Here is a shortcut for the My Computer Window, A.K.A. Windows Explorer.

Ever wanted to get something from Windows explorer quickly? Here is a tip to open Windows Explorer anytime quickly.

Hit the "Windows" button and the "E" button at the same time.

Sure you can keep the My Computer  on your desktop and use the shortcut to minimize all windows but you will have to still click on the icon which is one more step. Seriously, this may seem like it only saves a few seconds but when you are able to access your files the instant you think of them I think you might enjoy the experience of your computer much better.
