I'm just trying to figure out all the shortcuts having to do with the windows key on the keyboard. So far I've found wind + d = desktop and wind + e = explore.
Are there any more? (Specifically, I'm looking for a shortcut to start my screen saver)

WIN + M = minimize
WIN + F = Search
WIN + R = Run
WIN + H = Help
If you have webshots, its screensaver default is CTRL + SHIFT + S
Else, you can create a shortcut to your screensaver, and set its keyboard shortcut property.
I've always wished that WIN + I would open up IE. It seems logical and most convenient. Anyone know how to get this done, without having to add an icon to my desktop? I hate a cluttered desktop, you see? :D
Use a Macro tool, and you can do anything...;)Quote:

Sorry, I'm not a programmer. What do you mean by using a macro tool?
It records the step you do. You have it in Word, you have it in Excel, you have it in VC++, and so on.
If you click your mouse, adds some text, makes it bold, and green, and deletes a few characters, and so on. Then you can reply that macro later on. You can assign shorkeys to it, and then you can just press that short key next time to do the same.
There is apps like that you can use on Windows. Havn't used them in a long time. So you can actualy make a shorkey to open IE, go to this page, and post some SPAM with a simple keypress...;)
I know what a macro is, you blithering nincompoop. Do I look like a non-programmer to you? :mad:Quote:

The microsoft article I posted was useful enough to get CTRL+ALT+F working for firefox, and CTRL+ALT+I for IE, but it's just not the same.
Isn't there a place where we Windows users can give feedback and suggestions to Microsoft? I'm sure a multibillion dollar company such as MS takes feedback? :confused:
Win + Pause/Break = System Properties
I am on a mailing list for DX, and MS asks all the time what we want to change in DX, and VisualStudio. Maybe there is some mailing list like that for Windows too...:DQuote:

Search for hotkeys or shortcut keys in Windows XP's Help and Support Center, it gives you the full list of them.
You bunch of muppets
I have been using ctrl alt V for ages to start VB :D
