Reason 6: Use Keyboard Shortcuts

Using the mouse, you can drag and dock windows to either side of the screen, or drag it to the top to maximize it. These keyboard shortcuts are even faster:

  • Win+Left Arrow and Win+Right Arrow dock the window to the left and right side of the screen
  • Win+Up Arrow and Win+Down Arrow maximize and restore/minimize
  • Win+M minimizes everything
  • Alt+Up, Alt+Left Arrow, Alt+Right Arrow navigate to parent folder, or browse Back and Forward through folders in Explorer
  • Win+Home minimizes/restores all open windows except the active window
  • Alt+Win+# accesses the Jump List of program number ‘#’ on the taskbar

  1. All this you can do in win xp no need to switch to win 7.
    If you don't know how to do all this in win 7 let me know and i will tell you.

    For send to, you open send to folder on your PC and add inside all that you need to " send to " and this is all.
    The best way to find "Send to " folder is, to use Aida or Everest app ;)

    Still the best OS is XP, win 7 is only update of Vista and is the same crapy system.
