Only some weeks ago I figured out how to go from one tab to another in Firefox, in case you don't know it's Ctrl+[tab number], I don't know what happens if you have more than 9 tabs open...now I know. Just wanted to try what Ctrl+Tab does...that goes through all your tabs, very cool. And ctrl+t for new tab and ctrl+w to close a tab.
Of course ctrl+c/x/v, ctrl+n, ctrl+s, F5.
Just plain B in Winamp is also good...it's shortcut for next track.
Also, on Dell laptop, Fn+PgUp/PgDn for volume control.

Should be all now, don't use Win+D or Ctrl+E myself but knew the latter one before this (very useful) thread.
LOL yeah i love that short cut to flip through windows programs. I use it all the time. I have been using since win 95 days i think.. maybe win 98. I forget how i found it.. i think i was messing around and read an e-book online of over 1000 windows short cuts. i started using them

Today i use probably about 300 short cuts on a daily basis (wow i open my mouth and more and more geek just comes right out lol)

i almost forgot one. Cntl + S .. to save things before windows gives you the BSOD.

I love firefox short cuts. and i love to flip through tabs that way too, unlike you, i read the doc and parts of the code for the browers to figue it out. probably would have been easier to try it like you did lol

and i agree with Shaden as well. I love control + z..

For anyone intersted in vista, to flip thru the pretty stuff you dont use alt + tab the way you do in windows. You can still use alt + tab and it gives you a screen that you are used to (but now you can use it with arrows and a mouse, which leads me to wonder, why in the world would one use a key board short cut then pick up their hand to use a mouse????) anyway, to flip thru the GUI of programs it is windows + alt + tab
