Getting used to using your keyboard exclusively and leaving your mouse behind will make you much more efficient at performing any task on any Windows system. I use the following keyboard shortcuts every day:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Windows key R = Run menu

This is usually followed by:

cmd = Command Prompt

iexplore "web address" = Internet Explorer

compmgmt.msc = Computer Management

dhcpmgmt.msc = DHCP Management

dnsmgmt.msc = DNS Management

services.msc = Services

eventvwr = Event Viewer

dsa.msc = Active Directory Users and Computers

dssite.msc = Active Directory Sites and Services

Windows key E = Explorer

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

ALT Tab = Switch between windows

ALT, Space, X = Maximize window

CTRL Shift Esc = Task Manager

Windows key Break = System properties

Windows key F = Search

Windows key D = Hide/Display all windows

CTRL C = copy

CTRL X = cut

CTRL V = paste

Also don't forget about the "left-click" key next to the left Windows key on your keyboard. Using the arrows and that key can get just about anything done once you've opened up any program.
