        Excel uses it to allow the user to scroll around the sheet with the arrow keys etc but without moving the focus from the current cell.


        Formula 1 - Short for "F1 Racing" - named after the standard "help" key in Windows, it's a sport where participants desperately search through software help files trying to find actual documentation. It's tedious and somewhat cruel, most matches ending in a draw as no participant is able to find anything helpful. - Shog9 Ed

                I've had KVM switches that use the scroll lock key to switch between computers.

                  Me too. Have you also experienced that the sensitivity of mouse movements went up after using this? I'm still having one of those and it irritates me.

                              From the link ... C:\Una\Lesbian Porn>DIR . . . then the 22,000 files in that directory scroll past so fast I can't see their names. However, if I apply the pipe function at the command prompt like this: C:\Una\Lesbian Porn>DIR | more ...

                                        I've noticed that indians often use the word doubt instead of question. I suppose that's because some of the indian languages (might be a cultural thing) doesn't distinguish between the two.

                                          A silly doubt. What is the use of Scroll Lock Key ? Is it really used frequently ?

                                          In WinXP, what is the purpose of Press Control-Alt-Delete to get the log on screen? Why can't that screen be displayed by default?
