regularly see in various guides and instructions that I must press "Windows + Break". I know where the Windows key is, but what is "Break"? I have never heard the expression.

Thanks in advance,

Paul

but I probably won't ever buy any products from that company now.

I strongly dislike this type of advertising and it will influence my buying decisions.

Good luck to you :)

There was no [i]advertising[/i] here, and I apologize if you were misled by my response.

The keyboard image was culled from the Gyration website purely for illustration purposes. I have purchased several of these, and can attest to their excellence.

That said, I have no financial connection with Gyration, nor do I own any stock in the parent company. Gyration once provided excellent service. Apparently it is under new management, and one can only hope that the once commendable service will reappear.

P.S. - When Old Mycroft and I engage in light banter, no one should take us seriously...

Thanks for that - I should have known: as my girlfriend never stops telling me "Wiki is your friend".

So why the hell don't they say pause??

Grrr!

Thanks

I used to use it a lot in the old days, very rarely nowdays though. I really dont know the answer to that one as it is only the Pause Function that I use. Until you posted the question I didn't even realise that the combination brought up System properties. ;)

I will just have to get the old grey matter to try and remember them. It really does make it quicker to get around. I just have to get rid of this mouse. ;)
