Hi Amando,
The windows key is on most keyboards manufactured today. It is found on the 
second key to the left and right of the space bar on most keyboards. It has 
many useful commands. for instance:

windows key + c
This function appends the clipboard

windows key + r
invokes the run command

windows key + m
minimizes everything and puts focus on the desktop

windows key + d
Just puts focus on the desktop

windows key + u
invokes the windows utility manager

this is just a couple of the commands. there is many more but these are what 
I use the most often.

Rich
