Even those of us who are consumate mouse-clickers, we still should be open to faster, easier ways to do some things on our PC's! Let me show you a nifty shortcut to get around your PC.
Windows key
On your keyboard is a nifty key that does more than just perplex you as to its purpose - it's the windows key!
Step2
Windows + E
Pressing the windows key quickly will bring up the 'Start' menu immediately. Nifty, huh? Holding the windows key, plus striking the 'E' key will open Windows Explorer - MUCH easier than the mouse-click way to get there!
Step3
Now for a few more neat tricks, since you are familiar with the Windows key! Windows key + F = opens a search window to find files and folders. and the final tip for the day: Windows key + M = will minimize all the open applications so you can see your desktop!
