XP Shortcuts

Why shortcuts? Because someone thought when XP was designed(all Microsoft products have them and they are not the only), to make thing even easier. They are fast and very helpful.

I'm going to tell you about copy or cut/paste shortcuts, but the ones that not many know about. here is a list:

These are some of the most used:

Start + M: Minimizes all open windows
Start + Shift + M: Maximizes All Windows
Start + E: Runs Windows Explorer
Start + R: Open the RUN Dialog Box
Start + F: Open the Search Results Dialog box
Start + CTRL + F: Opens the Search Results-Computer dialog Box (if the
computer is connected to a network)
Start + Pause (Break): Opens the System Properties Dialog Box
Start+U+U: Shutdown(the fastest if you don't have a specific key for this)
