You probably know you can launch the Task Manager by right-clicking on the Task Bar and then click on the Task Manager on the context menu. But do you know it can also be done by pressing Ctrl-Shift-Esc, directly from within any Windows application?
Along the same line, Ctrl-Esc will bring up the Start Menu. Followed by R, you can get to the Run dialog box in three keystrokes. (On a keyboard with a Windows key, it’s possible with just two keystrokes. But that’s a later story.)

Unless you have an earlier entry in the Start menu that starts with “R”, such as Remote Desktop
