10 Windows XP keyboard shortcuts to speed everyday tasks

These short cuts are my staple in Windows
Photogenic Memory - 10/17/07 ctrl + a = to select all item in folder
ctrl + left click = to select items one at a time
ctrl + x = to cut an item select selected
ctrl + c = to copy an item selected
ctrl + v = to paste the selected items whether cut or copied
ctrl + alt + delete = to summon task manager, logoff, shutdown, or change password screen. (This will summon a program task killer in Win98 or
reboot it).
Also most people forget the power of the *Menu Key* which is right next to the alt and Windows key. This is on the Devorak simplified layout.

Quick Keyboard starting programs in XP..

nodisalsi@... - 10/18/07 In the Start menu when you have added links to the applciations you most frequently use; rename them (right-click and
rename or menu key and n) with a preceeding number 0 - 9.
Then I just press Windows key followed by a digit to quick start a frequently used application.
For example:
Mozilla Firefox ... pinned to start menu
3 Firefox ... renamed.
Now I just tap Windows then 3 to start Firefox. Reply

Oldies
Fablanta - 10/26/07 The old timers out there will still remember the old Delete, Copy and Paste key combos. These still function in XP (Haven't
tried Vista yet). They are:

SHIFT + INSert = Paste
SHIFT + DELete = Cut
CTRL + INSert = Copy
In my opinion, much more intuitive than V, X and C especially for the beginner. Reply

Complete [possibly] list of available shortcuts in Windows and Office
Adam Eisenberg - 11/12/07 Since we are talking about working with XP I recommend you use also various combinations with Start key such as
Start+Pause to open the System dialog box although keep in mind the [url=http://support.microsoft.com/kb/839573]following[/url], Start+D to
quickly switch to the desktop by minimizing all open windows as returning back to the open window when you press the combination again. For
users that work in corporate environments and have a desktop screensaver start after a 10 minutes timeout and up but want to hide their
desktops immediately when they leave their workplace, I recommend using the well-known Start+L shortcut that locks the computer when you
press it. A more detailed list of shortcuts available to use can be [url=http://support.microsoft.com/kb/301583]found here[/url]. A good
contribution will be the list of shortcuts available in [url=http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290938]Word 2002 and Office Word 2003[/url]

Keyboard...
Penguin_me - 11/16/07 Two things, 1) It's DVORAK (the first 6 letters of the top line on the keyboard) and 2) on a QWERTY keyboard the
"Menu" key is between the right CTRL and Windows key. Reply

First 6 characters on the Top Line of the DVORAK
LurkeyLou - 05/22/08 are not "DVORAK." Perhaps you were talking about the QWERTY keyboard.
The 1st 6 characters on the top line of the DVORAK keyboard are: ',.pyf Reply

Wrong Description of the Key
iwaheed - 10/21/07 Sorry to say but (Win + L) key is not the log off XP key, it actully lock the work station manually. Reply
3.3.
Win+L locks or switches
NickNielsen - 10/25/07 Pressing Win+L locks the workstation. If you have fast user switching enabled, it returns you to the Welcome screen to
allow a new user to log on.
Pressing Win, then L will bring up the log-off dialog if you have the option enabled in the start menu. Reply

techrepublic.com.com@... - 01/13/09 [Alt]+[Shift]+[Print Screen] copies the image of the currently selected window to the clipboard. You might
have some proprietary software, likely installed for your video card, that overrides this. Reply

gdavis4@... - 10/19/07 Great stuff. You never know when a mouse may go south on you or freeze up. Thank you for the additional key strokes.
Everyone using a computer should know how to use their keyboard before they can use a mouse. Thank you for giving more users control over
their computer environment. Again, thank you. From secret of the trades. Reply

How about these
amalsp@... - 10/19/07 Win + R = Run
Win + E = Explorer
Win + D = Desktop
and btw
Win + L = Lock Computer in my PC.
CTRL + TAB move through opened windows
CTRL + Shift + Tab move backward through opened windows
Win + U = Utility manager??? Reply

not quite right shortcuts
dhays - 10/24/07 It is alt+tab that moves through windows open. In IE ctl+tab that moves you to the address line, in Lotus Notes it moves you
throught the open screens. Reply
4.1.1.1.
Nope, he's right.
techrepublic.com.com@... - 01/13/09 Nope, he's right.
Alt+Tab moves through open applications.

