I knew all the ones not Vista exclusive, and the Vista exclusive ones are pretty useless.

No wonder the mobility center always comes up when I play StepMania...I accidentally hit the window key when I go to hit the x key. :P
P.S. Do you still make music?

Windows Key + D to go to Desktop.
Windows Key + L to lock the workstation.

I had to lock my workstation at work everytime I left.

Those shortcuts aren't anything special.

I wonder how many of you knew that ctrl+shift+d double underlins text in Microsoft Word....

Never knew about the shutdown/restart/sleep mode keys. You would think Windows would tell you about these things.

I ripped out my Windows key, it was i pain, kept pressing it while playing games and stuff. Dont know where it is now, guess ill have to use a pen or something.

Didnt even know it did anything apart from bring up the start menu.
