You may have read our post a few weeks ago explaining some of the keyboard shortcuts which we think are essential for anyone who works with computers. Hopefully you have learned a few and put them into practice. Why not comment on the post; let us know which are your favourites and whether they have sped up your daily tasks. Now here are a few more for you, specifically for Windows 7 this time, which we hope will be useful. If there are any tasks you do frequently and want to know a shortcut for, just let us know and we will publish a post dedicated to your requests.
