Another useful key for Internet Explorer is "F11." Go ahead and try it.
"F11" will maximize your browser, allowing you to see as much of the web
page as possible on your monitor. When you want to shrink the window back to
size, press "F11" again
Control" and "A" will select everything in your current application, which
is helpful if you want to copy and paste it later. The shift key can also be
helpful in selecting content. Click your curser in some text where you?d
like to begin selecting. Then hold shift and click again at the end of your
selection. This will select the whole block of text.
When I first got a keyboard with a windows key, I thought it was a complete
annoyance, bringing back the desktop every time I hit the thing accidentally
during a rousing game of "Quake." Thankfully, new games don?t normally work
that way, and the Windows key --hiding out down there on the left between
"control" and "alt"-- can do some neat tricks. My favorite is holding the
windows key and pressing "D." All your windows are now minimized to give you
immediate access to the desktop. When you have three or four applications
open, this is a big time-saver.
Another favorite is Windows key and "E." Windows Explorer pops open, giving
you immediate access to your files.
And If you still can?t find the file you?re looking for, try the Windows key
and "F."
You probably already know some or most of these keyboard shortcuts, but even
if one of these is new, it can speed up your computer time and become a
habit you don?t even think about. You?ll know it has become second nature
the first time someone asks, "How did you do that?"

Thanks again. I use the hell out of CNTL Z, X, C, V, B, I, and U (undo,
cut, copy, paste, bold, italicize, and underline), but never knew about the
windows key short-cuts.
