If you have ever created a Windows shortcut you have seen the option on the Shortcut Tab called “Shortcut Key”. This Shortcut key allows you to type a keyboard shortcut that you can press to start a program in Windows. However, there is no easy way to view and manage these shortcut keys. We created Shortcut Key Explorer to help you manage the list of shortcut keys you have loaded on your computer. Simply run Shortcut Key Explorer and it will automatically load the existing shortcut keys and display them in an easy to read list. From this list you can double-click on any item and edit the properties of the Windows shortcut. This is great for troubleshooting duplicate shortcut keys or shortcut keys you did not even know existed.
PCLinuxOS GNOME Review

Review) – Everyone is familiar with PCLinuxOS by now. And most of us have preconceived thoughts and opinions on this Linux distribution. And yet, I could not get my head around the attraction of this distro over Ubuntu, Simply Mepis, Linux Mint, Freespire or any other beginner-friendly Linux release. I mean, yes, PCLinuxOS is very polished and attractive. It takes the best that Mandriva has to offer and then adds to it with features its developers felt like were lacking in Mandriva itself.
So, in this article, I opted to take a look at the GNOME release of PCLinuxOS so I could see how much of a difference another desktop over KDE can make.
Running LiveCD. One thing to appreciate about PCLinuxOS from the beginner’s perspective is the care put into their first run wizard. Important features listed below are addressed immediately.
Right off the bat, like most distros, you are asked to select your keyboard setup.
Also like other distros, time zone selection is provided right away. Unfortunately, rather than taking a cleaner approach, PCLinuxOS has me scrolling up and down endlessly for my closest time zone – this is fairly irritating. At least syncing up your local time from other servers is easy and painless.
