Windows Your favourite keyboard shortcut.

Mainly Windows ones I suppose but I think mine has to be windows key + D for desktop. Or possibly Alt-F4 to close a program.

This might sound like a stupid thread but I think it's useful stuff

 

Windows + L to lock the server.

And hitting F4 to repeat the last thing you did in Word/Excel/Access etc.

 

Only use win&D, ctrl&C, ctrl&V regularly, but often use ctrl&B to bold text in excel.
Ohh and ctrl+alt&del

 

Alt+Tab for switching between windows, or Ctrl+Tab for switching between tabs in Firefox. WIN+L too.

- H.

 

shift+del and shift+insert r0xx0rs

also like windows+e win+d alt+4

 

Use Win+D a lot also F5 is always a good one, but my fave has to be Ctrl+Shift+Esc for the task manager.

Also Alt+Tab when the boss is coming and I'm on bit!

 

Ohh yeh, that gets a lot of action here at work

 

Alt+F4, Alt+Tab, Ctrl+Tab (Firefox), Ctrl+Shift+Z/X/C/V/A/S/Q (All winamp universal shortcuts so i don't have to Alt+Tab from a game), Windows+E, Windows+R. That's about it really, Ctrl+Alt+Del as well, to bring up the Windows 2000 menu, rather than to reboot the computer . Shame i can't use Win+L on Win2k, that'd be useful.

 

Win + C and the first person to tell me what I use it for will get a cookie.

 

I'm fond of W for forward, S for backward, A for left and D for right. Oh wait probably wrong shortcuts

I use Win+D all the time and F5

Does nobody use user-defined k/b shortcuts?

<ctrl><alt>F opens Firefox, W for Word, E for Explorer, D for Corel Draw, N for Notepad, etc.

 

I use alt+tab and ctrl+tab alot. Too lazy to reach over 10 inches and grab the mouse. Of course the Ctrl+C,V, and X for moving and copying files around.
Anyone here ever hear of the proggie Strokeit?
I'll look for the link but it's kinda the same.
Use your mouse to "draw" symbols on the desktop to access programs and execute commands.

 

Probably just ctrl-x/c/v because I use them the most. And I overuse ctrl-s when I'm paranoid about some program crashing and losing my work

 

most used: win+r, then a cmd.

use ctrl-tab a lot at work when i have 4 or 5 excel's open ... (if you dont know, it works for any program with multiple windows open - try photochop or word, or excel) alt-tab to get to other programs ...

win-m works wonders for getting to those fresh downloads ...
ctrl-mousewheel for people that dont know how to size thier fonts correctly, and i mash f11 quite a bit on mom's pc, as it only does 800x600.

and i ritually hit ctrl-s in excel at work every time i fill a cell. damn network drives are about as stable as Crispin Glover with a 50 rock. we do our truck log, and our lot&dock inventories in excel ... if i lose a truck log, i get fired. no questions asked.

 

I don't mean to jack the thread, but here's the link I was talking about earlier.
StrokeIt It's kinda the opposite. Shortcuts with your mouse.

 

hmm, i use so many, i can't decide. either alt+TAB, F5, alt+F4, or the volume dial on my MX Duo keyboard.

 

Ctrl + Alt + Delete.
It's a classic.

 

'doze + d and ctrl + w for switching apps to my 2nd display.

 

I use Win+L all the time. I'm paranoid about people going on my computer and screwing with it, so every time I get up, even if it's only to go to the bathroom or something, as I'm in a room with two other people.

And also, the CTRL-Z/X/C/V/B/I/U, ALT-TAB, and CTRL-TAB.

So Lynx...what is WIN+C for?? I googled it and couldn't find anything on it (I didn't look too hard, but it still wasn't in a few of the first shortcut pages that came up)

 

Ctrl+Shift+Esc, Ctrl+X/C/V and Win+L.
