It's not Start --> Run

[Rip the Jacker]

It's windows key + R

(same thing, but a little faster -_-)

/bows before your l33tness

It's also CTRL+SHIFT+ESC, not CTRL+ALT+DEL then click on Task Manager (or pressing T).

edit: And, I find ALT+SPACE and then C much faster than ALT+F4

 

[Goosemaster]

dude..that's hot

 

[Valhalla1]

Indeed,
CTRL+SHIFT+ESC ALT+F N is l33ter than WIN+R

 

[Goosemaster]

seriously, the only ones anyone will ever need are

WK + r
alt + tab
wk + L
wk + u

 

[Fullmetal Chocobo]

win + E is still my favorite.

 

[Valhalla1]

also i recommend a program called "hoekey" for easy customisable WIN+__ hotkeys for common applications (WIN+N notepad WIN+C calc win+x firexox etc)

Thankfully my keyboard doesn't have a windows key

Talk nerdy to me.

I have a keyboard like that on my [yet in progress of being set up] server and it gets really irritating, especially since I use WIN+R so much.

Goosemaster: I should've mentioned WIN+L. I use it tons of times, and I love it.



Also, don't forget the Winamp Hotkeys. It's wicked!

All of the following are a combination of Ctrl+Alt+[letter below]:

Insert = Play
Home = Pause
End = Stop
Pg Up = Previous in playlist
Pg Dn = Next in playlist
Up arrow = Volume up
Dn arrow = Volume down
Right Arrow = Forward [by 5 secs is default]
Left Arrow = Rewind [by 5 secs is default]
L = Open file dialog
J = Jump to box [though I've never used it]

You have to enable it in Winamp in the Preferences > Global Hotkeys.

Do you work tech support? I do... good luck telling someone to hit their start button or windows key.... they wont get it... more pain than it is worth

wk + D = favorite.
wk + break is also little known.

It's a little known fact that Win + Break is actually Win + Pause. Try it on a laptop with seperate Break and Pause keys.

Since it's my beloved IBM Model M i'm very happy as it is A nice bonus is that i get properly sized keys on the bottom row, and i don't mind a few extra clicks of the mouse, i'm never in THAT much of a hurry

It is windows key + U.

I didn't even know it existed.

heh, answered my own question

 

[spidey07]

meh, ALT-ESC, up arrow 3 times, return works better.

QFTFT!

I've had to resort to "click on the green button at the bottom left" as well before. apparently, the person somehow missed the giant white letters that spell out "start."

 

[ForumMaster]

i use wk+d so much and i use the wk+[pause/break]. it's so useful.

 

[The Pentium Guy]

winkey+R for everything...

winword, mspaint, calc, iexplore, firefox, cmd, etc.
