When you work on the computer for hours every day, anything you can do to save time is a big plus.

Windows has some built-in keyboard shortcuts that very few people seem to use. Here are the three I use multiple times every day.

1) When you want to type in a .com web site all you need to do is type in the domain and then hit the CTRL and Enter keys at the same time. This automatically puts http://www. before the domain you type and a .com on the end.

Example: Type cbmall into your Internet Explorer or Firefox browser address bar and hit CTRL+ENTER and the browser turns that into http://www.CBmall.com and takes you there. VERY FAST.

When you visit lots of web sites this is a great shortcut.

2) The Windows Key on the bottom of your keyboard to the left of the space bar makes two great shortcuts. Hit The Windows key and E at the same time and it launches File Explorer.

3) Hit the Windows Key and M at the same time and it minimizes all the windows you might have open so you immediately see the desktop. This is the quickest way to get to your desktop.

If you have other great shortcuts, why not leave them as comments for others.
