Useful Windows shortcuts

Here are some of my favorite shortcuts for the Windows key (that funny looking key on the keyboard with a Windows icon on it)

Window + L : Locks your computer

Window + R : Brings up the Run dialog box

Window + E : Starts windows (not internet) explorer

Window + D : Minimizes all open windows

Window + Shift + M : Restores all minimized windows

Window + Pause : Open the system properties

Window : Just press it by itself to open the Start menu
