boooooonot trying to sell you anything here but gives you some ideas anyway *

http://www.microsoft.com/mspress/books/6848.aspxWin + E brings up Windows Explorer.
now are you just TALKING about NATIVE windows xp stuff, or addon programs made by microsoft or affiliates?
WELL if you want to know the shortcuts:
= display/hide the Start MENU
+ Pause = display the Systems Properties page
+ R = display the Run dialog box
+ M = minimize all windows
+ D = minimize all windows. PRESS again and desktop apps reappear.
+ Shift + M = undo minimize all windows
+ F1 = starts Windows Help (F1 by itself brings up Help in the current application)
+ E = start Explorer at Desktop folder level
+ F = start Find Files/Folders dialog box
+ F + CNTL = start Find Computer dialog box
+ B = Sets focus on the task bar, navigate by using the arrow keys; press ENTER to open applications.
+ TAB = cycle through taskbar buttons
+ BREAK = display Systems Properties panel

If you have the IntelliType software from Microsoft, additional special key combinations become available, such as + C= Start Control Panel.

+ L = lock the desktop

Well those are the Winkey commands witch I can remember. (with some help of Google)

Jonas well thats a start, thanks
