From casual computer users to those of us who want to get the absolute most out of our work time, keyboard shortcuts can be a convenient way of streamlining your activity. If you type a lot like I do, your preference is probably to have both hands on the keyboard as often as possible. Windows 7 comes with some great WIN key combinations that can help quicken your pace.
| Shortcut | Function |
|---|---|
| WIN+L | Locks your screen so that anyone coming to your computer must put in your password to unlock it and continue working |
| WIN + Up or Down Arrow | Toggles between minimizing or maximizing the currently selected window |
| WIN + Left or Right Arrow | Toggles position of the currently selected window to include half-screen snap (also useful for multiple monitors) |
| WIN + Spacebar | Previews the desktop by making all the open windows transparent |
| WIN + 1 through 0 | Launches items in the corresponding order that are pinned to your taskbar |
| WIN + Home | Minimizes all windows except for the current one |
| SHIFT + DEL | Permanently deletes the selected file/email bypassing the recycle bin or delete items folder |
