Windows: A widely used well known operating system, with plenty of applications, games, hardware and more. Oh, and shortcuts.

You might thing you know the shortcuts of Windows. Control-Alt-Delete is one. So is Control-Shift-Escape. But there are plently more, such as these:

Windows Key + L

Locks your computer quickly! Great if you need to go out the room but have a nosy sibling.

Shift + Delete

Use this on any file and you'll permanently delete it - no recycle bin, no nothing. Gone!

Alt + F6

Multiple windows open? Don't worry. This shortcut spreads them out for you so you can find what you're looking for.

Shift + Control + N

Gotta make a new folder? But don't want to spend all that time right clicking? Press this and it'll make you a new folder.

Windows Key + M

Millions of Windows open but need to find your desktop? Press this and head back there right away by minimizing all open windows to the taskbar.

Windows Key + Space Bar

Need to view your desktop but not access it? Use this and make all open windows transparent.

Windows Key + Shift + Left Arrow or Right Arrow

If you have a dual-monitor setup, then you can use this to send windows to and from monitors.

Windows Key + Number

If you have apps pinned to the taskbar, you can use this to quickly open them.

Windows Key + T

Browse your open apps on the taskbar quickly, and hit enter on the one you want to open.

Windows Key + (+/-)

Quickly zoom in or out of the screen using Magnifier.
