Let's start with the WinKey. This is the key with the backwards Windows flag
or logo on it, which you may not have, depending on your keyboard.

      WinKey + D =  Minimizes all windows and shows the desktop

      WinKey + Pause = Opens System Properties

Using the keyboard, you might find these useful.

      CTRL+Tab = Switches between multiple tabbed windows in the same
program

Recycle Bin
