Best Keyboard Shortcuts

Description

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.
