Press "n" to open a new message window.
Ctrl+Alt+Delete: Opens a multi-task window,
I use this when I need to close a window or app that is causeing a lag * use 'Task List'
Windows:
Ctrl+Shift+Esc: Opens the Task Manager straight away
Lots of programs:
Ctrl+P: Print
I use the text editing shortcut keys a lot:
Shift-Arrows - to select text
Ctrl-C - copy selection
Ctrl-X - cut selection
Ctrl-V - paste selection
But what's great is:
Ctrl-Z - to undo
Ctrl-Y - to redo
which also come in handy in succession for positioning me back to where I was editing in a large document after I've scroll-bar'ed to somewhere else.
Although these shortcuts are nothing fancy, they are nearly universal.
Ctrl + a: Select all -- this is really useful. :)
alt + tab. Switch between running aplication windows.
Windows Key + Tab (iirc): Does that cool windows switching thing in Vista.
Ctrl + R to refresh the page
Ctrl + D to add to favorites (internet explorer)
Well, working off of a couple of created desktop shortcuts, F6 for restart, and F7 for shutdown.
That's a pretty good idea. :)Quote:

Yeah, I use the shutdown command if I am watching a move in bed in case I fall asleep. Windows->Run-> shutdown -s -t 3600 shuts the PC down after an hour. :)
Ctrl-Z and Ctrl-Y are by far the best. Think about it: If you could do anything a computer can but in real life, wouldn't it be the ability to undo a mistake? Or repeat the best moments of life a million times over and over again? Just be careful not to undo your existence by rewinding your birth. XDQuote:
