This is actually new to me. Because I am opening this system property window quite often throughout my day it’s going to benefit me quite a bit.
Ctrl + Shift + Esc
It opens up Windows Task Manager like below, which I normally use Ctrl+Alt+Shift and Task manager to open it. This is another time saving trick for me, hopefully to you too.
Alt + Space
It opens up the windows system menu, a menu that lets you control the basic windows behavior, like minimize, maximize, move, resize, and close. It doesn’t seem to be that useful in Windows 7 but again it might be a life saver when you don’t have the control to your mouse.
The old school F3 key
When no window was open, pressing F3 key brings up Windows Search window with the cursor automatically focuses on the search textbox.
When you are in any applications that have search function, pressing F3 brings up the search box of the application you are in at the moment. For example, if you are browsing this website in Internet Explorer, pressing F3 would opens up the Find toolbar right at the top of the page.
