Default Shortcut keys
What are some of your favorite shortcut keys in Windows and Windows apps, key combinations you do instinctively now but that others might not use or be aware of.

For me:

Internet explorer
Ctrl-D to get to address bar

Windows
Ctrl-R to open Run dialog box

I also use HotKeyz to map my own shortcut keys for specific applications.

Windows 7:

WinKey + left/right arrow: to pin a window to the left/right half of the screen. Easiest way to work with two documents on a wide screen without the pain/need to manually resize them.

WinKey + D: Minimize all Windows to see the desktop.

yesterday I had to work on a mac with a windows keyboard, soon came the question how to press the option key () ? 1 split second of thinking gave me the answer: press the winkey .

The spacebar thing toggles the hand, JD. When you release it your previous tool is still there. I use it constantly.
