- Win+Spacebar: Shows the desktop without minimizing open windows (Aero Peek).

- Win+F: Opens a Search window for finding files or folders.
- Win+Ctrl+F: Opens a Search window for finding computers on a network.
- Win+G: Cycles through Gadgets (if any are installed).
- Win+L: Locks your computer or switches users.
- Win+M: Minimizes all windows.
- Win+Shift+M: Restores minimized windows.
- Win+P: Chooses a presentation display mode.
- Win+R: Opens the Run dialog box.
- Win+T: Cycles through and previews programs on the taskbar.
