Keyboard shortcuts are combinations of keys that you press simultaneously to perform
specific actions. For example, from the Windows Vista desktop, press the Alt (alternate)
key, the Ctrl (control) key, and the S key (the letter S) to display support information for the
computer (including the model number, serial number, and service ID). You see this
combination of keys represented as Alt+Ctrl+S. In Windows Vista, press Ctrl+C to copy an
item that you've highlighted or selected, Ctrl+V to paste a copied item, or Ctrl+Z to undo
the previous action. These shortcuts perform the same actions that you can perform
through menus, but they save you time and mouse clicks.
