Thanks for sharing. It beats having to minimize the 10-15 applications, word docs, and spreadsheets that I have open to get to the desktop. I never knew about the Windows D. Thanks for sharing.

Turns out they both work. In Firefox (instead of IE) you can press the forward slash key '<strong>/</strong>' to do an inline text search. In your browser to jump focus to the address bar you can press <strong>alt+d</strong> It turns out that it takes a tiny fraction of a second for you to press a key combination and it takes 1.2 seconds for (this is from the top of my head, I used to know the exact amount of time from the study). You can save a LOT of time using keyboard shortcuts. Plus it makes you look like a pro when others are watching. I was surprised to find Windows+D since I’ve always used Windows+M.
