Windows XP TechTip #12 >> Shortcuts

Hotkeys or shortcut keys increase your computing productivity tenfold.

Here's a few of them that you could definitely use for your everyday computing.

[Windows Button]+D Hides/shows the Desktop
[Windows Button]+L Locks the workstation (Thanks to ngehehe)
[Windows Button]+R Spawns a "Run" dialog (Thanks to kimo)
[Windows Button]+F Launches the Search module
[Windows Button]+E Starts the Windows Explorer
[Windows Button]+PauseBreak Shows the System Properties

Actually, I am encouraging you to use them always.

They really help a lot. ^__^

    [Windows Button] + L >> to lock the computer, replacement of ctrl + alt + delete + pressing Lock Computer button. Or switching user. :P

    Oi, Chris!

    Hehe, here's one, pero medyo walang kwenta:

    [Windows Key]+U >> Launches the Utilities Dialog Box (Magnifier, Narrator, and some other stuff)
