Great shortcuts – tips and tricks for your keyboard
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In Windows Explorer, hit Ctrl-Shift-N to create a new folder (and highlight it, ready for renaming)
In Windows Explorer, you’re used to right-clicking the mouse for extra options. Try Shift-right-click for even more options (like ‘Pin to Taskbar’ to name just one)
In Windows Explorer, Alt-P switches file previewing on and off. Go for ‘off’ for speed; ‘on’ for previews so you always open the right file.
Win-L locks your computer. Ideal when you’re skipping out for a well-deserved lunch break.
Win-+ and Win-- (win-minus) will zoom your screen in or out, no matter what program you’re using.

Side by side editing in Word
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
These tips and tricks will literally save you hours working with multiple documents. Suppose you have two versions of a Word document open, one previous version and one new version. Maybe one has comments and edits in view, whereas the other is the final document as you would wish it to be viewed by the reader. Either way, you’ll want to see them both side-by-side for comparison. With Windows 7, you can snap to halves of the screen in a second. Drag your first document window to the left hand edge of the screen. A shadow highlight will appear on the left half of the screen. Release the mouse button, and the window auto-snaps to the left half. Repeat the process for the right window. Job done! Win-LeftArrow and Win-RightArrow on your keyboard will do the same.to see more click here
