Hold down the windows start menu button on your keyboard and press "L". This locks your PC.

Control + V (Very well known, but anyway...pastes your clipboard content)

Control + C (Once again, very well known...copies what you select)

Control + B (Opens your favourites on a siebar in IE or FF.

I'll think of more latez..

In most browsers, hold ctrl and with the scroll wheel you change change font size.

Windows key and d returns to desktop, pressing it again will bring your windows back.

Alt and tab change window, alt shift tab change to previous window.

holding alt in photoshop and dragging on an image copys it and drags it, makes easy for duplication.

yeah man, that would be extremely helpful. I have this constant thought in my head that I have an insane amount of viruses/spyware. My desktop always changes (without me doing anything), and when I put a new prog on there it duplicates it, when I go into my computer and look at desktop, theres only 1?

Check this....

And I alwasy have these fucing .bat and .exe files randomly spawning in my documents.....

I wanna reformat.... but I dunno if I can be stuffed.

If you've got valuable footage on your computer, you don't want virus' running round. Well you wouldn't want them at all, but it's risky.

Someone showed me a shortcut once, that flips the screen upside down. I searched for it on google forever and couldn't find it.

Any clues?

On the desktop hold ctrl and alt whilst pressing the arrow keys in the direction you want it to go. Got paid £20 for sorting out that problem for my nextdoor neighbour, har.
