Keyboard Tips

USE OF THE WIN KEY

Does your computer keyboard have the Windows key? (It might have the little "fluttering flag" icon on it.) If so, then there are several keyboard shortcuts you might want to know about for some commonly performed actions. Such as: first, just pressing the WinKey by itself will open the Start Menu. Then, if you want to open an Explorer window, you press the WinKey and the E key. Or you can open Windows Help by pressing WinKey and the F1 key. You can open a Find dialog by WinKey and the F key. You open the Run dialog box by WinKey and the R key. You can minimize all open windows by WinKey and the M key. And there are lots of others. Experiment around to find them.
