Windows 7 beta hotkey cheat sheet

Got yourself a shiny new Windows 7 beta install? Here's a little cheat sheet I made up for some of the handy new hotkey combinations, pointer of which I 've become quite dependent on!

General

Win + up	Maximize
Win + down	Restore/minimize
Win + left	Snap to left
Win + Right	Snap to right
Win + Shift + left	Jump to left monitor
Win + Shift + Right	Jump to right Monitor
Win + home	Minimize/restore all other windows
Win + T	Focus the first taskbar entry Pressing again will cycle through them, you can arrow around. Win + Shift + T cycles backwards.
Win + Space	Peek at the desktop
Win + G	Bring gadgets to the top of the Z-order
Win + P	External display options (mirror, extend desktop, etc)
Win + x	Mobility Center (same as Vista, but still handy !)
Win + # (# = A number key)	Launches a new instance of the application in the nth slot on the taskbar. Example: Win + 1 launches first pinned app, win + 2 launches second, etc.
Win ++ Win +- (Plus or minus key)	Zoom in or out.

Windows Explorer

Alt + P

Show/hide Preview pane

Taskbar Modifiers

Shift + Click on icon	Open a new instance
Middle click on icon	Open a new instance
CTRL + Shift + Click on icon	Open a new instance with admin privileges
Shift + right-click on icon	Show window menu (Restore/minimize/move/etc) Note: Normally you can just right-click on the window thumbnail to get this menu
Shift + right-click on Grouped icon	Menu With restore all/minimize all/close all, etc.
CTRL + Click on Grouped icon	Cycle between the windows (or tabs) in the group

Note that this list focuses on stuff that's specific to Windows 7. for a complete list of Windows Vista hotkeys (which shocould be largely unchanged since t where noted above), visit this page on Microsoft.com or look in the Windows Help file.
