Using Keyboard Shortcuts in Microsoft Windows
Windows XP/7/Vista/8:
1. Alt-Enter - opens the highlighted file or folder's Properties dialog.
2. Highlight a folder In Windows Explorer and press Shift-NumPadAsterisk to open the folder and all subfolders.
3. Click in Windows Explorer's details pane, then press Ctrl-NumPadPlus to set the size of each column exactly as wide as it’s largest item.
4. Highlight a file or folder and pressing Shift-Del will delete it permanently, bypassing the Recycle Bin,
Windows key combinations
When you press Windows key on your keyboard, it will bring up the Start menu. However, there are many more combinations with additional keybards that you can use:
1. Win-D combination toggles between showing the desktop and restoring all windows.
2. Win-E combination opens the Windows Explorer window.
3. Win-L combination locks your system until you enter your password, or lets you switch active users, if you're using Fast User Switching.
4. Win-M combination minimizes all windows.
5. Win-R combination brings up the Run dialog.
6. Win-S, in Microsoft Word 2002 or later, invokes Windows' text-to-speech engine, which will read either highlighted text or everything from the cursor on.
7. Win-U opens the Utility Manager, which controls accessibility program options.
8. Win-Pause/Break combination opens the System Properties dialog.
Other Combinations
1. Ctrl-Esc will bring up your Start menu, if you for some reason don’t have the Windows key. You cannot perform windows-key combo commands with this shortcut, though.
2. To create your own keyboard shortcuts to your program:
• right-click on its shortcut icon (in the Start menu or on the desktop),
• click in the Shortcut key field and press a key of your choice.
• Ctrl-Alt-that key will now start the program.
Note: If you don't want the combination of Ctrl-Alt, you can also press Ctrl-Shift-x, Shift-Alt-x, or Ctrl-Shift-Alt-x instead. Please note that you cannot use Esc, Enter, Tab, Space, Print Scrn, Del, and Backspace – as they are reserved for other functions.
