XP Keyboard Shortcuts Taskbar Address Bar

Joe,
THANKS!
When I click Ctrl/Esc it opens the Start Menu, but then Tabs don't seem to
be cycling through for me, so I experimented and if I minimize all windows
(Windows+D), then simply hit Tab it cycles through my Desktop/Start
Menu/Taskbar/Addy Bar/Systray, which works great for me!

I'd been minimizing all windows, then using Ctrl+Tab to access the
Desktop/Start/Task/QL/Systray cycle, and never realized I could simply have
hit Tab to access the desktop, then tab tab tab for those areas....

I KNEW there HAD to be a way!

Thanks,

Shane
