Keyboard Shortcuts List for Windows 7 and Windows Vista












If you spend as much time in front of a computer as I do, learning a shortcut which can save a few seconds off a common task can be significant. Throw in the fact that I’m also a bit lazy… and it should explain why I’m always looking around for new Keyboard Shortcuts. The majority of Windows 





7 keyboard shortcuts remain the same from Windows Vista and XP (thank you for that Microsoft), so many of the shortcuts I’ve compiled in this post should look familiar. If you have a favorite I’ve missed or you find a new one however, please be sure to tell me about it in the comments so I can add it to the list!
