Windows key shortcuts?

[Fluff]

Win Key + Break = System properties
Win Key + D = Show desktop
Win Key + R = Run box
Win Key + E = Brings up explorer
Win Key + L = Lock machine

Know of any others that are handy?

[az]

Winkey+M = minimize all.

Winkey + D a second time = restore program windows (when desktop was shown)

Winkey + Shift + M = restore minimized windows

Winkey + F = search

Winkey + ctrl + F = Find computer

Winkey + F1 = Windows Help (where you can find all the winkey combinations )

Winkey + R = Run

Winkey + U = manager for screen magnifier and screen keyboard

Euhm, slightly on topic: what is that shortcut to open taskmanager, but with the processes view open?

(I know there is one, ctrl-alt-del opens taskman with the last view open)

You know ... I recently got a new keyboard with a "Windows" key on it for my HTPC and I've never used that key (don't even notice it). I've been using the same clackety keyboard now on my desktop system for something like 16 years so it predates MSFT keyboards (and even a PS/2 connection). I'll have to experiment with the key now ...

I'm actually bothered by the Windowskey (my PC at work has it), and I never use it. So at home I use an old Cherry Business keyboard (those heavy ones, with the wide space near the top), and have 5 exact same keyboards which I keep as spares.
Seeing that I'm still on my first one after 8 years, I guess those 5 will last me a lifetime.

Now if I could just "ctrl+c" and "ctrl+v" to my Brain to memorize all these shortcuts....ROFL!!!!

[Jammrock]

I use the Win + D, E, R, Pause/Break; Alt+F4 shortcuts the most. I find that those shortcuts are the most common used for my administrative work.

[ALBPM]

We forgot the "alt + tab" which is nice when you have 20 some applications open at the same time.

[az]

Oh yes. And ctrl+tab which switches between subwindows of applications, and between tabs (like those in display properties).
