Whenever I see somebody computing the hard and slow way, I have an urge to correct them. For example, when I’m in a meeting that involves a PowerPoint presentation, and the presenter switches into slide-show mode by awkwardly groping for the touch pad, then selecting View > Slide Show, I have the urge to shout because this long process only takes Just pressing F5!” I believe that we should be masters of our tools, using them in the ways that save us the most possible time and effort. As most nonbeginners know, you can use Alt+Tab to switch between applications. I also like using Shift +Alt+Tab, which steps you through your running applications in the opposite order. This is useful if
you have a whole bunch of programs running at once. Also, Windows+D minimizes all windows, and Windows+R brings up the Run dialog (where you can
also paste file paths and URLs. Below are dozens of more Windows shortcuts; remember this is your world of solutions
