Ctrl+Esc brings up the Start menu. F5 refreshes the active window or the Desktop. Shift+F10 is a context menu for the selection that works across the system and other Windows 95-compliant applications. If you have a Microsoft Natural Keyboard, the Windows key invokes the Start menu, and the Applications key brings up the Context menu. Also, Windows+R is for Run, and Windows+E brings up Explorer.
You can define your own hot keys for most shortcuts on your system, and it will work no matter what window has the focus. To do this, right-click on the shortcut and select 'Properties', then the 'Shortcut' tab. Look for the 'Shortcut Key' dialog. In this dialog box you can enter just about any combination of SHIFT, CTRL, ALT and any other key, even numbers. You can also do the same for most program files (e.g. *.COM, *.BAT, *.PIF). Right-click the file, select 'Properties', then the 'Program' tab.
