There's a whole bunch of Windows-key shortcuts. The ones I can recall off the top of my head...

Windows+R - brings up the "Run" dialog (i.e. Start>Run).
Windows+E - starts Windows Explorer.
Windows+D - same as clicking the "show desktop" icon (minimizes all windows); doing it again at that point brings all the windows back.
Windows+L - locks the system (same as Start>Shut down>Lock).
Windows+M - Minimizes all windows (same as Windows+D but doesn't come "back" when you hit it again)
Windows+F - Opens the search ("Find") dialog.

i know about these.... i did not know about Windows Pause
