Windows Button Shortcuts

Most PC keyboards have a special “Windows” button that looks something like this...

When some programs like KidPix or Kidspiration run, they take up your whole screen. There may be
times while using these programs that you want to get back to your desktop without quitting the program and losing your work. Clicking the "Windows" button activates your bottom task bar. From there you can view other files or programs on your computer.

Here are some other shortcuts:

+ Space Bar = peek at your desktop
+ D = minimize all windows and show the Desktop
= M = minimize all windows
+ 1 (or 2,3 etc) = open the task bar program of the corresponding order
+ Down Arrow = minimize current window
+Up Arrow = maximize the current window
+Plus Sign or Minus Sign = zoom in, zoom out
