The Expose Tool for Macintosh Computers
Tony from expertvillage.com okay moving right along I'm going to show you a feature called expose and this feature is very handy. If you have you know five or more windows open some people my have 20 this is a really easy feature where you could access and locate the window that you are looking for to get to a certain file or application or whatever it is. Basically I have to see all windows, I have the shortcut program on my keyboard to be F9. So all have to do is hit F9 and boom you see all my windows here. Every window that I have open. It shows of course the more that I have open the smaller the are going to be but, you know when you kind of move your mouse around over them it is going to kind of show you what these are. So it is very simple to find your files or your programs or whatever you are looking for and then I would just hit F9 again and it would go back to normal. Now you could select this to be anything you want on your keyboard. You could be F1, F2, it is all about whats your preference and pretty much you just go into this feature by selecting system preferences, keyboard and mouse and then I clicked over to where it says keyboard shortcuts and this is how you could set up your keyboard to your liking. This is a very handy feature and it is very helpful when you are looking for those files or you want to see what windows you have open.
