Windows 7 – Additional Hotkeys

The new hotkey goodness didn’t stop with moving windows around—one of the best new hotkeys in Windows 7 is the fact that you can create a new folder with a hotkey.

Just open up any Windows Explorer window, hit the Ctrl+Shift+N shortcut key sequence, and you’ll be rewarded with a shiny “New Folder” ready for you to rename.
Here’s a few more interesting hotkeys for you:

  • Ctrl+Shift+N: Creates a new folder in Windows Explorer.
  • Alt+Up: Goes up a folder level in Windows Explorer.
  • Alt+P: Toggles the preview pane in Windows Explorer.
  • Shift+Right-Click on a file: Adds Copy as Path, which copies the path of a file to the clipboard.
  • Shift+Right-Click on a file: Adds extra hidden items to the Send To menu.
  • Shift+Right-Click on a folder: Adds Command Prompt Here, which lets you easily open a command prompt in that folder.
  • Windows+P: Adjust presentation settings for your display.
  • Windows+(+/-): Zoom in/out.
  • Windows+G: Cycle between the Windows Gadgets on your screen
