Here’s a handy little list of useful Vista keyboard shortcuts:
- Win + d – show Desktop
- Win + f- search for files
- Win + g – cycles through Gadget selections
- Win + l – lock your computer
- Win + m – minimize windows
- Win + t - cycles through Taskbar programs
- Win + u – activate the ‘Ease of Use’ Center
- Win + x – cycle through the ‘Mobility’ Center
- Win + Spacebar – bring Gadgets to the front
Also – if you use the Quick Launch toolbar, pressing the Win key + a number (from the top row of the keyboard) will launch the corresponding application in the Quick Launch toolbar.
e.g. if your first 4 Quick Launch icons are Outlook, Word, Excel, PowerPoint – If you press Win+2, that will start up Word, Win+4 will start Powerpoint and so on. This only applies to the first 10 QuickLaunch icons Win+0 being the last).
