>>>>I should look at the computer shows or e-bay for an old keyboard. The only problem might be the connector. On my last new computer here at work I tried to use my previous keyboard but the connector was just a little bit to big. Now I have to live with the / key on the left of the right shift key and it drives me crazy!

There are only two, bt I was getting confused with another keyboard I have that has special keys that let you define special functions (you can run any command line at the touch of a button). I don't know of any combinations for the menu key. Here are the ones I know for the window key though:

Along with the URL Cindy gave you, there a several .TXT files in your windows folder (one's called TIPS.TXT) that has several neat things, including other keyboard shortcuts in it.
