Presenting this time in front of you a list of some selected Shortcuts that You can use in your daily life on your computer or laptop.

Shortcuts are really very grateful.From doing work in seconds and maintaining good speed on computer these shortcuts are really helpful.

Getting used to using your keyboard exclusively and leaving your mouse behind will make you much more efficient at performing any task on any Windows system. I use the following keyboard shortcuts every day:

Windows key + R = Run menu

This is usually followed by:

:: cmd = Command Prompt

:: iexplore + "web address" = Internet Explorer

:: compmgmt.msc = Computer Management

:: dhcpmgmt.msc = DHCP Management

:: dnsmgmt.msc = DNS Management

:: services.msc = Services

:: eventvwr = Event Viewer

:: dsa.msc = Active Directory Users and Computers

:: dssite.msc = Active Directory Sites and Services

:: Windows key + E = Explorer

:: LT + Tab = Switch between windows

:: ALT, Space, X = Maximize window

:: CTRL + Shift + Esc = Task Manager

:: Windows key + Break = System properties

:: Windows key + F = Search

:: Windows key + D = Hide/Display all windows

:: CTRL + C = copy

:: CTRL + X = cut

:: CTRL + V = paste

Also don't forget about the "Right-click" key next to the right Windows key on your keyboard. Using the arrows and that key can get just about anything done once you've opened up any program.
