File Explorer is where most of us spend a lot of time — opening folders, copying files, renaming documents. But instead of clicking endlessly, you can use shortcuts to do it all faster.
Here are the most useful ones:
- Ctrl + Shift + N – Create a new folder
- Alt + Up Arrow – Go up one level
- Alt + Left / Right Arrow – Go back or forward
- F2 – Rename selected item
- Ctrl + W – Close current File Explorer window
- Alt + Enter – Open file or folder properties
Try using these for a day and you’ll feel the difference — File Explorer suddenly becomes smoother, cleaner, and more fun to use.
