Talking about Windows, I don't know how many of you know this or knew this but forgot, or much less if any of you need it, but here's this:

PC user annoyed about Task Manager jumping around gets told how to fix it with one button—by the developer that built the application 30 years ago

Do you get frustrated when you're trying to track down an application in Task Manager and the list is constantly shuffling around? Loads of people do, and that's why the developers at Microsoft added a shortcut to prevent it happening. Simply hold down the Ctrl key and everything freezes in place.

It's so easy—why didn't the developers think of this sooner? Well, they did, actually.

The shortcut has been in Task Manager since 1994. We know this because the developer that created the application just rebuffed someone over on X trying to complain about it.
