GoToMyPC - Access Your PC From Anywhere

I love keyboard shortcuts. Using a combination of two or more keys that, when pressed, can be used to perform a task that would typically require a mouse or other pointing device saves me time and effort both in Windows and other programs.

Here are some of my favorite Windows 7 shortcuts that you may not be familiar with that are great time savers. For a complete list of all shortcuts, check out this page here: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/Windows7/Keyboard-shortcuts
