Launch Internet Explorer
Hit F1 to bring up the help screen
Click on the Search Tab
In the "keyword to find" box, type Shortcuts
Click "List Topics"
The last item in the list is "Using Internet Explorer keyboard shortcuts"
Double-click it
There you can find all the shortcut keys and their uses.

Alt + F4 = Close current program.
Ctrl + F4 = Close current window within program
Ctrl + Escape (or indeed the 'Windows key') = Open Start menu. You can then use the arrow keys to navigate, return to launch a program.
Alt + Left arrow = Back (in a browser)
Alt + Right arrow = Forward (in a browser)
Alt + space = Launch window menu of current window (the move, minimize, restore options) You can then use the arrow keys to move around the rest of the menus. Again, return to execute a menu command.

Alt + Tab = Switch between programs. Keep the Alt key pressed down and press Tab to move to the next program running. Releasing Alt will switch to that program.
