Ever wondered about the windows key?

It’s that little key on the lower left of your keyboard with the windows logo on it. You’ve probably figured out that much, and also probably figured out that pressing it brings up the start menu, just like clicking the start button. But did you know it can do a whole lot more?

Here’s some more shortcuts it’s useful for:

• Windows + D: Minimize or restore all windows
• Windows + E: Display Windows Explorer
• Windows + F: Display Search for files
• Windows + L: Lock the workstation
• Windows + M: Minimize all windows
• Windows + Q: Hold Windows Key, then tap Q to scroll through the different users on your PC
• Windows + R: Display Run dialog box
• Windows + U: Open Utility Manager
• Windows + Ctrl + F: Display Search for computer
• Windows + F1: Display Help and Support Center
• Windows + Pause/ Break: Display System Properties dialog box
• Windows + Shift + M: Undo minimize all windows
• Windows + Tab: Cycles through all open programs and taskbar buttons. Press [ENTER] to select.
