Window Logo Keyboard shortcuts to improve Productivity

When Johnny first saw a computer, the only mouse that was around used to wear a red coat and went by the first name of Mickey and every thing that he wanted the computer to do had to be typed in. 

Then the mouse was born. Soon Mankind began clicking their way to glory and when the click wheel was introduced, they began scrolling their way - well, at least to the end of the document.

Johnny did too, until he started noticing the distinctive differences between both of his arms. Something was wrong with his mouse arm (the right one). See Johnny can lift pretty much anything - but only with his left arm. With his right, he tended to drag and and more often than not, he dropped them if he did manage to lift something. (Poor Jane almost lost her toe the other day) 

So he saw this doctor who adviced him to lose the Mouse. "But I can't!", cried Johnny. Its the only way I can get my work done. How else can I browse to- er, a document? 

"Johhny, US-Americans are unable to locate the  Windows logo key because some of us don't have keyboards,but that's not the case with you. You can learn to do the same tasks - faster. Here is list of the most useful ones."

Windows Key + E - Opens Explorer.

Windows Key + F - Open search box.

Windows Key + D - Minimises all open windows to show the desktop and also reverses the effect the next
time.

Windows Key + L - Locks Windows. If you do not have a password associated with your user account, this will not prevent others users from accessing your account information.

Windows Key + M - Minimises all windows but does not reverse the effect when pressed again like Windows Key + D. Instead try Windows Key + Shift + M to do it.

Windows Key + R - Opens the Run Command Box. (once you use your keyboard more you'll need to use this run box more often)

Windows Key + F1 - Windows Help.

Windows Key + Tab - Toggle through task bar buttons.

Windows Key + Pause Break - Shows System properties.
