Windows Keyboard Shortcuts



WINDOWS KEYBOARD SHORTCUTS

Shortcuts are small icons files created from executable files, documents, or folders. Double-clicking on them opens the program, folder, or document from which you created them. Many people place shortcuts on the desktop, where they will easy reach.

You can also place shortcuts on the Quick Launch tool bar on the task bar, making them always available, even when other programs are active.
