The [WINDOWS KEY] usually found on your keyboard on either side of the space bar, or possibly on the outside of the [ALT] keys by pace-bar. If you don't have a [WINDOWS KEY] then this article can't help you, other then to have a general knowledge of the actions, but it seems to me that people are usually keyboard or mouse driven people, and if you don't use these commands on a regular basis, then you'll forget and never use them.

Most people use this key as a single keystroke to activate the start menu.

This key is actually used for more then your Start Menu and I use it a ton, especially when I'm using someone else's machine.

• [WINDOWS KEY] + [E] = Launch Windows Explorer
• [WINDOWS KEY] + [R] = Same as Start | Run
• [WINDOWS KEY] + [M] = Minimize all Windows
• [SHIFT] + [WINDOWS KEY] + [M] = Undo Minimize all Windows
• [WINDOWS KEY] + [D] = Toggle Desktop On|Off
  • This is the same as [M] but when you toggle all your applications are still in place, instead of being minimized.
• [WINDOWS KEY] + [U] = Launch Utility Manager
• [WINDOWS KEY] + [F] = Same as Start | Find
• [WINDOWS KEY] + [L] = Lock Computer - Same as [CTRL]+[ALT]+[DELETE] and then click or select "Lock Computer" 
• [WINDOWS KEY] + [CTRL] + [F] = Find Computers
• [WINDOWS KEY] + [TAB] = Start Bar Focus, on the application list
  • Then use [RIGHT] and [LEFT] arrow keys to move back and forth, press [ENTER] to activate application.
• [CTRL] + [WINDOWS KEY] + [TAB] = Ever wanted keyboard access to your system tray?
  • This is VERY helpful if you end up mouseless.
  • It's kinda weird, some systems make you [WINDOWS KEY] + [TAB] to set focus to the start bar application list, then [CTRL] + [WINDOWS KEY] + [TAB] will move over tot he System Tray.
• [WINDOWS KEY] + [BREAK] = Launch System Properties

If you know of more, send me an e-mail ( scottc@myKBPro.com ) and I'll get them posted.

Happy Coding
