Submitted by: Administrator

There are a lot of new shortcuts to save you time in Windows 7. A few of our favorites are:

► Win + Up - Maximize Current Window
► Win + Down - Restore, or Minimize Current Window
► Win + Left or Right - Snap active window to the left or right side of the screen
► Win + Space - Aero Peek at the desktop
► Win + Shift + Up - Stretch a window to the top/bottom of the screen
► Win + Shift + Left or Right - Move a window to the left or right monitor (Multi-Monitor setups only)
► “Shake” a window by its menu bar to hide all other open windows. Shake again to restore.
► Win + Tab - Windows Flip3D (a very fancy alt-tab)

On the taskbar:

► Drag a program shortcut to the taskbar - Pins the program
► Win + T - Selects the taskbar, so you can navigate with the arrow keys
► Shift + L-Click or Middle-Click on a pinned program - Launch a 2nd instance of the program
► Ctrl + Shift + L-Click on a pinned program - Launch program with admin rights
► Ctrl + L-Click on a pinned program, cycle through the active windows one by one (similar to alt-tab)
