ctrl-shift-esc

[redmon]

I was just taught this recently by a newly hired tech. What a time saver. Before this I always did ctrl-alt-delete, then choose "task manager"

Yup - was news to me but a couple years ago. What a blessed shortcut

I picked up that one and a few others that were helpful from this thread several months back.

It's a great shortcut for sure, been using it since the XP (01-02) days and it still works today

That's going to save on time, thank you.

I must have saved, oooh entire minutes over the years with just this tip!

If you're impressed with this you'll be amazed by the fact that right clicking the taskbar gives you a menu with the option to select Task Manager. This allows you to get TM up in nested RDP sessions. Yeah baby. Living the dream.

Hmmm....somehow I didn't know that (or forgot it)!

Thank you.

One thing I learned was Windows + Pause. It will pull up the "System properties" which has the basic system specs and you can change to a domain really easily.

That's actually quite handy.

clicks...

Shift + (right mouse click) (brings up strange menu)
Shift + del (just delete it, do not stick in recycle bin)
Alt + (dbl mouse click on desktop icon) -> brings up properties menu for that program/shortcut/link.
Alt + Left Shift + PrntScrn (makes web pages easier to read if you click yes)
F2 -> rename the selected icon

Great shortcut for finding out the computer name when on the phone with someone, most of the time.

I'll bookmark that, thanks!

A few other ones I like to use is Alt+Enter. It will pull up the properties of the selected file. If I want to know how large the file/folder is, I will use that. Or, if I want to run as administrator or create shortcut, I will use Shift + F10, which will mimic a right-click, and I can then arrow key to where I need to go. Pretty handy (yes, I hate the mouse)
