keyboard shortcuts

[Wetzel]

win+f = search files/folders
win+u = Utility Manager (turn on the narator )
crtl+shift+esc=Opens Task Manager
win+e=Opens My computer

Those are the only Windows only commands that I can remember.

If you are trying to find a way to switch between windows without using the mouse, instead of minimizing and maximizing, just hold down ALT and keep pressing TAB until you get the window you want. Then, let go of the ALT key to bring that window to the front.

Ctrl+Enter will put the http://www. and .com around anything you type in the IE address bar and then it will take you there. I use it all the time. I don't know if there's a command for .net or .org or any other extensions.

"alt" + "F4" will close the most recently opened program(s). This also works well for pop up ads.
Another thing you could do is click on "help" at the top of a program and type in "keyboard shortcut" and click "search" and you can get a list of keyboard shortcuts. You can even print them out to keep them handy. I just tried this with Excel to see if it would work and it did. Just keep in mind that some of the shortcuts might differ from program to program.

in IE:
backspace or alt+left = back
alt+right = forward
tab = next field
shift+tab = last field

in word (or most text editing things (including text boxes and such))
ctrl+right = next word
ctrl+left = last word
ctrl+up = last paragraph
ctrl+down = next
