Some useful productivity tips there, much thanks. I wonder if new versions of Windows will provide OS menu functionality of said shortcuts. eg. Windows 7 provides now the 'show desktop' button in addition to the previous (XP) shortcut of Windows+D keys.
OS Windows XP - Now Windows 7 Home Premium (64-bit).

I have multiple monitors but this one doesnt work for me....
Multitask with multiple monitors
Ctrl + Windows logo key
+ Shift + Arrow
Do you use more than one monitor at a time? Now you can shift an open window to your other monitor in less than a second.
