      The last bank I worked at had smart cards which you whipped out of the reader when you left your desk. That automatically locked the screen too. It was a good habit to get into, for even grabbing a coffee from 5 yards away could lead to getting involved with someone else's problem.

        hit the windows key and start typing for fast access to applications and search (although it won't be fast if you've disabled indexing!)

          Is that different to Windows D to take you to the desktop?

            Pressing Windows D again restores them though and also close down any pop up boxes that Windows M doesn't

                Hey!

                Thanks for that.

                Didn't know about the Windoze + E or the Windoze + D shortcuts.

                Came in handy during the PIC assembler fiasco on Friday.

                Handout says "open Windoze Explorer" so naturally they all open IE.

                Give me strength.

                  Once they've opened it, tell them to type C: into the location bar and hit Enter. Hey presto! Explorer window

                    Windows Explorer is actually pretty good at browsing websites, files on your own that is.

                      Just found out (on Scott Hanselman's blog) that Windows 7 includes a "Boot to VHD" feature, allowing you to boot to a virtual drive but use all your hardware in the OS. Nice alternative to partitioning.

                      Shift-F10 is about my favourite general shortcut key - it brings up the context menu. Useful in loads of places.
