> shutdown". No more right clicking on the taskbar!
> Other good ones are "putty -l <session>" to start a specific ssh
> session, or "irfanview --clippaste" to open Irfanview and load the
> content of the clipboard (super fast for screenshots)
> -- Additional keyboard shortcut
> I run Colibri at startup, but not using the configuration setting. I
> prefer to have a shortcut in my start menu, in the "Start Up" folder.
> This menu entry also has an additional keyboard shortcut (AltGr-Shift-
> C), therefore I can open or restart Colibri without messing with
> (slooow) menues.
> -- Links to network connections
> Drag connections for the "Network connections" folder into your
> Colibri shortcut folder, for keyboard access! "Wireless network" is
> probably the most useful of them, since it gives you fast access to
> the wireless network configuration!
