If you're running under Hyper-V, Alt+Home is the same thing as pressing the start button. Otherwise it's highly impractical trying to hit the bottom left corner in a floating window. You can also turn off all animations in Windows, which may speed up things in a VM (or on an older desktop): Control Panel | Ease of Access | Optimize visual display | "Turn off all unnecessary animations (when possible)" = on | OK There's also the "adjust for better performance/appearance" radio buttons that do similar stuff that might help you.
