    A few of mine:

    Select All - Ctrl + A
    Copy - Ctrl + C
    Cut - Ctrl + X
    Paste - Ctrl + V
    Undo - Ctrl + Z

    Feel free to also add those which perhaps work only in certain programs you use, i.e. Word, Excel, etc or those which are customized for you computer or any that you have made.

    Glad you asked...Power Users Unite!

    Windows+D= Desktop
    Windows+E= File Explorer

    Browser:
    F11 on a browser= pr0n mode
    Ctrl+ or - zooms/shrinks
    Ctrl0 resets zoom to default
    ctrl+pgup/down = switches tabs

    For windows7 users, Windows+P makes it seamless to attach projector/dual monitor

    thanks! will have to start using this one.

    besides those already listed, i also use these frequently:
    ctrl + n for new window (useful when working on office docs/notepad)
    ctrl + t for new tab in browser
    windows + r to open run
    windows + f to search for files

    Well, certainly the aforementioned Ctrl + C / Ctrl + X / Ctrl + V / Ctrl + Z. That's such basic functionality that I barely even think about them as being shortcuts anymore.

    Other than that, F4 in Word to repeat the last action can be a real time-saver. I used to have a job as a document formatter, and without F4 my job would have taken about twice as long.

    The greatest shortcut of all time. While your in a browswer ctrl-enter puts the www and the .com at the end of what your typing. So if you type in espn and then hit ctrl-enter it goes to www.espn.com ... Let the reputation flow in now. Your welcome.

    Clicking the mouse wheel on a link opens it up in a new tab. A little unnecessary, but useful nonetheless
