What are you favorite shortcuts when using a Windows PC?

[FearoftheNight]

Which ones do you find the most handy?

 

[BarrySotero]

Under "Start" I make shortcuts for Windows calendar, calculator, desktop and notepad (also MWSnap screencap app)

• I use Win+D to show my desktop a lot.

• I'm starting to use the new Windows 7 shortcuts more, Win+Up to maximize particularly.

• Also when I need two windows side by side then the new Win+[Left/Right] is handy.

• I use Win+R very often, whenever I need to launch notepad, charmap, mspaint, dxdiag etc.

• And one neat trick I learned a couple of months back is navigating to a folder, hold shift and right-click in the folder and select "Open command window here" to pop up a cmd in that folder.

Win+M to minimize.
Win+E for Windows Explorer

Also, any computer I'm on, I change the Notepad shortcut under Accessories so it has a keyboard shortcut: Ctrl-Alt-N. Great when I have to jot something down real quick.
