Colin's Tips - Windows Key Shortcuts

I have been back in the Melbourne office for 2 weeks and some people have jokingly said they missed my weekly updates. Yes jokingly. However last week I accidentally started giving out daily Windows and Excel tips to some staff.

Well I don't know everything but it is like our customers - "you don't know what you don't know". If you already know all the following that is great!So here are some Windows tips I shared -

Windows Key (Win) shortcuts are enabled by holding the Win key while pressing another key. Some of the ones I know are below :)

Win+BREAK = Display the System Properties dialog box.
Win+D = Show the desktop.
Win+M = Minimize all windows.
Win+Shift+M = Restores minimized windows.
Win+E = Open My Computer.
Win+F = Search for a file or folder.
Win+F1 = Display Windows Help.
Win+L = Lock your computer (I user this every day :) )
Win+R = Open the Run dialog box.
Win+U = Open Utility Manager.

Have fun

Colin
