Just to add to this list
WinKey = Start Menu
WinKey + Pause/Break = Systems Properties

If you spend a lot of time altering hardware, virtual memory, then you'll use this shortcut quite often.

WinKey + M = Minimise all windows
WinKey + Shift + M = Undo minimise all windows
CTRL + x = Cut
CTRL + ESC = Start Menu
ALT + TAB = Cycle through running programs
ALT + F4 = Close running program
Hold SHIFT while entering a CD, prevents Autorunning
Hold CTRL when dragging file(s), makes copies of file(s)
SHIFT + DEL = Force Delete, doesn't send to Recycle Bin
F2 (function 2), renaming hilighted programs in Explorer/Desktop

Cheers, MC

I always use SHIFT+DEL as cut and SHIFT+INS as paste. CTRL Y is sometimes "redo."

Also, I've found that if there's something going wrong with the keys (e.g., the buttons don't seem to work), pressing CTRL+ALT+SHIFT sometimes helps.

While booting: DEL = Entering BIOS
While booting: F1 = Enering BIOS (IBM)
While booting: F10 = Entering BIOS (Compaq)
While booting F8 = Boot Menu
While booting PAUSE = Freeze the Screen

CTRL+ALT+DEL = Task-Manager

in Explorer:
ALT-Down Arrow-Enter-Enter = New Folder (!!!)

Actually, different computers have different short-cuts for those functions... Some people have F2 instead of F8, F12 instead of F10, etc...



Wait, hold on... Those aren't short-cuts anyway! They're the only keys you can press for that function, aren't they? blink.gif

Alright alright, only one key is pressed, you're totally right. But they're useful to know.
And ALT-Down Arrow-Enter-Enter = New Folder is pretty cool isn't it? biggrin.gif
