Using either or there are usually two of them, one on a laptop keyboard so you can use either or. The Windows key once pressed will launch the start menu -- once you release the key, the menu will appear.
Get used to this key; many of the other shortcuts you will use rely on this key. Note: You may have a 'very' old keyboard that may not include the Windows Key on it. You will not be able to use this shortcut unless you get a new keyboard. There will certainly be times where you will need to access the System Properties for your computer. When you need to get to the properties, many times you will go through a pretty long exercise.
There are a couple of ways to get to the properties, most commonly by right clicking the mouse over the 'My Computer' icon on your desktop and then selecting properties from the drop down menu. If you do this very often, you may consider using this keyboard shortcut.

How do you quickly lock up your PC and allow it to be secure from immediate access at the console?
By locking it up, that's how. Using this keystroke will allow you from moving to using three keys and the mouse to navigate to a simple keystroke that will lock your system immediately. Figure 6 If you want to find files and or computers, and other random things on your system you will want to use the Search feature built into Windows XP. To use this, remember the old name for it, which was simply Find. Use this feature to find items on your system or on remote systems that you may have access and connections to.
You can also use this feature to find other computers on your network if you wanted to add the ctrl key in that keystroke sequence. If not, you can use the original keyboard shortcut and then just select Computers or people as the criteria you want to search. Try to remember the word 'desktop' when you try to remember the D, think of using this shortcut to reveal the 'desktop' and it may help you remember it.
