Below are 12 of my favorite keyboard shortcuts to use when working with Windows File Explorer. These will work for both Windows 10 and Windows 11. Show
1. Opening File ExplorerTo open the File Explorer window, simply press the Windows button ⊞ + E.  2. Set Focus on Side BarOnce your window is open, you may want to jump over to the Navigation Pane sidebar to navigate to pinned items in the Quick Access menu. Shift + Tab will move your selection from the files in the main window to the folder options in the left sidebar. (Tab will move you back to the main window). In either location, you can use your arrow keys to go up or down in the list of folders. 3. Open a New Window with the Same FolderCtrl + N will essentially duplicate the File Explorer window you are currently in. This is especially helpful when you are organizing files and moving them between various folders because you can simply drag them from window to window. 4. Close a File Explorer WindowWhen you are done with a File Explorer window (or any window, for that matter) just use Ctrl + W to close the selected window. Another option to close the window is Alt + F4. 5. Create a New FolderThe shortcut for making a new folder is Crtl + Shift + N. You will immediately be prompted to name the new folder. 6. Navigate to Other FoldersSimply hit Backspace to move to the previous folder. It's the same as using the left-pointing arrow. (This tip also works in your web browser.) An alternative option is to use Alt + ←. Likewise, Alt + → will move you to the next folder. 7. Navigate to the Parent FolderAlt + ↑ will move you to the parent folder. 8. Renaming Files and FoldersTo edit or rename a file or folder, simply hit F2 when your file is selected. (If you are on a laptop, you may have to press the Fn key when you hit F2.) If you also want to rename subsequent files/folders in your list, you can hit Tab after renaming instead of Enter, and it will jump you to the next file. This is a great way to quickly rename multiple files. To discard those changes and exit the edit mode, you can press Esc. 9. Select the Address BarCtrl + L is the shortcut to navigate to the address bar, and it automatically selects all of the text in the bar for easy copying. An alternate shortcut for this is Alt + D. These shortcuts also work in your web browser. 10. Search File ExplorerTo navigate to the Search field, just press Ctrl + F. Then you can type whatever you are looking for and hit Enter to see all of the files within the current folder that contain that word. 11. Change the ViewThere are several views that are available in File Explorer, ranging from Extra Large Icon View to Detailed List View. The two that are most used are Large Icons (Ctrl + Shift + 2) and Details (Ctrl + Shift + 6). These two options are also available as buttons in the bottom right-hand corner of the File Explorer window. The reason these shortcuts include a 2 and a 6 is because they are second and sixth in the list of view options available. A shortcut can be made for any of the other options by using the corresponding number. 12. Right-Click MenuTo open the right-click menu you can either use the Menu key or Shift + F10. Not all keyboards have a Menu key. If yours has one it will be between the Ctrl and Alt keys on the right side of your keyboard. Check out this post about my favorite Logitech keyboard which does have a Menu key. If you don't have a Menu key, you can use Shift + F10.

Carrie says: June 16, 2022 at 7:35 am Morning Jon, hope all is well with you & the fam. Thanks soooo much for these! I’m always having to move my browsers and files around to see the Desktop long enough to open a folder’s shortcut. I only knew about the F2 rename – will definitely be committing the rest to memory! Have a good one! Reply

Luc Van Kets says: June 17, 2022 at 6:56 am My favorite : window key + home : if you want to focus on only the open window and close the rest. sometimes my screen gets too chaotic Another tip I give to my colleagues. To create a folder in your Onedrive folder (or other cloud system you use) and put all your links and favorites there. Create a shortcut this folder. (I use autohotkey for this and use Window key + Q, which are very close to each other. In most cases I use this shortcut instead of the file explorer shortcut win+E). Reply
Dickson Fredrick Makwinja says: June 21, 2022 at 2:48 am This is awesome! I like it. Am gaining alot from you Jon keep it up the good work. Reply Afzal says: June 21, 2022 at 8:43 am Thanks, Jon! Reply Frank Byl says: June 27, 2022 at 11:02 am I was going to add Luc’s comments but he’s done a great job. Loved all your tips Jon. Learn something every time. The only thoughts I might add is Windows+D to minimize all the windows and show the desktop but leave Windows Explorer open. Then dragging and dropping by going to the Task bar, hovering over the new email or Windows Explorer window till it opens and then moving to the new email or Window to drop the file. Reply Frank Byl says: June 27, 2022 at 11:07 am One more idea. When I download a bunch of pictures from my phone or camera they have some usually irrelevant name. First I delete the pics I don’t want to keep, usually more then I keep ;o) and then select the first one from the event and then shift and the last one from the event. Then I rename the first one something like “Jon’s 40th Birthday” and press enter and the group of pics gets renamed Jon’s 40th Birthday (1), (2), etc. Super helpful for managing Pics with more useful names.
