Keyboard Shortcuts

Are some of you dependent on the keyboard? Well, I am and I am always on a lookout for keyboard shortcuts. Here are some of the shortcuts that i always use. However, you must have a WINKEY for these shortcuts to work. The WINKEY is a key that has a Windows Logo on it. Hope you will enjoy these shortcuts!

WINKEY + BREAK	Pops up the System Properties in the Control Panel
WINKEY + E	Runs Windows Explorer
WINKEY + F	Equivalent to the Find option at your start button
WINKEY + M	Minimizes all windows
WINKEY + D	Minimizes the current active window
WINKEY + R	Equivalent to the RUN option at your start button

After doing some research, I have finally found the shortcut keys to shutting down and restarting the system. I wonder why Microsoft has never documented all these useful stuffs...

Shutdown Windows

1. On a clear area on your desktop, right-click the mouse and Goto New -> Shortcut
2. Enter C:\WINDOWS\RUNDLL.EXE user.exe,exitwindows for the Command Line
3. Name the shortcut Shutdown Windows (or any other name you find appropriate)

Restart Windows

1. On a clear area on your desktop, right-click the mouse and Goto New -> Shortcut
2. Enter C:\WINDOWS\RUNDLL.EXE user.exe,exitwindowsexec for the Command Line
3. Name the shortcut Restart Windows (or any other name you find appropriate)
   Take Note: This shortcut will run the contents of C:\WINDOWS\DOSSTART.BAT before it restarts the system. If your DOSSTART.BAT contains something, it is recommended not to use this shortcut as it might increase your memory consumption whenever you use this shortcut.
