1. Copy, Paste or Undo a File Move
The key commands Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V and Ctrl+Z are handy for copying, pasting and deleting text. These can as well be applied to files.
2. Select and Highlight Applications in the Taskbar
To select and highlight applications in the Taskbar, hold down the Windows key, press T, and use the arrow keys or type T repeatedly. This lets you scroll through the pinned applications without ever touching your mouse.
3. Open an Application
To start an application that is pinned to the taskbar, hold the Windows key and press the number that corresponds with its location (Win+number from one to nine).
4. Manage Your Applications
To open a new window of the same application (for example, to open a new Chrome window or a second Desktop folder), hold the Shift key, the Window key and then a number from one to nine. If you want to page through the open windows, press Control, Window, and a number, from one to nine.
5. Pin Any Item to the Taskbar
By default, Windows only lets you pin applications to the taskbar. But if you want to pin a different item like a file or folder, follow these easy steps.
* Drag and drop the file onto your desktop
* Type in: explorer "C:shortcutsFavorites - ShortcutName.lnk"
* Name the shortcut
* The Shortcut will now appear as a folder, which you can right click to pin to the taskbar
6. Access the Secret "Send To" Menu
Did you know that there is a secret "Send To" menu that you can access with the Shift key? Hold down Shift, right-click the folder and select the "Send To" menu. This lets you access a whole new set of file locations, so you can quickly re-locate a folder without the hassle.
7. Open Any File or Webpage
The Run Command is an easy way to open any file, application or website. Use the Win+R keyboard shortcut to open the Run dialog box. From here, type in the name of any application and hit Enter. You can also enter a URL directly into this field to open up any webpage.
8. Create a Zip Folder
A zip folder is the quickest way to transport a large selection of files. To create a zip folder, right click a regular file folder and select the "Send To" option. The "Compressed (zipped) Folder" option will compress your folder and make it easier to upload the files.
