New Keyboard Shortcuts in Windows 7

Windows 7 includes some handy new shortcut key combinations that allow you to navigate and manage the Windows workspace more efficiently.

Here are 10 new Windows 7 shortcuts that will help you speed up your workflow (“Win” means the Windows Key):

• Win+Home: Clear all but the active window
  
• Win+Space: All windows become transparent so you can see through to the desktop (requires the Aero interface)
  
• Win+Up arrow: Maximize the active window
  
• Win+Down arrow: Minimize the active window or restore the window if it's maximized
  
• Win+Left/Right arrows: Dock the active window to each side of the monitor
  
• Win+Shift+Left/Right arrows: If you've got dual monitors, this will move the active window to the adjacent monitor (love this one!)
  
• Win+T: Shift focus to and scroll through items on the taskbar
  
• Win+P: Adjust presentation settings for your display
  
• Win+(+/-): Zoom in/out
  
• Shift+Click a taskbar item: Open a new instance of that particular application
