Over at Lifehacker I caught glimpse of one of the most interesting posts I’ve seen in a while, especially if you’re running Windows Vista or Windows 7 – some really interesting and useful tips and tricks that the editors there say “everyone should know.” Now, don’t get me wrong – I defintely think they’re useful to know, but I think I’d hesitate to say everyone should know them, especially if they’re not running Windows Vista or Windows 7, or if they’re not running Windows at all.

Even so, it’s all semantics, and the tricks themselves are more than useful and some of them span operating systems; like the ability to undo a move or delete right after you’ve done it so you don’t have to go fishing through the recycle bin or the destination folder looking for your file, or the ability to add items to your Send To menu to make it much more useful. There are also tips to open a command line from any window, or choose to tile or cascade windows on your display for easier viewing and organization.

They’re all useful, and take them as you need them – they’re all good to know how to do, especially for those times when you really wish it were easier to, for example, copy a file to one of your commonly used folders (you can add a “copy to folder” item to the send to menu) for example.
