Amazing shortcut. I knew most of them, but the F2 one will definitely come in handy.

Didnt know about these before, and they look useful, too. Thanks.

I used to use this but i just rebinded my mouse forward and back to do that for me. God i love side buttons. as far as renaming just click on the name in the right spot and wait and it will allow you to rename.

hahahahahahahaha, good luck with that ^_-

Its so easy renaming MP3's I should make a video about it using all the shortcuts.

What I do is open the album folder click the first song hit f2, rename the file (in the format of ## Title - Artist - Album) once I do that I ctrl+C the 'Artist - Album' and then press enter. Down arrow, f2 rename ## Title Ctrl+V. Rinse repeat.

Or if you wanna look like a pro just rename all the ## Title first. Then go back to the top and do the ' - Artist - Album' with space before the first hyphen and just spam f2, ctrl+V, enter, down arrow, over and over.

Then I go into properties and copy everything.

waywaywaywaywayway too much work

I don't like these tag programs. I wanna rename the files/folders/ID3 how I want them and even if I am allowed to do that with this program (by setting up my format), i'd still have to fix spelling errors, capitalize, rename each song title anyways. and you still have to put thr tracks into order and specify which is which.
and I'll usually fill the comments with featured artists or producers and what not.

I'll dl and check it out though.



Use this program + windows commander (total commander it's called now).

This is what i do (I like to have every song named in small letters and including the artist)
step 1: mp3tag action tag to filename (i get artist - track)
step 2: total commander mass rename - all lowercase
step 3: mp3tag action filename to tag (i get the same thing in the tag only with small letters)

total commander also has a function to capitalize each first letter of the file name (first letter of each word lowercase), and also mass rename in case there are spelling mistakes that appear a lot of times.

I get like 200-300 new songs a month. If i were to manually rename everything I would go insane.
Im not a n00b, I just play like one.

holy shit i never knew about the F2 thing.

I remember I rejoiced when I first learned about win+m and win+d, when some Dell computer came with a list of about 20 shortcuts

F2 is awesome, it only highlights the filename and not the extension as well.

Lawl @ some people not knowing F2.
Some more good stuff, hope it wasn't mentioned already:

Backspace = go back (browser) or to parent folder (Explorer)
Alt + double click = properties of selected item (often faster than Alt + Enter)
Shift + Delete = delete, don't move to recycle bin
Windows key, then Esc, then Tab to cycle through elements in the taskbar. Not really useful but w/e.
Ctrl + Tab = switch to next sub-window/tab
Alt + PrintScreen = screenshot current window only (PrintScreen = screenshot full desktop). The screenshot is saved in the clipboard in case you didn't know (so open up Paint or something and paste it in)
Ctrl + Shift + Esc = task manager
Ctrl + Pos1/Home = go to start of document
Ctrl + End = go to end of document
Windows + [1-4]: open respective quicklaunch item

Not a shortcut but closely related:
To copy/paste from a command prompt (Win+R "cmd"), right-click on the cmd window bar -> properties -> quick edit mode. Paste text into window: right-click. Copy text from window: select it and press right-click, then it's in the clipboard.
Still sucks but at least it's *possible*.

One thing to keep in mind for Explorer:
When drag'n'dropping a file to the same partition/device, the action is MOVE
When drag'n'dropping a file to another partition/device, the action is COPY

Firefox shortcuts:
Alt + Left/Right = back/forward
/ = search
' = search on links only
Ctrl + L = go to location bar
Ctrl + K = go to search bar
middle mouse button on a link (or Ctrl + click) = open it in new tab
middle mouse button on a tab = close tab
Ctrl + W = close tab
Ctrl + J = downloads
