Use the Win key to be more productive in Windows

As soon as the first keyboard to Win, I have not heard a single key a positive opinion on the matter. Office Samurai surprised that in order to induce in the Windows menu Start (Start) on the keyboard was a whole... button and laptops, by the way, too. But most of all spat gamers, because at the time ran and shot from the keyboard, and the most "militant" keys are Ctrl, Alt and Spacebar. And it turned out that the player in the hot seat finger jumps to Win, which led to the curtailment of the game, and sometimes its collapse, and the eyes of the player appeared as Start!

Today and play smarter, and Windows XP / Vista use the Win key to the maximum. Here are some combinations that you definitely need to know if you're working in Windows.

Win: Opens the Start / Start menu.

Win + E: Opens Explorer / Windows Explorer.

Win + R: Opens the Run / Run command.

Win + U: Opens the Windows utility service.

Win + L: Log Off.

Win + F1: Help.

Win + Pause / Break: System Settings.

Win + Tab: The transition between the quick launch buttons on the taskbar in XP, and Vista leads to the launch Flip3D switching windows with a nice three-dimensional effect.

Win + B: Select the icon in the system tray (near the watch), then use the to the right and to the left you can navigate through them and recall the desired settings.

CTRL + Win + F: Search for computers.

By the way, if all the arguments in favor of Win keys you have not convinced, you can just disable it (it's at your own risk, as you need to edit the registry):

1. Press Win + R, type regedt32And then click OK.
2. In the registry tree of folders follow this path HKEY_LOCAL_ MACHINE \ System \ CurrentControlSet \ Control \ Keyboard Layout.
3. On the menu Edit click Add Value, type the Scancode MapClick on the value of the parameter REG_BINARY "as Data Type »And then click OK.
4. Dial 00000000000000000300000000005BE000005CE000000000 in the Data field, and then OK.
5. Close the Registry Editor and restart your computer.

We hope that these combinations will be useful and will work with the Windows operating system more productive.
