Windows 7 KeyBoard shortcuts

Hello Friends!
Hope everyone having great time with your respective jobs. :)
I wanted to share some keyboard shortcuts in Windows 7 which may help us in performing a task with a combo of multiple keys that would typically require a mouse.
Windows 7 adds loads of great shortcuts for switching between apps, moving windows around your screen, moving them to another monitor altogether, and much more.
This is a quick reference list of most useful shortcuts as per my knowledge (most of them I use).
I would appreciate your inputs/any other shortcuts which you came across & what I haven't mentioned here.



1. Ctrl+Shift+N to Create a New Folder
 You could now use Ctrl+Shift+N to quickly create a new folder in Windows or anywhere on your computer where a folder can be created.

2. Ctrl+Shift+Click to Open a Program As Administrator
 You just need to point your mouse cursor on that program and then click on it while pressing Ctrl+Shift keys to open it as administrator.

3. Shift+Right-Click Enhances Send to Menu (if u r using Flash Drive)
 Now, if I press the Shift key, and while having it pressed, I right click on the icon, I get an enhanced send to menu.

4. Shift+Right-Click on a Folder to Open Command Prompt
 If you do Shift+right-click on a folder, you’ll find an option that says “Open command windows here.” If you love working with the command prompt, this option should come in handy.

5. Win+Space to Quickly Show Desktop
 Pressing the Win key and the space bar simultaneously shows you the desktop immediately.

6. Win+Up/Down/Left/Right for Moving the Active Window
 If you intend to quickly move the active window to make space for other apps, you could do that by using the Win key and one of the arrow keys. Each arrow key would move the window in the direction it is meant to.

7. For Dual Monitors: Win+Shift+Left Arrow Key to Move Active Window to Left Monitor
8. For Dual Monitors: Win+Shift+Right Arrow Key to Move Active Window to Right Monitor
9. Win+T to Get to Taskbar Items
10. Shift+Click on a Taskbar App to Open a New Instance of the App
Let’s say you’ve got a bunch of Chrome windows open. And you need to quickly open a new blank window of the browser. Here’s the way – point your cursor to the chrome icon on the taskbar, hit Shift and click on it.

11. Win+B to Move Focus to the System Tray
12. Win+P for Quickly Connecting Your Laptop to a Projector
13. Win+1, Win+2..so on for Opening Taskbar Programs
14. Win+Pause helps you check System Properties
15. Ctrl+Shift+Esc Can Quickly Pops up the Windows Task Manager

Be like the Google homepage.. Simple, yet most useful..

Have a great time... Njoy...
