also when using Win + P and you select duplicate when you have dual screens of different sizes (I have 1920 x 1080 plus 1280 x 1024) the screen resolution changes to same settings and the picture on the large screen is not the same. Selecting “extend” restores the settings, fortunately.

Win + D is a toggle so using it again restores the window you were in and brings it back in focus if a reduced window like Skype.

CTRL+N – Opens a new instance of the same application(or folder) that is currently running. (Found that out from CTRL+Shift+N)

Thanks for adding that one. Yes, that is shorter and maybe even easier to use.

But CTRL + Windows Key + Tab will let you use the arrow keys to cycle through programs on the taskbar by using Aero Flip 3-D without needing to hold Windows Key while you’re cycling.

And when you use only Windows Key + Tab, you need to hold down Windows Key and cycle through programs.

So the only difference here is:

Using only Windows Key + Tab:
If you release Windows Key, it goes back to normal view.

Using CTRL + Windows Key + Tab:
It goes to Aero Flip 3-D view and even if you release all keyboard buttons, it still stays in Aero Flip 3-D. Until you decide which program to go to.

I hope that’s not confusing… :)

Anyway, you can use both of them, and the second one (Windows Key + Tab) might be simpler and faster for most people.

It’s not CTRL + Windows Key + Tab. Just Windows Key + Tab. CTRL is not needed…
