Thread: Win7 keyboard shortcuts

Windows 7 includes a number of handy keyboard shortcuts that make your life much easier.

1. Alt+P

In Windows Explorer, hitting this shortcut will display an extra file preview pane on the right hand side.

2. Windows + +, and Windows + -

Hitting any of these keys activates the magnifier, and then changes your zoom level. Only works if Aero is activated.

3. Windows + Home

Hitting this shortcut will minimize every window except the one you are working with. Press it again, and all your other windows will be restored to their original state.

4. Windows + E

This opens Windows Explorer, which automatically lands in your Libraries folder.

5. Windows + P

This shortcut helps you control multiple monitors on your computer. Hitting it activates a small pop up window with utilities associated with your displays.

Windows + Shift + Left, and Windows + Shift + Right moves your current window from one display to the next, keeping it's original proportion.

6. Windows + T

This is the new Alt + Tab, which displays a window that cycles through your programs.

7. Windows + Space

This activates the Aero Peek feature for as long as you hold down the shortcut.

8. Shift + Ctrl + Left Click

Using this shortcut while clicking on a Superbar shortcut runs it with full administrative rights.

yes you are right

Thanks for this, the multiple monitor control is going to save me some time.

Thanks for the tutorial. I gotta say my favorite shortcut is > Windows key + r < it opens "run" and i find myself using it a million times a day. Also, u can manually add a keyboard shortcut to any program u want by > right clicking on the shortcut > choosing properties > then under "shortcut key" choose a combo. I do this all the time so i never have to use my mouse.
