There are two different Windows keys as shown below. The keyboard repeats the
Windows Start key on either side of the Space bar.
Windows Start Key. This key opens the Windows Start menu
on the taskbar. In combination with other keys it provides
short cuts to some Windows functions. See Windows help for
more information.
Windows Pull-down Menu key. When an item is selected and
