Use your Windows Key!
      #348507 - Sat May 19 2007 10:31 AM

The Windows logo key, located in the bottom row of most computer keyboards is a little-used treasure. Don''t ignore it. It is the shortcut anchor for the following commands:

Windows: Display the Start menu
Windows + D: Minimize or restore all windows
Windows + E: Display Windows Explorer
Windows + F: Display Search for files
Windows + Ctrl + F: Display Search for computer
Windows + F1: Display Help and Support Center
Windows + R: Display Run dialog box
Windows + break: Display System Properties dialog box
Windows + shift + M: Undo minimize all windows
Windows + L: Lock the workstation
Windows + U: Open Utility Manager
Windows + Q: Quick switching of users (Powertoys only)
Windows + Q: Hold Windows Key, then tap Q to scroll thru the different users on your pc.

I'll update this list when i find more!

but the one I use most of all is:

Windows + Pause...->SysProps>Hardware>Device Manager

(first post)
(Edit)Sorry folks, just spotted Pause is also break key (covered by OP)
However my post might add a little
