Post windows shortcuts you know here ...

I start with task manager shortcut --> ctrl + shift + Esc.

ctrl + click a file and then draging it creates a copy of that file.

Sorry I've corrected my previous post .... its like that :

ctrl + shift + click a file and then draging it creates a shortcut of that file.

in IE:

ctrl + i opens favorites
ctrl + p opens print window
ctrl + b opens organize favorites window
backspace goes to previously viewed page

edit:

ctrl + n opens a perfect duplicate of your current page

I start with task manager shortcut --> ctrl + shift + Esc.

I've always used ctrl + alt + delete to do that

These work only in WMP.

windows key + pause/break key opens up system properties.

[belama]

in IE:

ctrl + h opens history
ctrl + f opens find window
ctrl + i opens favorites
ctrl + p opens print window
ctrl + b opens organize favorites window
backspace goes to previously viewed page

edit:

ctrl + n opens a perfect duplicate of your current page
(i think it is perfect because if you write in a textbox, all of its content will be copied)

I dont know why but ctrl + n doesnt give me a perfect duplicate anymore (it did it only once ! :confused: )

[belama]

if multiple windows are opened:
alt + tab - will show the next page under the currently viewed one

[dlh6213]

Windows key + Pause/Break key = System Properties

[belama]

shift + Backspace
in IE this will bring you forward in pages you visited
( already said Backspace was to go back )

[Kanichton]

Windows Key + D --> show desktop
It's similar to the minimize shortcut, but pressing windows + D again will bring everything back up, unlike the other.

[caperjack]

ALT+f4 will shut the darn thing down so we can all get some sleep

[OurNation]

already said

[belama]

windows key + shift + M will show windows you minimized with win key+ M
