Shagin099 Posted August 21, 2005 Share Posted August 21, 2005 I just thought I'd start this topic so people can post some nifty stuff they find in vista like: -New keyboard shortcuts -What some of the new exes do in system32 and such Heres what i have so far: shift+ctl+f9 - toggle glass if its supported by your HW/Drivers toggle.exe - enable/disable UAP LicenseUI.exe - the activation utility (note that msoobe.exe doesnt exist anymore) Maybe everyone already knows this stuff, but I thought it would be a neat topic ;p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShadowPHP Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 Ctrl + Shift + Esc has worked in Windows since 2000 I think. It definately works in XP and Ctrl + Alt + Delete is also here to stay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
