I'll start...

don't do this next one until you want to:

Ctrl + L    lock your computer, or switch user

ctrl f will open a search window so you can search out any word on a page.

win + E = explorer
win + R = run box
win + L = locks comp
win + break = my computer properties
ctrl + shift + esc = task manager.


I have a bunch more I use but those are the major ones.
