Cool/Nifty Windows Explorer & MS wheel mouse feature ?

[freebsddude]

I learned something new today, and I am curious to see if others have
used/known this ?

When in ie, you can hold the CTRL key on the keyboard down, and turn your
wheel on the wheel mouse to increase or decrease font sizes!!!!

I did not ever use nor think of that. I am assuming it will work this way in other
apps, Netscape, Word, Excel as well ?

What would be a good place to find all these hidden features ?

Did you know about this feature ? Cast you vote and comment !!

Yep, been using it a lot lately to print web pages onto just one sheet.

Found it by accident when I had the CTRL key assigned to one of my mouse buttons. Also, SHIFT + the scroll wheel goes back/forward in IE.

It's not exclusive to MS wheel mice, it works with Logitech (and presumably others) as well.

I also found out by accident that I can control Winamp's main volume with my scroll wheel.
