simplehelp.com has a short post about the 22 ways to use the Windows key. Here are 2 Windows key shortcuts that I use often.

• Windows Key + D: Minimize or restore all windows

usually used when there is a need to drag an item from the desktop to another window such as :

• dragging an mp3 file to Winamp
• dragging a file to store in another folder
• Windows Key + E: Launch Windows Explorer

running the explorer without using the mouse to click on ‘My Computer’

• Windows Key + L: Locks the workstation

used often to prevent people living in th same house to meddle with my pc, expecially my younger brother.

Thanks to simplehelp.com, I’m gonna start using

• Windows Key + R: Launch the Run dialog box

I use Run often when I want to open up the dos window (type in cmd.exe) and to modify the registry.
