Whether you are looking at my http://www.letrobdoit.com/ website or writing me an email or reading my newsletter on the Lawrence Kansas Real Estate market, Windows keys' shortcuts will help you navigate between windows, help you find something on your computer, and many other things.
The Windows key appears in different locations on different keyboards but it has 4 "wavy" windows on the key (the Microsoft Windows Logo). Here's the list in alphabetical order. Try them out...they won't hurt your computer and will help you save time.
Tap the Windows key to get the Start Menu to appear. This allows you to keep your hands on the keyboard if you are typing so you don't have to grab your mouse, move the cursor to the Start button, and then click to get the Start Menu.
Hold the Windows key down and then tap the D key to minimize all windows. Repeating Windows-D will restore all the windows.
Hold the Windows key down and then tap the E key to display Windows Explorer.
Hold the Windows key down and then tap the F key to search for files on your computer. NOTE: Downloading Google Desktop is a much faster way of searching for files on your computer.
Hold the Windows key down and hold down the CTRL key then tap the F key to search for a computer if you are on a network.
Hold the Windows key down and then tap the F1 key to display Windows Help.
Hold the Windows key down and then tap the L key to "lock" the keyboard. NOTE: If you have a password for your user account, your password will need to be entered. If you don't have a password, this doesn't really lock the keyboard but takes you out to the user accounts on the computer.
Hold the Windows key down and then tap the M key to minimize all windows.
Hold the Windows key down and the shift key then tap the M key to undo minimize all windows.
Hold the Windows key down and then tap the R key to display the "Run" menu. NOTE: If you have not used this before, type in the word calc and click ok or tap the enter key. The Calc program will load.
Hold the Windows key down and then tap the U key to open the Utility Manager which will also open the Narrator which you can have all kinds of fun with!
Hold the Windows key down and then tap the "Break" key to open the System Properties menu.
To navigate through the real estate shortcuts that will save you time in the sale or purchase of your home, give me a call.
Thanks and "Don't keep me a secret--I'm never too busy for your referrals!"

Rob,
Thanks for sharing these. Some of them I knew most of them I didn't!
