I'm going to assume that you run Windows... all of the following are initiated by holding the windows key, then pressing the key I list below.

Windows XP and later:

Alone, no other key: Open start menu
Pause Key: System properties dialog
D: Show the desktop or return to your previous programs if pressed again
R: Open the Run dialog
E: Open Windows explorer at the top level
L: Lock the screen


Windows 7 (possibly Vista) and later:

Left: Put window on left half of monitor
Right: Put window on right half of monitor
Down: Minimize window
Up: Maximize window
Tab: Aero 3D window flip (like alt-tab, but 3D)
M: minimize all
shift+m: restore all
F: Search for a file/folder
ctrl+f: search for computers on network
T: Cycle through programs on taskbar
#: (a number key) switch to the program in that ordinal position on taskbar (useful with pinned programs that are always at the same position)
shift+#: (a number key) launch a new copy of a program at that ordinal position on taskbar
ctrl+#: Cycle through instances of program at that position on the taskbar
alt+#: jumplist


...on and on and on... I'm tired of typing, so I did a quick search and found:
