I'd like to think I know half of these, but that might not be true... Time to hit Alt+Shift+PrintScreen on everyones computer!
Let me add a keyboard shortcut or two!
Ctrl+Shift+Esc (Opens Task Manager)
When I want to open a command prompt with admin privileges
Win (open Start menu)
type "cmd"
Ctrl+Shift+Enter (open with administrative privileges)

Hope someone finds these helpful!
