3 months, no posts in this thread... Today, I learned a shortcut that I think is pretty cool:
Alt + PrtScn will take a Screen Shot of the currently selected window. Instead of always croping shots, now I know how to save time.

For you people who use the command prompt in windows ( very rare I know ), the F7 key brings you a window with the command history for that session.

Because I have to create new folders frequently these days, I googled a bit and came up with this cool tool called bxNewFolder .
bxNewFolder adds a "New Folder" button to the toolbar of Windows Explorer. It also provides a hotkey (F12) to create a new folder within the Explorer quickly. Also it keeps a log of the folder names created before, so it is very usefull when creating identical directory heirarchies.
