Windows Key Shortcuts II

Submitted by pcsnpixels on December 30, 2005 - 9:08pm.

We featured this particular tip about a year ago, but it bears repeating. Also, I discovered a few additions.

The Windows Key (located between the Ctrl and Alt keys on your keyboard) allows you to push it and another key to gain quick access to some Windows utilities and programs. Here are the combos:

* Windows Key + F = Find
* Windows Key + E = Windows Explorer (my favorite)
* Windows Key + R = Run
* Windows Key + M = Minimize all open windows so that you can see your desktop again (Windows Key + D will do the same thing)
* Windows Key + C = Control Panel
* Windows Key + Pause/Break = System Properties
* Windows Key + P = Printers Folder
* Shift+Windows Key + M = Undo minimize all windows
* Windows Key + K = opens Keyboard properties
* Windows Key + I = Open Mouse Properties

If this helped, consider buying me a beer or an Americano!
