Someone told me about using to open the Start menu in Windows. Are there any other handy Windows keyboard short cuts?
Windows has quite a few built-in shortcuts. These work on all versions of Windows, including Vista. <F2> - Rename selected file (in Windows) or edit selected cell (in Excel) <Shift><F3> - For any highlighted text, cycle among all-caps, lowercase, and title case. Click Format, Change Case for more options <F5> - Refresh your page in Explorer and Web browser windows <Ctrl><Esc> - Open the Start menu (useful if your mouse won't respond) <Ctrl><Space> - Reset the highlighted text to the default font (in Word) <Ctrl>mouse wheel - Zoom in and out on any page <Windows>L - Password-lock the computer (useful for locking your computer at work) <Windows>R - Open the Run dialog box <Windows>M - Minimize all windows <Windows>-D - Minimize all windows. <Ctrl>+(num keypad) - Resize a column to fit its comments (in Excel). <Windows>E - Launch Windows Explorer. 2 comments from 2 users

Greg, thanks for the great info. Yes, I am a Mac user most of the time, but I do have to run Windows on my Intel Mac (Ugh!) for programs that aren't availble for the Mac OS.
