Keyboard Shortcuts

Keyboard shortcuts are combinations of keys that you press simultaneously to perform specific actions. For example, from the Windows Vista desktop, press the Alt (alternate) key, the Ctrl (control) key, and the S key (the letter S) to display support information for the computer (including the model number, serial number, and service ID). You see this combination of keys represented as Alt+Ctrl+S. In Windows Vista, press Ctrl+C to copy an item that you’ve highlighted or selected, Ctrl+V to paste a copied item, or Ctrl+Z to undo the previous action. These shortcuts perform the same actions that you can perform through menus, but they save you time and mouse clicks.
