Access to hidden settings?

Question

Good morning everyone,

Just wanted to ask if anyone out there has info on any of the hidden settings on my Dell Dim. 8100. It seems from time to time I learn about a new special key combination that Dell has built into the system. So far I've learned of a diagnostics mode that can be triggered on bootup, and a key combo that clears certain areas of the BIOS when in the BIOS setup. I'm wondering if anyone has knowledge of more things like this. I just wanna explore everything there is to explore on this puppy, and the minimal settings in the BIOS have left me wanting more!

Thanks for any info!

If you look up 'keyboard' in your Dimension 8100 Tell Me How guide, you'll find some keyboard shortcut information there. The link below will show you some of the more common Microsoft shortcuts for Windows. There are many more for specific applications such as Office, etc., which can be found by visiting the Support sites for those applications. <ADMIN NOTE: Broken link has been removed from this post by Dell>

Thank for the info Goonboy,

I was kinda hoping to get info specific to the Dell system itself, not just general Windows shortcuts. Although I must say the table you linked for me had some shortcut keys on it that I wasnt aware of

Does anyone know about the proprietary shortcut keys that Dell has setup to access certain motherboard options, diag modes, bios settings, etc?

Thanks!
