Shortcut Keys in Windows 7

Hey Guys, lets explore some keyboard shortcuts in windows 7. Some of them are old and some are first time introduced in windows 7.

Alt + P

In windows explorer you can activate an additional preview pan to the right side of the window by Alt + P shortcut. This pane is convenient for image previewing. 

Windows + Up arrow / Windows + Down arrow

You can maximize windows by pressing Windows + Up, and by pressing Windows + Down, it will resize active window. It will not work if window is minimized.

Windows + Shift + Up

When you use this shortcut while a window is active will stretch it vertically to the maximum desktop height; however the width of the window will remain same. And by pressing Windows + Down will restore it to its previous size.

Windows + Right arrow / Windows + Left arrow

This is one of the new features of windows 7, the ability to automatically make a window fill up in half of your screen by dragging it to the left or right. These shortcuts do the same thing for you without using your mouse.
