More Windows Shortcuts

Posted on December 18, 2008 by LJ

A recent article (How To Minimize All Windows To The Taskbar) talked about a windows shortcut I find helpful generated some comments listing other shortcuts. I thought I would present a list of other shortcut keys that can make things easier. This list is based on the Microsoft Article.

Key Function
Windows Logo Start Menu
Windows + R Opens the Run dialog box
Windows + M Minimize all open windows
Shift + Windows + M Undo minimize all
Windows + F1 Windows Help
Windows + E Windows Explorer
Windows + F Find files or folders
Windows + D Minimizes windows, displays the desktop (this is a toggle, doing it again will restore everything)
Windows + L Lock the computer
Windows + Tab Cycles through taskbar buttons
Windows + Break Shows system properties dialog

You can also set up your own shortcuts by choosing Properties from the right-click context menu of any program in the start menu, and choose a shortcut key.
