Colin’s Tech Tip: Delete Words Faster

Tired of backspacing letter-by-letter? Colin recommends using Ctrl + Backspace to delete entire words at once.

This small trick can save time when editing documents, writing emails, or updating reports and, in turn, making the day run a little bit smoother.

Chadd’s Tip: Leave the Cabling to the Pros

The King of Cabling himself keeps it simple: “Don’t do cabling yourself. Let us handle it for you.”

Poorly installed network cabling can lead to connectivity issues, signal loss, and safety hazards. The team at BAE Networks is specially trained to handle it so you can maintain your sanity and strong connection.

John’s Tech Tip: Master Window Management

One of the most underrated Windows shortcuts is when you combine the Windows key and an arrow key.

These shortcuts are perfect for multitasking, organizing your desktop, or comparing multiple screens at once.

Craig’s Tip: The Classic Still Works

After more than 20 years in the IT industry, Craig stands by one of the oldest (and truest) tips in the book: “Turn it off and on again.”

A simple reboot often resolves temporary software glitches, clears memory issues, and resets connections.

Kreg’s Tech Tip: Use the Extended Clipboard

Kreg shared a feature that most Windows users don’t realize exists.

You already know Ctrl + V pastes your last copied item, but Windows + V opens your extended clipboard, letting you access up to 25 recently copied items.

It’s a great way to boost productivity when juggling documents, links, or repetitive tasks. Just make sure it’s turned on in your Windows settings.

Ryan’s Tip: Call BAE Networks

Ryan keeps it short and to the point: “Call BAE Networks.”

Because sometimes, the best tech tip isn’t a shortcut — it’s knowing who to call when something goes wrong.
