- Breaking Down Some Combos
I love shortcuts, especially the combos. They save me time and people are usually always amazed that I know so many. I think a big part of why I remember so many, is because I use them often. I also find that I mostly only remember the useful ones (Who can remember Alt- to bring up the right click in Windows 3.1 which changed to SHIFT+F10 in Win98 and greater? (Go ahead, try it, it works.) Well i guess I do, but that’s besides the point). The bigges, like Win+E (My Computer)
Win+R(Run)
Alt+Tab(Next Window)
Windows Logo+Tab (Flip 3d) and
Alt+F4 (Close Window)
are second nature to me, as I use them very often.
Here are some new ones that I just learned for Windows 7. Give them a try and see if you find any of these useful. I already like the Win+Space one.
Just remember, These are for Windows 7.
Enjoy

I saw that your remove the link back to Swift Themes in your footer. I dont think that is a nice thing todo?
Actually, it is quite permitted. I enjoy Swift, and I would recommend it, however, I don’t feel I need to promote it on the footer of every single page across my site. If I was a theme designer, I wouldn’t mind. But I also can’t control what is on the swift themes website after a year or two, and I wouldn’t want to be linking to the site then. I linked to a bad site in footer before that nuked my google rating, and I’m much more aware of who I link to now.
You could have used the contact form instead of posting this on a random page tho
But Thanks for the feedback!
