![]() However, since the sections covering programs that I use are accurate, I see no reason to doubt their accuracy. Since I’ve never used Journal, Paint, Media Player, or Media Center, I can’t vouch for the usefulness or accuracy of those sections. ![]() This cheat sheet lists many more shortcuts than the handful that I listed above, covering the above three programs, in addition to Paint, Remote Desktop, Windows Journal, Windows Media Player, and the Windows Media Center modules. BACK – Go back one folder level in the path.END – Move to bottom of the active window.HOME – Move to top of the active window.File Explorer – All of these are new to me.This chart is my introduction to this shortcut. F9 – Prompts for a number, taken from the F7 list, and displays the command, but doesn’t execute it (more like F3), so that you can edit it.I just discovered this shortcut about a week ago. Selecting an item runs it exactly as written. Win + P toggles between the devices that receive video cards output. F7 – Display the entire command history in a list that can be scrolled with the up and down arrow keys. Windows 7 adds the following shortcuts: Win + Space bar activates Aero Peek.UP/DOWN – Along with F3, these are among the stalwart DOSKEY shortcuts.F3 – Repeat the last command that ran.I don’t use most of the other DOSKEY shortcuts listed, because they usually seem mostly to make a mess of things. Command Prompt – The last two are new to me.ESC – Press the Clear Calculator (C ) button.DEL – Press the Clear Entry (CE) button.Mode is persistent, and mine lives in Programmer mode. ALT-3 – Put calculator into Programmer mode. ![]() Occasionally, I want it in this mode, to get thousands separators in the display. ALT-1 – Put calculator into Standard (basic) mode.CTRL-R – Activate the Memory Retrieve (MR) button.CTRL-M – Activate the Memory Store (MS) button.I’ve known about, and used, this one for years. F8 – Select Bin (Binary) in Programmer mode.F6 – Select Dec (decimal) in Programmer mode.F5 – Select Hex (Hexadecimal) in programmer mode.The first two unmodified function keys date back to at least Windows 2000, and I’ve been using them for that many years. Calculator – The ALT keys listed here first appeared in the calculator that ships with Windows 7.Not only did this answer the question at hand (Press the Home key to move to the top of the files window.), but it supplied a couple of others that will expedite my use of Windows in general, and the command prompt and calculator, in particular. The third refinement of my search query yielded the most comprehensive list of desktop shortcuts that I have seen anywhere, covering the task bar, file explorer, calculator, and even paint. Feeling certain that there must be a better way, I enlisted the Windows 7 Support Forum in my search. In the course of working with the file explorer today, I decided that I’d had enough of the awkward behavior of the F5 key in the Windows 7 file explorer.
