hi, is there a keyboard shortcut for creating folders?
Harry Crumb
Does anyone know of the Windows directory references? For example, %programfiles% returns the full path to the Program Files folder. I am trying to find one to the current users desktop directory so that I can use it in a batch file (.bat). Thanks!

Alt+F > W > F


@ethief:
I couldn't find in your list the one that used to be Microsoft's most useful shortcut --> Ctrl+Alt+Del
pre XP it was once for the Task manager and twice for shut-down
in XP it brings up the "Widows Security" magic box
(perhaps it's no longer considered a shortcut in view of the Ctrl+Shift+Esc shortcut for Task Manager)

Great list! thumbs_up.gif
Try this one: Enhanced Task Manager: ntsd -hd -c "qd" taskmgr
This command starts the Task Manager with enhanced privileges: you can kill services and other system-level processes. biggrin.gif

Great list!

what about the starting keys like:

* F8 - while starting to start in safe mode.
* F12 - while starting to select the boot device (basic).
* F2 - while starting to bios (basic).

I have heard that there is a shortcut to open User Manager while the starting of the machine and previously of the user log on.

Is it real?

lordjm
I want to know if somebody know about this.

Somebody told me that there is a way to open User manager with some key hits while the start up and before to the user log in screen, so that means that you are able to log in as administrator just removing the actual user password or create a new user. do you know about it?

I don't like the mouse, I rather to work with the keyboard. And thank you for all your tips, are very usefull.
Thanks a lot
