Windows Vista Explorer keyboard hotkeys
A few new keyboard tricks has been implemented in windows Vista, and some more were modified compared to their XP equivalents. for example:
open a folder containing pictures, videos, or just any files. hold Ctrl and roll the mouse wheel. This will change the thumbnails size.
hold Alt while going forward or backward from any folder. This will hide the file-names from appearing. this is perfect for folders containing Photos.
If you have vista Aero. try winkey-tab. this will start switch between active windows in 3D style.
You can always try other keyboard shortcuts from windows XP because most of them still work.
One more thing if you use the “Windows Task Manager” a lot, you can directly activate it by pressing Ctrl-Shift-Esc without having to jump through the logon window.
Using keyboard arrows to move windows cursor
Hello.
Not every one know that the windows mouse cursor can be moved using the keyboard arrows.
This will be great when you have a problem with your mouse, or when you want to move the mouse with very high accuracy in drawing application such as MS paint.
This function is available as a part of the Microsoft accessibility pack for people with special needs, but still can be cool if you use it (unlike parking spots!)
Anyway here is how to do it:
press and hold both Alt & shift.
while holding press “Num lock”
A window will appear just press enter in your keyboard.
Now you can use the keypad arrows to move the cursor around the screen.
you can use / + – keys to change the mouse key you want to press ( left both right) then you can press the keypad 5 to click.
A mouse icon will appear near the clock, you can use it to change some settings like mouse speed etc.
To temporarily stop the “mouse keys” function press num lock
To stop using it use the same keyboard shortcut you used to start it.
