Win + Up / Down: open the maximum size and lower the current working window to the system tray.

Alt + Esc: is similar to Alt + Tab but in order the programs are opened, and there is no preview mode.

Win + Pause / Break: displays the system properties window:

Ctrl + Esc: Display Start Menu

Ctrl + Shift + Esc: Open the Task Manager driver instead of Ctrl + Alt + Del
