LS_Dragons Posted May 7, 2003 Share Posted May 7, 2003 What's the "Windows" key for?--------------------------------------------------------------------------------The 'Windows' key is on most modern keyboards but most people don't make proper use of it - here's how:Beyond just clicking on it to open the Start menu, it has plenty of other uses:Minimise all Windows 'Windows' + D A quick way to get rid of the screen clutter and find the desktop icons. To show all the windows again: 'Windows'+Shift+MJump to Explorer 'Windows'+ ETo see the Windows Explorer quicklyCycle across the Taskbar 'Windows'+ TabThough Alt + Tab will do the same thingSearch 'Windows' + FIs it Search or is it Find? It's called Search on the menu but the shortcut harks back to the days when it was called Find.Run 'Windows'+ RSome people never use the Run command but others do it all the time. Most commonly to access the registry (rededt32) or a 'DOS' command box (cmd).System Properties 'Windows'+ BreakThis is the equivalent of clicking the System icon in Control Panel or the Properties option under the My Computer desktop icon.From "Woody's Windows Watch" newsletter.
