Occasionally when I've turned off my computer monitor I still have the Windows Media Player playing songs on a playlist and I want to skip to the next song. It's kind of annoying to have to turn on the monitor and mouse to the skip button to click it. I tired right-clicking on the skip button to see what the hotkey is, but it only shows "Fast Foward CTRL-SHIFT-F". Well CTRL-SHIFT-F does exactly that- fast forwards a song but not skip it. It turns out to skip a song, you have do a CTRL-F. Of course if you have one of those keyboards with the skip button then you don't have to deal with it, but CTRL-F is the way to go for the PCs without those multimedia keyboards. Oh and to pause a song you would hit CTRL-P, and the same to resume playing. To go back to the last song, do a CTRL-B.
To make sure all these hotkeys work you have to have WMP selected as the foreground window. Then turn off the monitor, save some electricity, and party away!
