What camera do you have? Most of the newer ones will auto-orient your photos.

Just tons of keyboard shortcuts:

alt+tab when I have multiple windows open (great for gaming)
winkey + m to go to desktop
and of course alt+f4 is ftw

Alt+PrintScreen captures just the active window.

Instead of MS Paint, get Irfanview

Windows key + d would allow you to go to desktop and then restore the windows to their original positions the second time you press it.

I know most shortcuts through reptition and just overall experience. Anyone have a link to a good resource for all windows shortcuts?

One I use a lot is CTRL - + (+ on the number pad).

In Explorer view I use the detailed list view and this will automatically size the columns to fit the filename/date/size/etc/etc data.

winkey + m to go to desktop

Win + M actually minimizes the Windows, Win + SHIFT + M will restore them. It's very similar to Win + D as mentioned, but Win + D just moves the order to Desktop on top.

Any person who secretly surfs CalGuns at work, has to know about winkey + M, and Alt + tab

I still have one of these I got from woot.com in 2005ish: http://www.stealthswitch.com/

The no-handed use makes it awesome and you never look like you're scrambling for the mouse/keyboard.

Way too funny. I've got to remember this one.
