Hack the Windows Logo Key
What if your keyboard has no Winkey? Strictly speaking, you don??™t really
need it, but there are a bunch of nifty keyboard shortcuts you can only do
with the Winkey, such as Winkey+D to show the desktop, Winkey+R to run
a program, and Winkey+Tab to use the Flip 3D task switcher.
To give your keyboard a Winkey, or any other key it doesn??™t have, you need
a keyboard remapping tool.
