Windows: A widely used well known operating system, with plenty of applications, games, hardware and more. Oh, and shortcuts.
You might thing you know the shortcuts of Windows. Control-Alt-Delete is one. So is Control-Shift-Escape. But there are plently more, such as these:
Windows Key + L
Locks your computer quickly! Great if you need to go out the room but have a nosy sibling.
Shift + Delete
Use this on any file and you'll permanently delete it - no recycle bin, no nothing. Gone!
Alt + F6
Multiple windows open? Don't worry. This shortcut spreads them out for you so you can find what you're looking for.
Shift + Control + N
Gotta make a new folder? But don't want to spend all that time right clicking? Press this and it'll make you a new folder.
Windows Key + M
Millions of Windows open but need to find your desktop? Press this and head back there right away by minimizing all open windows to the taskbar.
Windows Key + Space Bar
Need to view your desktop but not access it? Use this and make all open windows transparent.
Windows Key + Shift + Left Arrow or Right Arrow
If you have a dual-monitor setup, then you can use this to send windows to and from monitors.
Windows Key + Number
If you have apps pinned to the taskbar, you can use this to quickly open them.
Windows Key + T
Browse your open apps on the taskbar quickly, and hit enter on the one you want to open.
Windows Key + (+/-)
Quickly zoom in or out of the screen using Magnifier.

Windows Key + L = hell'a useful! I never leave my computer logged in
Shift + Delete = That isn't true I don't think, nothing is ever deleted properly.
All it does is skip the recycle bin and goes to the place where things deleted from the recycle bin go.
When a file is deleted from your computer, its contents aren't immediately destroyed. Windows simply marks the hard drive space as being available for use by changing one character in the file table. If you manage to start an undelete process before Windows overwrites that part of hard disk with new files. You can set that flag back to "on" and get your file.
