  And the 2nd most useful one for techies, Win+r for the run prompt.

    win7 doesn't need a run prompt, just hit the windows key and type.

      It's slower, though. It takes longer to search through the index than to just run the program in the windows directory. For programs I run frequently, I place 1 letter shortcuts in the windows directory. That way, to launch a program I just type Win+R+[char]+Enter. You can also launch shortcuts on the taskbar using Win+[0-9], but if you already have an instance it will just show you the existing one .. which is useless because that's what Alt+Tab is for. Edit: You can also assign shortcuts like Ctrl+Alt+[char], but those are more awkward to use, and also will focus an existing instance instead of creating a new one.

        Those shortcuts are cool, but for programs in the path, you don't need to wait for search. You can hit the Win key, paste a long command line, and press Enter immediately. Or just throw down "cmd" or "regedit" before the menu has finished fading in, it still works.
