How many times has this happened to you? You have several windows open on your computer, but you need to access a shortcut on your desktop to open another program. You drag the cursor to the top right corner and minimize window after window. You're well on your way to carpal tunnel syndrome.

Try this instead. Press the Windows key (found on your keyboard between CTRL and ALT) and the letter M at the same time. Voila! All windows are minimized and you're looking at your desktop.

You can also press the Windows Key and the letter E at the same time to open Windows Explorer.
