The Best Windows 7 Shortcuts

Reddit features a comprehensive Windows XP, Vista, and 7 shortcut list, including some of the most useful ones. Here are my personal favorites (works only on Vista or Windows 7):

Middle click an app on dock – Open a new app instance
Middle click a thumbnail from dock – Close app instance/tab
Alt – bring up old-style file menus where they’ve been removed
Winkey + P – multi-display config quick-switch (press twice to switch)
Winkey + X – bring up laptop settings control panel
Winkey + T – dock keyboard mode (use arrow keys)
Winkey + (shift +) tab – Flip 3D task switcher
Winkey + left, right, up or down key – manage window position

What are your favorite Windows 7/Vista shortcuts?
