Cool Bet you never know this secrets


Getting used to using your keyboard exclusively and leaving your mouse behind will make you much more efficient at performing any task on any Windows system. I use the following keyboard shortcuts every day:

Windows key + R = Run menu

This is usually followed by:
cmd = Command Prompt
iexplore + "web address" = Internet Explorer
compmgmt.msc = Computer Management
dhcpmgmt.msc = DHCP Management
dnsmgmt.msc = DNS Management
services.msc = Services
eventvwr = Event Viewer
dsa.msc = Active Directory Users and Computers
dssite.msc = Active Directory Sites and Services
Windows key + E = Explorer

ALT + Tab = Switch between windows

ALT, Space, X = Maximize window

CTRL + Shift + Esc = Task Manager

Windows key + Break = System properties

Windows key + F = Search

Windows key + D = Hide/Display all windows

CTRL + C = copy

CTRL + X = cut

CTRL + V = paste

Also don't forget about the "Right-click" key next to the right Windows key on your keyboard. Using the arrows and that key can get just about anything done once you've opened up any program.

These are hardly secrets dude! But well done on making such a comprehensive list!

A cool tip. Just make a shortcut of anything in the %systemroot%:\WINDOWS\Ststem32 directory and rename it to anything convenient. You can now run that by typing its name into the " run" box.

either this guy is dumb or he is acting dumb ... he has been told in every post of his that he should mention sources and the stuff he is posting is pretty old and even posted often on this forum itself

If you want to copy-paste, please do so and mention the source!
But atleast don't give a title that sounds 'Larger than life!'

No offence, but when you say 'new' or 'latest', our expectations from a thread increase.
