All this makes it easy and quick to move from one Windows to another in Open Windows. But if you want a stylish way to move from one Windows to another then press Windows + TAB keys.
iv) Minimize And Restore Back All Windows:
Many times you have to minimize all open windows at once, so at such times you press Windows + M keys. This minimizes all open windows.
But this method has one drawback. You cannot do this when you have to go to the same stage again.
At such times, you can use Windows + D size. With this key, you can minimize all the open windows at once, but by pressing this key again, all the open windows are restored/maximized as before.

The traditional way to open Task Manager is to press CTRL + ALT + DEL keys and then select Task Manager.
But you can open Task Manager directly by pressing CTRL + Shift + ESC keys.

When you type the address of any web site in the browser, you have to type its full address.
But this is not true if you type the name of that web site and press CTRL + Enter key, then www. And the web site will open by typing .com automatic.
Similarly Shift + Enter for .net
And press Ctrl + Shift + Enter keys for .org.
ii) Reopen Accidently deleted Tab:
When multiple tabs are opened in the browser, then the other tab is accidentally closed. At such times, you can press CTRL + Shift + T keys to open the previously closed tab.
iii) Jump Directly To Any Tab:
When multiple tabs are open in the browser, you use CTRL + TAB keys to move from tab to tab.
But this is not a fast way, because when you have to go from a number tab to a number four tab, then you have to press CTRL + TAB four times.
Instead, you can go straight to the number four tab by pressing CTRL + 4 keys, or from CTRL + 1 to a number tab.
