I know the feeling of your secure network being compromised by an end user… Passwords do fall into the wrong hands and then what do you do? Scenarios start running through my head and I make a mental list of all the passwords and system configs that need to be changed. These aren’t fun times [...]

You know the saying, “You can’t have too much RAM or too much storage.”
Well, there is at least one case where a lot of RAM can cause problems.

Now you want to add useful right click options for yourself and AtA is here to show you [...]

Everyone knows your friendly neighborhood admin is all about shortcut keys and uber productivity.
I don’t know how I never found this one before… Check it out you have your quick launch buttons displayed next to your start menu for easy access.

We have used many different retail programs to recover accidentally or maliciously deleted files off of our PC, Digital Camera or Mobile device. We have tried a few free ones and they bring us back to the old saying… You get whatcha pay for! As such we never really covered the topic here on Ata, [...]

We have reviewed Crucial Memory in the past here when we gave away a 2gb memory module to one of our readers. So we were happy to plug them again when Jenny from San Fransisco wrote us asking:
Yo Admin can you tell me what kind of memory is in my PC without me having to [...]

Do you hate looking for and downloading drivers on every re-format?
Well if you can get to your desktop you should be able to run Double Driver and copy your drivers off your machine to a USB stick and then restore them right back into your fresh clean formatted system! We covered something a little while [...]

So are you wondering why you would want to save your searches?
Think about it… How would you like the ability to dynamically find the items you need with a saved search? So the boss called and said – I need all the purchase orders less than a months old and tagged Smith?
How about Power Point [...]

This morning we had a request for adding a “High Priority Folder”.
This would be a top level folder that shows up on your Windows desktop and in My Computer. Didn’t think you could do that? Well read on…
The folder we will be creating can not be removed – just like My Computer or My Documents. [...]

Move the Bookmark toolbar next to the Menu bar to save space. Right-click anywhere near the buttons and select "modify". Now move the Bookmark toolbar to the space next to the menu. Close modify screen, right-click again and de-select Bookmark toolbar. Voila.
Especially nice together with theTtiny Menu extension:

Yes Mr. Admin :)
We knew about this, and this is most helpful when we have too many tabs opened, and going to 2 and third tab, you need to use alt+tab, and it moves one by one…
Boring, isnt it.

Alt-Tab moves to different application windows not within The Fox. Unless there is a way to modify this. I use alt tab almost as much as control alt delete and fast task manager via control shift escape .

CTRL + F4 will close the active tab, which can be quite handy at times.
CTRL + <L/R Arrow Key> & HOME/END will move tabs left and right. Great for grouping multiple tabs from a site.
When you have a tab selected, the L/R Arrow keys and HOME/END keys will switch you to the next/previous and first/last tab, respectively.
Mozilla's Knowledge base has some additional shortcuts that are real time savers!
