WINDOWS KEY SHORTCUTS

The Windows key can be used in conjunction with other keys to act as a keyboard shortcut for faster access to menu commands. Now, while the Alt key tends to open program menus (ex:Alt+F opens the File menu and Alt+E opens the Edit menu) and the Ctrl key performs actualoperations (ex: Ctrl+C will copy and Ctrl+V will paste), the Windows key will open variousWindows tools...

Win key + R will open the Start menu's Run boxWin key + F will open the Start menu's Find windowWin key + E will quickly launch Explorer

Win key + Pause/Break will open the System Properties windowWin key + M will Minimize all windowsWin key + Shift + M will undo Minimize all windowsWin key + D will switch between minimizing all open programs and showing them allWin key + Tab will cycle through items on the taskbar Win key by itself will open the Start menu

You can also open programs or folders on your desktop by pressing the Windows key + the firstletter of the program/folder/shortcut + Enter . Sounds kinda tedious, but if you're in a bind withyour mouse, it can come in quite handy.

ARROW TRICKS
http://www/http://www/


4/9

Here's a cool little arrow trick to try with word processing programs. Next time you're using your arrow keys to go from one area of a sentence to another (left and right arrows), hold down your CTRL key. Instead of moving one space at a time, you'll go one word at a time.

If you're using the up and down arrows to go from line to line, holding down the CTRL key willmake your cursor jump from paragraph to paragraph (well, from carriage return to carriage returnanyway).

One last thing, if you hold down the SHIFT key while you do this (i.e. hold down SHIFT + CTRL at

the same time), you select text as you arrow along.

I've tested this in MS Word and Wordpad, but it *should* work no matter what word processingprogram you use.

HOME / END KEY FUN

Do you ever find yourself scrolling through a huge folder ? Well, if you need to get to thebeginning or the end quickly, just press Ctrl+Home . If you want to get to the end, click Ctrl+End .

Hey, that's not all!

This little trick works on more than just folders. If you use the Home key in a word processor, itgoes to the beginning of the line you're currently working on. If you hit the END key, it shouldhead to the end of the current line. If you pair Home & End up with the Ctrl key in a wordprocessor, you will be whisked away to the beginning or end of the document. Again, this shouldwork, but it depends on your word processor.

Speedup your work by using keyboard more and mouse less. Useful Shortcut:
