Hello Jennifer, it depends on whether the program fuw If you are just plan old 'sick and tired' of using the mouse to click on the infamous button to display the Windows Start Menu, then you simply only need to hit the 'Windows' Key. Using either or there are usually two of them, one on a laptop keyboard so you can use either or. The Windows key once pressed will launch the start menu -- once you release the key, the menu will appear.

Get used to this key; many of the other shortcuts you will use rely on this key. Note: You may have a 'very' old keyboard that may not include the Windows Key on it. You will not be able to use this shortcut unless you get a new keyboard. There will certainly be times where you will need to access the System Properties for your computer.

When you need to get to the properties, many times you will go through a pretty long exercise. There are a couple of ways to get to the properties, most commonly by right clicking the mouse over the 'My Computer' icon on your desktop and then selecting properties from the drop down menu.

If you do this very often, you may consider using this keyboard shortcut. Figure 4 The Run dialog box is used to allow you to either browse to a command to run, or simply enter the path to one if not already entered in the system's path statement. The Run dialog box is used often so this shortcut will really come in handy. Figure 5 There will surely be times where you want to quickly step away from your system and not leave it accessible to prying eyes in the office or home.

How do you quickly lock up your PC and allow it to be secure from immediate access at the console? By locking it up, that's how. Using this keystroke will allow you from moving to using three keys and the mouse to navigate to a simple keystroke that will lock your system immediately.

Figure 6 If you want to find files and or computers, and other random things on your system you will want to use the Search feature built into Windows XP. To use this, remember the old name for it, which was simply Find. Use this feature to find items on your system or on remote systems that you may have access and connections to.

You can also use this feature to find other computers on your network if you wanted to add the ctrl key in that keystroke sequence. If not, you can use the original keyboard shortcut and then just select Computers or people as the criteria you want to search. Try to remember the word 'desktop' when you try to remember the D, think of using this shortcut to reveal the 'desktop' and it may help you remember it.

Many times I am very tied up like right now with many Windows open on my system. This is because most times, I am working within multiple applications. There are times where I may want to view the desktop for one reason or another, and that can 'very' quickly be done with a keystroke.

There were many ways to minimize all Windows that may be blocking view of the desktop, but this is one of the quickest. Another very quick way is if you have the 'quick launch' toolbar setup in your Taskbar. If you do in fact have this set up, this is also a quick way to reveal the desktop, as well as to put it back again.

Figure 8 Users can start accessibility programs before logging on to the computer by using this keystroke. If you are fond of using the Utility Manager, then this keyboard shortcut will definitely help you to get to it.

Tools such as 'Magnifier' and 'Narrator' can be set to start automatically and so on with this system utility.
