Save Time with Computer, Use Windows Shortcuts


If you are not a computer expert (like me, a simple common man), you might be doing your computer work, like surfing & other works by a lengthier process, like writing www, .com, going to start button & then going to My Computer, Folders etc. You can save a lot of time by using Windows Shortcuts.
Here are some common Windows Shortcuts to speed up your work & save time:
Press F1- Windows Help will open.
Press F5- Webpage will be Refreshed.
Press Ctrl & C together to copy a  selected item.
Press Ctrl & V together to Paste a  selected item.
Press Ctrl & X together to cut a selected item.

Some very useful shortcuts:
Press Ctrl & Esc button together to open START window.
Press Ctrl & Tab to scroll different webpages. Normally when you open more than one window in a browser, you minimize one window to see other window/webpage. By this Windows Shortcut, i.e. by keep pressing Ctrl & then clicking Tab button you can view your multiple windows.
Press Alt & F4 together to  close a window.
To rename a File/Folder just Press F2.
When you delete a file or folder, it is sent to Recycle Bin & ultimately the space of your computer is not freed. If you want to delete a File/Folder permanently without sending it to Recycle bin, Press Shift & Delete together.
If you are Playing a Game or watching a Movie in Full Screen, just click the Windows Logo button on your key board, to show the Task bar, then you can close the program or shift to other window. It is also helpful in shutting down the system when the game or Movie is hanged & you can't see the Task Bar to shut down the computer or close the program.
Now Two of my Favourite Windows Shortcuts to save time & speed up your Work:
Press Windows Logo & E button simultaneously to go to My Computer directly, to see your Files, Partition.
When you open a webpage in a browser (IE, Firefox etc), you write the www. then webpage name & then .com. Now try this: Just write the website name without writing www. & .com words & click Ctrl & Enter together. The word www. & .com will be automatically written in browser. For example if you want to go to http://www.microsoft.com  just write microsoft & Press Ctrl  & Enter button together, see no need to write http:// www. or .com  :-)
This is applicable only for .com websites.
