i dont know if these were posted but what the heck.
Here are shortcuts for windows xp.
<F2> Rename selected File
<F5> Refresh your page in Explorer and Web Browser Window
<Ctrl> + <Esc> Open the Start Menu
(Useful when your mouse won't respond)
<Ctrl> + <Space> Reset the highlighted text to the default font(Word)
<Ctrl> + mouse-Wheel Zoom in and out
<Alt>+<Spacebar>+N Minimize any window
<Alt>+<Spacebar>+X Maximize any window to fill all the screen
<Alt>+<Spacebar>+R Restore the default size of the window
<Alt>+<F4> Close a window
<Alt>+<Tab> Switch to the last window you had open
Now if your unsure what games work with windows 7 here is the list.
The following games work, as in they can load up the first level and play a couple of minutes, other problems may manifest themselves later in the game. Windows 7 Premium 64 bit, Nvidia 8800GT, Driver 191.07.
I'll try to list below what i did to get them working, might miss some things though.
Age of Empire 2 - The Age of Kings & The Conquers Addon
Installs fine.
Colour corruption in game - Water turns red for example. Interestingly I took a screen shot to show you all but it appears fine in the screenshot.
Solution - Start Game, Crtl - Alt - Del out of game, End 'Explorer' Process, Alt Tab back into game to play normally. Upon Exiting the Game you will need to Crtl - Alt - Del, File, New Task, Explorer.exe
Bioshock - Works Fine.
Broken Sword - The Sleeping Dragon - Works Fine.
Brother in Arms - Road to Hill 30 - Works Fine.
Call of Duty and United Offensive Addon
Crashes to desktop on launch with Buffer Overun error message. OpenGL error message caused by Quake 3 engine.
