I am a shortcut addict. Keyboard shortcuts are faster, easier and more than hold the mouse button, but the real problem is what they are shortcuts. Fortunately, the article by Microsoft for Windows 7 and a complete list of all links in the software giant and the large version.
The article can be found here.
Some of my favorite links are listed below (with the exception of the public):
Shortcut and Effect
Shift+Delete :Delete the selected item without moving it to the Recycle Bin first.
Alt+Enter : Display properties for the selected item.
Alt+Up Arrow :View the folder one level up in Windows Explorer.
Ctrl+Shift+Esc :Open Task Manager (a more direct method).
Windows Key +D : Display the desktop.
Windows Key +R : Open the Run dialog box.
Windows Key +Spacebar :Preview the desktop.
Shift +Windows Key +Number : Start a new instance of the program pinned to the taskbar in the position indicated by the number.
Alt +Windows Key +Number : Open the Jump List for the program pinned to the taskbar in the position indicated by the number.
Windows Key +T : Cycle through programs on the taskbar.
