Am back to the keyboard with some common but useful functional keys that I think you need them to make your computer to be even more useful and I  guess you're going to like them. So lets  begin...  

F1 (Help)

Not only windows 7 but, in most applications also like Microsoft Office expressing the F1 function key opens the Help and Support page which contains useful information about how to use the product.

F2 (Rename Files, Folders)

Click F2 to select a file or folder in windows, press F2 to rename it. An useful addition to Windows 7 is, if you have configured folder settings to show file extensions always, pressing the F2 key selects the file name only unlike in windows XP. Saves you few seconds and mistakes while renaming files, folders.

F3 (Search)

Pressing F3 in desktop opens the explorer search to search for files in the PC. Using F3 or Ctrl+F inside the explorer window highlights search that lets you search for file folder inside that folder. Search filters can be added instantly.

F4 (Select Address Bar, Show Folder Path)




Quite useful if you use Internet Explorer browser. Simply press F4 to select address bar and type a new URL. In windows explorer pressing F4 shows you the Folder Path instead of the clickable breadcrumbs.

Press F5

Press F5 to refresh a webpage (reloads css images) and updates folder contents.

F6 (Toggle Elements)

Just like using the tab key, pressing F6 cycles through all the elements in the active explorer window. Select an element and press Enter key to activate it.

F10 (Display Menu Bar in Windows 7)

By default, the so useful menu bar is not visible in windows 7. Press F10 to activate the menu bar which is also missing in chrome, internet explorer 9 etc.

F11 (View FullScreen Mode)

Most programs have a full screen mode. Press F11 to activate the fullscreen mode in applications. Works in windows explorer too.
