Keyboard Shortcuts for Windows

Windows has always had some awesome keyboard shortcuts designed to make our lives easier,There are 100+ keyboard shortcuts available for Windows, but there are several you'll want to remember because you'll use them often.Here in This Article i have listed out the most important shorcuts which most of people use often

CTRL+ALT+DEL--reboots the computer – eventually. First, it'll tell you

what's hung up.
CTRL+esc-- same as clicking on the "start button" in the taskbar area of
the screen 
ALT+F4 shuts down the selected program. 
TAB--VERY USEFUL. takes you from one field to another, one "button" to
another, one icon to another etc. 
SHIFT+TAB -- it tabs you backward
HOME – to beginning of line or far left of field or screen.
END --to end of line, or far right of field or screen.
CTRL+home -- to the top
CTRL+END -- to the bottom
PAGE UP -- moves you up in your document or dialogue box by one page
PAGE DOWN -- moves you down in your document or dialogue list by one page
ARROW KEYS--these will move you about the screen or dialogue box, or menu,
not just a document. Modifier keys like CTRL and SHIFT when pressed at same
time as arrow keys or page up and page down will perform selection and
larger movements. For instance, CTRL + right arrow jumps to next word, and
SHIFT+CTRL+RIGHT ARROW selects the whole word. 
ESC -- to cancel, or get rid of something like box or window that popped up
when you didn't want it (or if you change your  mind) etc.
ALT + the underlined letter in a menu item carries out the action. 

SHIFT+F10—like right click, brings up context menu
ALT+TAB—cycles through open applications
[ALT] + down arrow--opens up a "Drop down list" -those little arrows that
sit next to fields in which you must make a choice, for instance in the
"Look in" field of an "Open" dialogue box. 
[ALT] + TAB        --holding down the [ALT] and hitting tab cycles you
through open applications.
Thus, to sign off windows 95: CTRL+ESC, UP, ENTER, ENTER.