Ctrl+Tab does indeed move you through open windows inside an MDI application. Reply

Ctrl - Esc = Start menu
armchairmusician - 02/22/08 Then from there you can arrow almost anywhere. Reply

Or you can press Esc again
NickNielsen - 02/22/08 and tab & arrow your way around the taskbar. Reply

Thanks, and 3 more
PaulVeeGee - 10/19/07 Brilliant! For several years I have wondered what the keyboard shortcut was to minimise a window and you have now
told me. Thank you so much.
A couple that I do know and that weren't on your list (although I'm sure you already know them):
Windows button + e = Opens the Start menu
Windows button + d = Shows the desktop
Windows button + l = Logs you out Reply

Minimize all windows
HJ_Hansen@... - 10/19/07 Windows button + m = minimize all windows
I use this one often! Reply
5.1.1.
Show Desktop

RandyC-ICS - 10/19/07 Windows Key + D works like the "Show Desktop" icon. In essence it minimizes all windows and hitting it again restores
all windows to their previous state. Reply

log or lock
luthorstrange - 10/25/07 win + l = lock
win followed by l = log off Reply
5.2.1.
log or lock?
vassalloj@... - 10/25/07 Effectively both because you have to log in again with your password after using. Reply
5.2.1.1.
log or lock
luthorstrange - 10/26/07 with a lock, programs still running doing the things you want.
log off and they don't Reply

These are for total crush and a-go blind.
rlsi2k6 - 10/19/07 These is to navigate thru the Desktop and the Quick Launch and the Task Bar and Desktop itself.
First press
> Ctrl-Esc
(To access the loop of bars)
Second press
> Tab ( to jump from bar to bar )
When you select one of the bars, use:

> Left or Right Arrows (and up or Down for the Start menu)
9 of 13 19/11/2009 12:04
( to go to the icon or shortcut you are looking for )
This is in case you do not remember any of the specific programs, utilities or services shortcuts.
You just need to remember what is what, where and in what order. Reply

In addition...
sdcphoneguy - 10/23/07 Pressing the "Windows" key is the same as pressing Ctrl-Esc. Once the start menu is open you can simply press the first
letter of the program or menu you want to open. For example if you press "P" to go to Programs and then the right arrow, you will be able to
navigate your Program folder. Pressing a letter cycles through anything starting with that letter. Reply

Lost keyboard shortcuts
twobrats64 - 10/25/07 I just replaced my MS Natural keyboard with a Natural 4000 (alright, I'll admit it, I dropped a cup of coffee in the old
one!). In any case, I can no longer use shortcuts that I've gotten used to in the past (for example Shift+F5 to go back to my last edits or Shift+F3
to toggle between capital and lower case text). Can anybody tell me how to restore these shortcuts? Thanks! Reply
11.1.
Could be . . .
rpost@... - 10/26/07 I have a MS Elite keyboard and one of the annoying features is a key called "F Lock." It locks out the "F" functions of the F
keys. Try pushing this key and see if your functions come back. Reply
11.1.1.
By Jove, you've got it!
twobrats64 - 10/30/07 Thanks so much, it was really driving me crazy that I couldn't use my favorite shortcuts. Reply

A few more (for those of us who hate using a mouse ...)

cmbazan@... - 10/31/07 How about:
TAB - in order to focus on the "next" control in a web page, windows app/form/dialog, etc
SHIFT + TAB - in order to focus on the "previous" control/element into a web page, windows app/form/dialog
(both need the app/web page/etc to be focus-enabled by the programmer!)
and how about this two:

PRINTSCREEN - copies current screen into Windows' clipboard as an image
ALT+PRINTSCREEN - copies current window into Windows' clipboard as an image
(BTW: I found a keyboard -don't remember its brand, but looked like a "recent" launch- on which I couldn't apply those keys!! Arggg!!) Reply

mcp111 - 10/31/07 The print button prints everything but the shortcuts!!! Reply

andrewgleeson@... - 11/01/07 No one seems to have mentioned this one, but it's gem if you can rotate your monitor or fully open your laptop:
Ctrl + Alt + {arrow key)
try it. Reply

some practical usage?
Bob.Roy - 11/01/07 for example, how do you use your keyboard to read through the comments in this post, from one to the other quickly? and
not just Tabbing Reply

tynansdtm@... - 01/04/08 Also, holding Alt when click-and-dragging creates shortcuts, and holding shift will move them (even when default
action is copy, such as to another device). Reply

vbrucewhitehead@... - 01/17/08 I don't know why and I'm not sure how, but your list of 10+ shortcuts CANNOT BE PRINTED USING EITHER
THE BUTTON PROVIDED OR NORMAL FUNCTIONS! The only way I can see to making a hard copy of it is either by hand (NOT!) or by using a
screen capture program, such as Faststone. I occasionally see this EXTREMELY AGGRAVATING type of behavior, and my primary reaction is
always the same--HOW STUPID CAN YOU GET? As I said, all I have to do is roll out my Faststone and bingo--I've captured the content that
someone thought was so unique (usually NOT) that it would be stolen or something. Reply

It is frustrating, though. For whatever reason, the table is not rendered no matter how you choose to print the page.
