Windows-B puts you on the system tray. Pressing the "notification chevron"
button there adds some items that are not visible by default. You navigate
among items with left and right arrows.
Windows-T puts you on the taskbar. Taskbar programs, some of which are
running and others of which are "pinned" to it, are in a left-to-right list.
If you select one, you can use the applications key or shift-F10 to open a
list of right-click options for that program, many of which will be useful.
Any program that is on the taskbar, whether it is running or not, can be
started by pressing Windows combined with a number from 1 to 9, where the
number represents its left-to-right position on the taskbar.
There are even more Windows-key shortcuts in Windows 8; I don't know what we
will find in Windows 10.
I don't worry much about which programs are on the desktop; if they are,
though, I can always type the first letter or two of their name to bring
them into focus, then Enter.
If you open the start menu and find a program there, its context menu
options should include pinning it to the taskbar or putting a shortcut to it
on the desktop.

Lots, most are the same that XP had.
Windows-m will plop you on the desktop.
Windows-d is a toggle. Hit it once and you are on the desk top, hit it
again and you are back in your aplication.
Windows-f is a search depending on your setup the search options may differ.
Windows-l pops you to the login screen.
Windows-p goes to the projector dialog.
There are probably more.
