Using computer shortcuts to save time !!!

Computer shortcuts / Tips (for PC, MS Office and internet)

The aim behind giving these shortcuts is to minimize the usage of mouse and increase your efficiency, as usage of mouse and keyboard both increases time wastage as you shuffle from keyboard to mouse again and again while many of those tasks can be done by keyboard only. I personally use almost all of these. It would need some practice to get used to using all of these in daily computer life. You can start with few and then gradually increase the shortcuts used.

* Some of these would not work in Open Office Suite.
For computer in general:

1. Open a new file/ folder / doc: Right click on desktop --> ‘New’ --> <select>
