Do you have a PC habit?

Everytime I minimize something, I right click on my desktop then refresh.....
Anyone out there have a habit of doing something with the mouse or keyboard or something?

I have a habit of just refreshing alll the time, every second i see the desktop, i'll do it 20 times in a row if i'm thinking. My friends all yell at me when they watch me //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif

so wait what does refreshing the desktop do?
i don't know if this is a PC habit or OCD but, every time i plug my ipod in, i have to wipe it out then re-load everything onto, i feel weird if i just update it for some reason.

hehehe... I get tired of the same ol music on my MDA or Rio (uses the same card) so I always wipe it out and give myself a fresh mix of music.

I am assuming they meant re-freshing the active window (F5) which is much easier to use and keep screens updated in CA...

control-tab switches tabs
and my biggest computer habits are reformating my computer every time i start getting hangs/glitches/network slowdown/too much crap on my computer

and i've also got a bad habit of opening a new window for google, rather than typing google.com into the address bar.

control tab makes new tabs.. I'm still trying to figure out how to switch tabs on the keyboard

SWEET, thx for the shortcut of switching tabs. Have always wondered that one.

the only shortcut I use it ctrl + T for new tabs.

I have a annoying habit of automatically checking all the forums that Im actively on EVERYTIME I open Firefox. Like if I close Firefox out thinking Im down with the computer then remembered I needed to check my bank account or something, the first thing that gets opened up is this site, and a couple others.

my friend always does the refresh thing on the desktop

i scroll pages by clicking the scroll wheel on the mouse, then circle with the arrows pops up, and then i can just move the mouse up/down to move up/down on the screen.
