My most used:

Ctrl-C; Ctrl-V, Ctrl-X, Ctrl-Z, Alt-F4

I know... simple, but that's row I roll. :)

Excel junkie?

I was hoping for something new from this thread but it does not deliver. I use most of the Windows shortcuts here. I suppose I could add a zillion Excel keyboard combos (e.g. Alt+E+S+V for paste values, Ctrl+PgDn for next sheet, etc). BTW, Ctrl+L is yet another way to go to the address bar in at least Firefox.

I'm a big user of Win+R. The auto-complete for paths satisfies the former *nix user in me. :D

CTRL+W (try it out now)

ALT+Tab (Windows+Tab when I'm on Vista)
CTRL+(Shift)+Tab (shift to go back a tab of course, if needed)
Windows+D
CTRL+SHIFT+ESC (brings up task manager)

All these people with their newfangled keyboards and "Windows keys" ... wow ... I didn't realize that many people used keyboards other than the standard 101 key....

I think my favorite keyboard shortcut is probably alt-f4.

i use this one more than most others, but i do love ctrl+alt+shft+T. thats a back door i use to get back to config screens in case of a lock up on industrial displays. i disable it when i get finished with the project, but its nice to have a way to restart without cycling power

Alt+F4 is the solution to all sorts of annoying video game problems.

"How did you not die just now?"
"Alt+F4 activates your armor."
