One of my favorite Windows tips is pressing Windows key + X to bring up a very handy menu that has a lot of very handy Windows features (like Device Manager, Network Connections, Programs & Features, System etc). It used to include the Control Panel as well, but I guess MS have removed it for some typically bizarro reason. 




It's there only it's called "Settings" now (towards the bottom).
 
I like Windows Key + L for a quick lock of the computer.

Now that is useful!

Since I have to often put clients on a work domain, I also like the Windows + Pause combination to see the system properties.

We didn't know that here either.
Is there a manual or something somewhere?
 
Just kidding. Something my customers say to me after I clean viruses from their pc's and such.

I like the Windows+Pause. That will be handy.
 
I found one a while back that I like as well. CTRL+Shift+Esc brings up the task manager.
