I was using the [XP] Windows Explorer. When I clicked on the Windows
folder, it showed me a message that said "These files are hidden. This
folder contains files that keep your system working properly. You should
not modify its contents". Below that was a link "Show the contents of this
folder". I clicked it, but now I want to rehide it. How do I do
this?

It is surprisingly easy, once you know it. That you did not immediately
see how tells me that you have the Folders pane (on the left side of the
explorer) visible. The solution is to turn this off, easily done by
pressing the Folders button located under and possibly to the right of the Help
menu section. When you press this, you will see this you will then see the
left pane showing "System Tasks", "Other Places", and "Details". Within
the "System Tasks" section is a link that says "Hide the contents of this
folder". Click that and you're "reset".

When using Remote Desktop [in XP / Vista / etc.], how do I send Ctrl+Alt+Del?
I keep forgetting to turn off the screensaver password and wind up having to
disconnect then reconnect just to get back to work.

Here are the key combos:
| Windows Local: |
Ctrl+Alt+Del |
| Terminal Services / Remote Desktop: |
Ctrl+Alt+End |
| Dameware Remote (into Windows): |
Use the CAD Button |
| VMWare |
Ctrl+Alt+Insert |
