'Trash'
Anything in your trash is
using up Hard drive space.
The trash is not a holding bay. If you put something in it
empty it. Don't forget you have two trash cans. One on the
desktop and one in your emailer.
'Trash
empty'
To delete locked items in the
Trash, hold down the Option key and select Empty Trash from
the Special menu.

where it was, select what you want to return and press
Command+y
'Trash
send to'
To quickly delete an object in
OS 8 and above, select it and press Command+Delete. No need
to physically drag it to the trash.

'Delete'
'Trash
Warning'
Tired of the warning when
emptying the Trash? Select the Trash and then press
Command+I to access the Trash Info Window. Un select warn
before emptying to remove the warning. ( I would not
recommend this on the chance you really meant to Restart or
Shut down your computer).
'Underline'
Scroll over to highlight and
hold down Command+U or perform before you type the word. To
revert back to plain hold down Command+T.
'Undo'
To undo what you have just
performed hold down Command+Z. Be careful how you use this.
You may loose everything. If you do Command+Z will restore
it for you.
'Uninstalling
applications'
On the Mac OS is a snap. For
most intents and purposes, dragging the application's folder
to the trash (and removing the application preference file)
is all that is needed. If the application installed any
control panels and extensions, these can be easily located
and removed using the Extensions Manager.
Windows applications, on the other hand, frequently install
in a multitude of places making uninstallation very
difficult, hence the market for the plethora of separate
uninstall programs on Windows. Even the built-in "Add/Remove
Programs" doesn't work with all applications and often
doesn't remove all installed components.
'Virtual
Memory'
If you start the computer
while holding the Command key down Virtual Memory will be
disabled for that time only. Extensions and control panels
will load normally subject to available RAM.
'Which
Extensions and Controls at start up'
Holding the Space bar down at
start-up activates most extension managers letting you
choose which extensions and control panels are enabled as
you start the computer.
'Zapping
the PRAM'
Holding down
Command+Option+P+R just after start-up will cause your
computer to restart and reset the contents of the Parameter
RAM. 'Zapping the PRAM" as it is known is often suggested as
a fix for almost anything and everything. If you really feel
a need to perform this, make Sure that the computer restarts
at least three or four times before releasing the keys as
one restart may not completely clear the PRAM.
