Windows 7 Is there a shortcut to see how much battery you have? and how much your volume is?

[mit]

Instead of dragging the cursor all the way across the screen to hover it on top of the small tiny icon, is there shortkey that i can use to make it show the volume level and the battery level?

I never used this but read it somewhere so tell us if it works:

There does not seem to be any keyboard shortcut for the battery meter. However, Windows 7 has a super-useful Windows Mobility Center dialog that is enabled on laptops. It displays the battery meter and a few other statuses.
The keyboard shortcut to bring up this dialog is Win+X. Press Esc or Win+X to dismiss the dialog once you have noted your battery level.
