Since I don't have explorer on my start menu and it opened with
windows key plus E, I looked into it. This is from
http://www.worldstart.com/tips/tips.php/990
the Windows key will open various Windows tools...
"...Windows key + R will open the Start menu's Run box
Windows key + F will open the Start menu's Find window
Windows key + E will quickly launch Explorer
Windows key + Pause/Break will open the System Properties window
Windows key + M will Minimize all windows
Windows key + Shift + M will undo Minimize all windows
Windows key + D will switch between minimizing all open programs and showing
them all
Windows key + Tab will cycle through items on the taskbar
Windows key by itself will open the Start menu
