I tend to be lazy sometimes and I don't want to use the mouse to look stuff up. If there are shortcuts, I'll take them. So, here are a few that can save you a few clicks here and there. Practice them and you'll be an expert in no time.
(When I write 'Windows', I'm referring to the key which is two to the left of the space bar on our key board.)
Windows M - Select both the Windows key and M at the same time and it will minimize all your windows.
Windows D - Similar to Windows M and will give you your desktop.
Windows E - Calls up your Explorer so that you can see your drives.
Control Alt . . .
Ever want to call up an application really fast instead of looking for it in Start/All Programs or even creating a whole bunch of desktop shortcuts? Try this. Suppose you want use Excel. Look for Excel by going to Start/All Programs/and right-click on Excel. Then select Properties. Where it says Shortcut Key, hold down Control Alt E, then hit OK. The next time you want to launch Excel, hold down Control Alt E. You'll need to use this command sparingly in case there are some keyboard shortcuts already reserved.
