Windows 7 Shortcut Keys

Windows 7 shortcut keys can save lots of time. For a great list of what is possible, use the following links:
  • Computer Productivity
  • Microsoft
Some of my favorites include:
  • WinKey + Left arrow = Fill left half screen w/current window
  • WinKey + Right arrow = Fill right half screen w/current window 
  • WinKey + Up arrow = Maximize
  • WinKey + Down arrow = Minimize
