alt+spc+x works for me. been using it for many months. you can just about hit all three keys together and it'll work.

alt-space-x should be the keyboard shortcuts for Ma<U>x</U>imize on IE, and not the funny "Hit Alt-F4" type posts that some people like to suggest.

Yes, that is too much to ask. You can only have short cut keys for stuff that you don't use.

To borrow a catchphrase, I hates meeses to pieces! For me, it's a TrackPoint or nothing. Good to have the keyboard shortcuts handy when I don't have my trusty "stick" between the G and H keys.

Check out a little program called freesnap...it lets you resize, move and center your windows by just holding down the window button and hitting the number pad...

There's one it doesn't list.

In the Explorer Window, Highlight a folder and press the asterisk key on your numpad. That will expand any (and EVERY) subfolder inside. (CAUTION: I would use on a folder only a few levels deep, if you do it on the C Drive, it might take a good 5 minutes for it to finish. :))
