definately going to go with the numlock key on my laptop..... i use windows key shortcuts all the time. microsoft has a good list of them for windows 7 here (click me). i actually use the pause key often whem im booting a computer that goes by the bios so fast due to a crappy LCD monitor attached to it. press pause when it beeps first and then it waits til you do something else to continue! Scroll lock is useful when working in large excel spreadsheets, and i have mirc using ~ instead of / for command prefixes. I thought about the menu open key below the right shift, but seriously.... who freakin needs numlock on a damn laptop...
