Ready, Set, No-Go

You were supposed to leave work 15 minutes ago but you squeezed in some last minute details and now you want to run. So, you save & close your applications, and then click shutdown on your fancy new laptop with Windows 7. You jump up and get ready to run, but then you see the dreadful message:

Do not unplug your machine

Installing update 1 of 15 ....

Now what? You sit and wait 20 minutes while it installs, looking at your watch every minute. Isn't there some way around this? 

Actually there is. Instead of using the Shutdown from the start button, do this:

1. Type Control-Alt-Delete
2. In the bottom right corner then is a small power button. Click the arrow
3. Choose Shutdown

The menu that opens gives you the option to Shutdown with Updates or just Shutdown.

The Path

Here is a handy shortcut that I just found out about:

Under Windows 7, if you need to copy the path to a file, you just hold the Shift key, then right mouse click on the file. The menu that opens now has a new menu item in the middle called "Copy as path". You can then use Paste to put the full path where ever you like.
