Hey, while we're at it, lets get rid of a few other keys LOSERS don't use! Like the right shift key! I only use left shift, so therefore, it should be gone!

Oh yeah, Pause/Break? Who needs it!

The ` is a stupid character because I said so. Let's off it too!




Whoever thought up this idea is a moron. No offense to anyone who wants it gone.

Actually, if you want it gone, all offense to you

Eh I don't care about the key. I don't have any problems with hitting it or anything. To me it's just there for no reason and I don't pay much attention to it . It didn't do anything to me so why should I want it gone?

*raises hand* I actually abuse the Windows key. Why?

I'm not sure if there's another shortcut to it, but I do know that it's convenient for me.

I dunno about the menu thingy.. I've only used it when my mouse goes on the fritz on my old computer...

Sometimes I find myself using the shift keys instead of using caps lock when I type in capitals and such. *shrugs* But I know I do use the caps lock key... Usually when programming is involved...

I also use the windows key all the time ever since KirbyNite showed me that I could minimize all windows at once. Sometimes I just get tired of using the mouse and relay solely on the keyboard....it takes awhile to do some tuff but it works!

Window Key + D is "Show Desktop."

Minimize all will do the same thing, but with one bad side effect. Pushing it again won't resize the windows.

Show Desktop is greater because pushing it once will show the desktop, minimizing everything. Pushing the keys again will bring them all back up.

I seldom use the Windows key. In fact... I actually use Ctrl+esc instead of the Windows key. I did that alot on my 486 which have no Windows key and i'm still so used to it...

Win+M often doesn't work for me. Now that I know about Win+D though, I'll prolly use it instead (except when I shut down, since I use Hibernate I always minimize everything in case someone else starts it back up).
Probably my most used key combo is Win+R for Run. I use that like 20 times an hour.
