• WinKey + D:  Minimize all windows and show the display the desktop.
• WinKey + M:  Minimize all windows.
• WinKey + SHIFT + M:  Restore minimized windows.
• WinKey + E:  Open Windows Explorer.
• Windows + F:  Open the search dialog.
• CTRL + WinKey + F:  Open search dialog for computers.
• WinKey + F1:  Open Windows help dialog.
• WinKey + L:  Lock the keyboard.

I use the WinKey + M, E , R, and L key combinations all the time.
