Use of "Windows" key

Uses of the "Windows" key in Win 98 SE:

This one has been lifted from Windows Help long ago. But so many of us never bother to go through that. Right?

1. WINDOWS+BREAK
Display the System Properties dialog box

2. WINDOWS+D OR WINDOWS+M
Minimize or restore all windows

3. SHIFT+WINDOWS+M
Undo minimize all windows

4. WINDOWS+E
Display Windows Explorer

5. WINDOWS+R
Display the Run command

6. WINDOWS+F
Display Find: All Files

7. CTRL+WINDOWS+F
Display Find: Computer

81. WINDOWS+TAB
Cycle through buttons on the taskbar

9.WINDOWS+F1
Display Help

i know them all :roll: :roll: :roll: wat's so special abt it???

all these are listed in HELP AND SUPPORT

a little bit of clarification

Windows + M = Minimize windows , it will minimize all windows which are in taskbar

Windows + D = Show Desktop , it will minimize windows and hide all other windows which may not be visible on taskbar ( ex display properties, folder options, etc )

Check out PCQ Linux. They have modificed the code and done that. We can use the key to open the menu the same way we can do it in Windows.

Hey TuxFan .. You can customize WinKey in Windows too ...
WinKey will do it for you ..

Thanks for link.

I have 2 keyboards (one old which I use most without Window Key)

So I really have not used it often (habbit)

One key I use is Win+D (for Desktop)

I think Win+D is a much better option than the Win+M that I was using all this while. Also, didn't realise win+break for the system properties. Thanks for this nice post.
