Not so much a W7 exclusive thread, but what are some of your favorite shortcuts. Either keyboard or using mouse.

So far quite a nice one is WIndows key + arrow keys. Left and right is the same as flinging (for example) windows explorer to the left of your monitor, where it splits it 50 percent vertical. Windows + up arrow maximizes, Windows + Down restores it to how it was.

Also works in Vista: Windows key + Tab (add shift to scroll otherway).

Right click on the task bar, and you can get to task manager (I use that quite a bit for some reason).

Right click on Start and you can get to Windows Explorer (if you can't be bothered to press windows + E for example).

Anyone else know of a few shortcuts that aren't particularly well known... mine probably are well known but still.

 

I know, hence why I said "not so much windows 7 exclusive". I just mentioned your favs in general, but in particular any new tips and tricks in W7.

 

Wow you are making a big deal of it. Because I can't add "Windows 7 shortcuts are prefered, but any windows shortcuts as long as not many people use them in your experience" as a thread title.

I also added it in my opening post. If you want to add something feel free, otherwise you aren't exactly being helpful.

Basically I am looking for new windows 7 shortcuts, but ones that work in previous versions are fine to mention if they aren't well known.

 

You haven't touched a nerve, but all you are doing is complaining about a thread title?

The one you mentions would not apply, because I would *PREFER* windows 7 shortcuts over windows Vista and below, but if a shortcut is particularly useful that you use a lot feel free to bundle it in.

If you can't offer a reply that has shortcuts / suggestions why post to complain about a thread title? It just derails the thread?

 

I derailed my thread by adding a title that is basically accurate but also I add a clause inside the thread?

So you are telling me that the topic of a thread should be completely entirely inside the title and contain nothing else what so ever?

Have to admit though Windows R is pretty useful, especially since 90 percent of people don't have the run command on their start menu.

 

Windows D and windows M work.

Windows + space (which I didn't know to just now! ) basically is the peek it seems, yes.

 

No, it's because most people are excited about Windows 7, and I imagine if you own an OS or not most people will click a thread about shortcuts. (since there isn't 1 million shortcuts specific just to Windows 7 especially).

You're just making a big deal out of nothing, seemingly just to either be annoying or difficult. No one else is put off with it, but whatever makes you happy.

 

It isn't touching on a nerve, I just feel like you are being a tad silly on focusing on a title.
