windows-r brings up a mini command line.  When I used windows I used
that for pretty much all of my application launching.  Sure it mean
you had to remember "excel" but "winword" and "powerpnt", but with
command-line completion that wasn't too heavy.

I could never quite work out where these names were registered
(they're not in PATH, but are the short names which respond to "start
progname" in command line, I rifled through the registry a couple of
times to try to work it out, unsuccessfully).

I'd note that windows-m isn't as useful as you'd think for hiding pron
as it responds very slowly in some cases as every window has to
respond and animate the minimize window command.  The "Show Desktop"
option is quicker, though I forget what keyboard combination that's
mapped to.
