Forgotten Key

[JSKY]

The Windows logo key, located in the bottom row of most computer keyboards is a little-used treasure. Don't ignore it. It is the shortcut anchor for the following commands:

# Windows Display the Start menu

# Windows + D: Minimize or restore all windows

# Windows + E: Display Windows Explorer

# Windows + F: Display Search for files

# Windows + Ctrl + F: Display Search for computer

# Windows + F1: Display Help and Support Center

# Windows + R: Display Run dialog box

# Windows + Break: Display System Properties dialog box

# Windows + Shift + M: Undo minimize all windows

# Windows + Tab: move through taskbar buttons

# Windows + L: Lock the workstation (or switch to the Logon screen w/Fast User Switching enabled)

# Windows + U: Open Utility Manager

Thanks the one I learned a long time back was W + D and I use it almost daily!

ya many people forget it is a useful key.....mostly it just becomes a hastle during gameplay when you accidentally hit it and it minimizes your game and opens the starte menu lol

Thanks JSKY,

That was indeed useful....going to print this out and keep by computer until I know these by heart.

Windows + m will also show the desktop.

Take Care.

Alt + F4 will close down any open window. Great if you don't have a pop up stopper and those pop ups come faster then you can X out of them.
