(this one i like) winkey + L ---- depending on settings, it either logs you off, fast user switches (keeps you logged on), or locks the computer. there's a lot of mouse tricks as well...when you drag/drop a file you can hold various keys to do stuff - generally when you drag a file from a folder to the desktop, it tries to create a shortcut (arrow icon) pressing: while dragging file(s) will force it to do this action: Alt ---- creates shortcut Ctrl ---- copies the items Shift ---- just moves it using combinations does nothing. [some of this has to be useful to someone :D] never knew some of those…
some others i know of include:
windows key + d —- minimises all your open windows (even dialogs) – some don’t appear in the taskbar, though if you press again before you maximise any window from the taskbar, they all come back.
winkey + r —- opens the run dialog (i use this a lot)
winkey + u —- gives access to utilities such as magnifier/screen reader
F4 while in internet explorer —- puts the cursor in address bar so you can type
alt + tab —- displays the window switcher. hold alt, press tab and it moves through the window list. release alt and it makes whatever window you selected appear. (this one i like)
winkey + L —- depending on settings, it either logs you off, fast user switches (keeps you logged on), or locks the computer.

there’s a lot of mouse tricks as well…when you drag/drop a file you can hold various keys to do stuff – generally when you drag a file from a folder to the desktop, it tries to create a shortcut (arrow icon)
pressing: while dragging file(s) will force it to do this action:
Alt —- creates shortcut
Ctrl —- copies the items
Shift —- just moves it
using combinations does nothing.
