I'm a rodent-averse user who can't find a current list of Vista hotkeys.
Perhaps they are supposed to be the same as the XP ones listed at
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;301583

but with my Vista Business SP1

* I can't force the Welcome screen (to bypass default user boot) by holding
shift during Windows boot,

and I also find that

* alt-return does not return the properties of a selected object. I know I
can right-click the object but that means another touch on that damnned
mouse...
 
Alt + Enter brings up the properties when I try it.

If you use the terminology of keyboard shortcuts in the windows help and
support that should take you to what you are looking for.
The Help and Support is built into Windows Vista. You will find it on your
start menu.
 
thanks Gary. Dammit, since reading your reply, alt-return now DOES open
properties! For the last 2 weeks it has not done so...!?

Have yet to re-boot to see if holding shift brings up Welcome screen...

Anyway, thanks for taking the time to reply.
