Windows 7 Keyboard Shortcuts

Keyboard shortcuts are great time savers.  Knowing a few useful ones can help you get more done in less time and feel more in control of your computer.


Windows 7 has added some new keyboard shortcuts that are worth learning.  Here are a few of my favorites:

• Windows + Shift + Left/Right arrow = Move active window to left/right monitor
• Windows + Left/Right = Snap active window to left/right of screen
• Shift + Click icon on taskbar = Open a new instance
• Middle-click icon on taskbar = Open a new instance
• Ctrl + Shift + Click icon on taskbar = Open a new instance with Administrator privileges

Microsoft has a comprehensive list of all of the Windows 7 keyboard shortcuts at the following address:
