(If a key name is bold and it means that you hold it down while the other keys)

1st When you enter things such as user names and passwords in a dialog box that you normally press tab to the next point. If you want to go back (or above) to the previous position, press Shift-Tab. This is useful if you want to give you all the things in the text field, such as tabbing to relocate it makes it highlighted so that you only exist, and that marked replaced without having to delete it.

2nd To get a CD / DVD in a drive to play without it automatically, then hold the shift key while you download.

3rd In Internet Explorer to go back to a previous Web page, press the backspace key on your keyboard. This is useful if the Web page without back button, you can click.

4th The F5 key usually updates the window you are in. If you have only one file and it does not appear in your list in File Explorer, press F5, and it should appear.

5th Ctrl U underlines your selected text. I Ctrl puts it in italics.

6th Ctrl-Z is an undo function. Also works in Solitare! To make your last mistake, make Ctrl Z.

7th Windows key and D minimize all open windows. Doing it again back to normal. It is the same as clicking on the little desktop icon on your Quick Launch bar.

8th Ctrl Home takes you to the top of your document (or website). Ctrl end to the cursor to the end of your document or Web page.

9th (I'm sure everybody knows this, but our secretary not!) If you want to open a link on a Web page in a new tab in Internet Explorer 7 and up, click on the link with the mouse wheel. (If you push the wheel down but also clicks, for those who do not know.)

10th Choose a word in your document and press Ctrl H. A Replace dialog box will appear, and you can then replace all occurrences of the word or phrase in your document. As for the Ctrl F is for more occurrences of expression.

Bonus tip! If you have a lot of open tabs in Internet Explorer, press Ctrl Q, overgrown by thumbnails of all open web pages. Kinda funky! Then just click on which you want to go.

Well, that's all the tips for this article. Your way to know for all keyboard shortcuts can be very useful, because the keyboard is a window that is always on top, always available!
