Windows shortcuts, quick-keys........what are some good ones?

[syborgs]

The ones i use most are CTRL-N for opening new windows, CTRL-Z for undo, and CTRL-C and V for copy/paste. What the shortcuts for MAXIMIZING/MINIMIZING windows? (other than using alt-tab) I bet theres probably dozens ...for almost every function built into windows..

Where would i go to look em up? Are they hidden somewhere in windows help files? some cool site out there? What are your personal favorites? Thanks for helping me out...

Go to www.thescreensavers.com. They just had a show tonight on different hot-keys. You'll have to find the link once you're at that page.

Try using the windows key with E for Explore, D for show/restore desktop, F for Find and R for Run. Also Windows Key + Pause brings up System Properties. Shift+F10 is the same as a right-click. Alt + Left Arrow and Alt + Right Arrow take you back and forth in IE.

You can also use Alt+Spacebar to open the control icon of an application, thus to minimize the current application you would press Alt+Spacebar, together, then N and so forth.
