Windows and Outlook shortcut keys

Windows Key shortcuts
 
Windows + E = Windows Explorer

Windows + M = Minimize all windows (show desktop)

Windows + Shift + M = Restore all windows (reset status from Windows + M)

Windows + Break = System Properties

And best of all for a techie...
Windows + R = Run dialog box
 
A common workaround for shops that lock down
mapping a known network drive in Windows Explorer.
You might try Windows + Run, open "CMD", and
execute the "net use" command.
If that is locked down, try the old DOS
approach - Windows + Run, open "COMMAND", and
execute the "net use" command. Often overlooked, never unappreciated!
