The BIG Keyboard shortcut list.

What exactly is the allure of keyboard shortcuts? Do they really save time? I mean,
why bother if your mouse is permanently attached to your hand, right?

Well, I like to use keyboard shortcuts quite a bit, especially if someone is watching me,

because they make me look like a pro! With just a few key strokes,
I can leave a mouse spinning his wheel. So, whatever your motivation,

here's a big list of keyboard shortcuts for you to try out. I hope you enjoy them!

General Shortcuts

ALT + F4 - Quit a program/Shut down.

ALT + TAB - Hold down the ALT key and hit the Tab key to cycle through open windows.

CTRL + ESCAPE - Display the Start menu.

SHIFT + TAB - Tab backward through a form.

CTRL + X - Cut

CTRL + C - Copy

CTRL + V - Paste

F1 - Help menu

CTRL + Z - Undo

SHIFT & Restart - To restart just Windows and not your whole computer,
hold down the Shift key when you click the OK button on the shutdown screen.
This will save you a lot of time.

CRTL + TAB - Navigate tabs on a tabbed screen.

File and Desktop Shortcuts

Hold SHIFT while inserting a CD - Prevents the CD from "autorunning."

If an item is selected:

CTRL while dragging a file copies the file.

CTRL + SHIFT while dragging a file creates a shortcut to the file.

SHIFT + DELETE - Deletes an item without sending it to the Recycle Bin.

ALT + ENTER - Display a file's properties.

F2 - Rename a file.

In Windows Explorer:

LEFT ARROW - Collapse the current selection if it's expanded.

NUM LOCK + MINUS SIGN ( - ) - Collapse the selected folder.

NUM LOCK + PLUS SIGN ( + ) - Expand the selected folder.

RIGHT ARROW - Expand the current selection if it is collapsed or select
the first subfolder.

NUM LOCK + * (asterisk sign) - Expand all folders below the current selection.

F6 - Switch between left and right panes.

In My Computer:
