click the first letter of your administrator account after clicking on desktop (finder) along with command key and it pops up ..very cool no more clicking HD to get to it ;)

I know no big deal, but to me it is, ;)

another one I frequently use is
command+option+eject to put the Mac immediately to sleep

command = key with Apple-logo
option = alt

just for those who still don't know it... :cool:

control+option+command shuts down the mac immediately, shift+command+A opens applications folder, shift+command+U opens utilities folder, shift+command+H opens home folder. control+F1 selects the menubar items, control+F2 selects the dock in the same way, useful if your mouse is broken.
