What are your favorite keyboard short cuts?

As another non-Excel one Ctrl+Escape is one I use to bring up the Start menu, probably redundant in Vista.

Thats what the windows button is for?

As Bob said, old habits die hard and I never had one of those on my keyboard until relatively recently.

Having been yet unable to find a keyboard shortcut to increase/decrease the number of decimals

For me it's

• CTRL+SHIFT+!
• Click the decrease decimal button on my toolbar_xl03 or the QAT_xl07

I keep thinking I'll get around to just writing a macro to hotkey this somewhere, but I never seem to get around to it...

Pressing Windows+D again returns all screens to the previous state.

Well, there you have it -- I didn't know that [obviously].

I've also taken to using [windows]+L (lock screen) since we have a few wiseguys in the office that - if you leave your machine unlocked - have been known to hop on to your unprotected machine and send out e-mails with messages like "I feel like a pretty pink ballerina today!"

I work in a bank and if you don't lock your screen, unscrupulous coworkers can do a lot worse. Yet, some coworkers don't seem to understand that locking the screen is for their benefit.

And, do tell, Mr. Archibald, is there anyone besides yourself in the office that might possess the technical expertise needed to make this happen?

I won't tell you what I did when I was a lot younger and working for a bank where people regularly forgot to sign off their session on the terminals .

In my defence I was very bored.

I'm intrigued.

I'm not all that young, but I am immature.

I modified one our instructors outlook to do something similar, as she taught outlook bombarded her with emails which then played the clip from Crank Yankers- I Got Mail Yeahhhh


Also would go and put in their start up folder a modified blank workbook that had some wonderful conditional formating setup up.

I always used Ctrl Alt Del followed by Enter to lock my machine.
