Here are a few useful windows shortcuts

• Double click on a windows title bar to maximize it. Repeat to restore it. This is easier to do because the title bar is a wider area than the little square maximize button in the top right corner of a window.
• windows key + m to minimize all windows. Functions sort of like the show desktop shortcut
• select a file or shortcut icon and press alt-enter to view its properties window.
• windows key + L to do a quick log out. Useful if want to quickly zip away from your computer but don’t want to leave yourself logged in.
• windows key + e will display my computer.
