Keyboard Shortcuts

Wanna impress your boss? Act smart to your teachers? Just wanna be lazier? (No, that's not the right word... Um... heh, got no other way to put it.) Then learn these keyboard shortcuts!

Here are a few I've can remember from the top of my head:

General Shortcuts:

CTRL+C= Copy

CTRL+A= Select All

CTRL+V= Paste

CTRL+Z= Undo

CTRL+S= Save current document/website

(When you've selected something) DELETE= Delete

(When you've selected a folder/file) SHIFT+DELETE= Deletes file without sending it to the Recycle Bin.

(While dragging a folder/file) CTRL= Copies the selected item to the new place.

(When you've selected a file/folder) F2= Rename

SHIFT= Select more than one file/folder with mouse OR select text within document with arrow keys.

F3= Search for a file/folder

ALT+ENTER= View the properties of the selected folder(s)/file(s)

ALT+F4= Close the active window

ALT+TAB= My favorite shortcut of them all! This one cycles throught every window you have by repeatedly pressing the TAB button while holding the ALT button!

ALT+ESC= Cycle through windows in the order they were opened

F5= Refresh the active window

BACKSPACE= Go back once in Windows Explorer or your browser (only works when there's no typing action in the windows)

ESC= Cancels the current task

(When you insert a CD into the CD-ROM drive) SHIFT= Prevents CD from autoplaying

Microsoft "Natural" Keyboard Shortcuts:

Windows Logo= Show or hide the start menu

Windows Logo+BREAK= Open the system properties window (easier than right-clicking on My Computer and clicking Properties!)

Windows Logo+D= Show desktop

Windows Logo+E= Open My Computer

Windows Logo+F= Search for a file or folder

Windows Logo+L=Locking the keyboard and computer

Windows Logo+R= Open the Run window

Windows Logo+U= Open the Utility Manager
