List your favorite windows shortcut keys
 
Windows shortcut keys, the ultimate for those of us who are too damned lazy to reach for the mouse or to type something in. Here are a few of my favorites.

CTRL + W - closes an IE window
ALT + -> - goes forward one page in IE
ALT + <- - goes back one page in IE (backspace does this as well)
Windows Key + D - minimizes all windows
Windows Key + E - opens the Exploring window
Windows Key + R - opens the Run box
CTRL + ALT + DELETE - this one we're all familiar with

What are your favorites?

Well, I don't have any keyboards that have a windows key one them (mmm, IBM M Series), so I don't use any of those. When in windows, the shortcut keys I use most are ALT-TAB for switching between apps, and CTL-ALT-DEL for when windows locks up on me

definitely windows key+R
do keyboard multimedia controls count? i love the easy access to the mute button! (great for phone calls and/or people calling for your name. no matter where you are on your computer, just smack the mute button!)

Alt left and right to go forward and back webpages

Ctrl T for a new tab

Ctrl L to type in a new web address

Space Bar for easy page down

Ive always liked using Alt-Tab to cycle through my open windoze

Being a computer tech, I have to say that Win+Pause is my favorite.

I like to view the source of webpages so for Opera that is Alt + F3

DonnChadh 05-05-2003 03:36 AM

Shift + Delete
Alt + Tab

and Ctrl + X/C/V of course

Never really used many of the fancier shortcuts

I can't believe that I forgot ALT + TAB. :rolleyes:

username 05-05-2003 07:43 AM

ALT + TAB
CTRL + ALT + DEL
ALT + F4

of course, I would like a windows shortcut key that reboots the machine no matter what (besides the power button)

Windows + Pause/Break=System Properties
Windows + M =Minimize all windows (another great boss shortcut)
Windows + Tab=Similar to ALT+TAB, but it cycles through the Program Buttons on the Toolbar. Giving you the option to switch/minimize/maximize/close

f1=help
f3=search (ctrl+f in most programs)
ALT+Enter=Properties in most programs

Alt + Tab
Windows key + M

Window + L (XP Professional) fast way to switch users.
