If you use Firefox and like using the keyboard, Hit-a-Hint is an extension that lets you use the keyboard to navigate.

Windows key shortcuts can really make your computing experience a lot easier when you memorize them, so memorize them! If you can’t then just keep a list of them nearby so you can quickly look at them if you need them. I have been able to do my work so much faster thanks to the Windows shortcuts.

WIN + M = Minimizes all windows. Quite similar with WIN + D

Those are great for people who are new to Windows or just didn’t even know what the Windows key was! Seems like most people know about the Alt+F4 and Alt+Tab (I personally didn’t know about WinKey+D and WinKey+E)

Nevertheless, Great Tips! :)

All keyboard shortcuts are quick useful things to use. I probably use Alt+tab the most then Alt+F4.

That win+D one has just made my life a lot easier ^.^ i gotta say it’s better than right clicking the task bar followed by “Show the desktop” sometimes i cant even get to this because of the amount of windows open making it impossible to right click in the first place hahaha!

win+L is the one i use the most to lock the computer quickly, seen as it’s a shared pc aswell, it’s rather quicker than logging off and on every time I leave the computer.

i will always remember coming across win+u+enter to shut down the computer, the first keyboard shortcut i ever used =P if you can call it a short cut… altho it no longer works in xp or vista

Don’t forget Win+L to quickly lock your PC. Ctrl + Shift + Esc will also open the task manager.

these tips were very helpful to me because i never knew some of them mentioned. Now that i have obtained this knowledge, I will be able to run Windows with more ease and better performance.
