Nestled between your Control and Alternate keys is the Windows key. And just like those keys, it is also used for shortcuts. If you're busy typing and would prefer not to use your mouse, the Windows key can be a great timesaver!
By itself, the Windows key can be used to open the Start Menu. Hold it down like Control and Alternate to access shortcuts like these:
Windows + D shows the desktop. Hit Windows + D a second time and all your windows are restored.
Windows + E opens the Windows Explorer. (My Computer/My Documents).
Windows + Pause/Break shows System Properties.
Windows + R opens the Run dialog box.
