Opening the "start" menu appears to be the limit for Ctrl-Esc; it doesn't
work with other key combinations.

  First, thank you for the suggestion.

  It does not appear to work for me. I suppose one presses the Ctrl key
  and the esc key simultaneously, and then the additional key that the
  programme recommends? Am I right? When I press the Ctrl key and the
  esc esc key, the Windows "Start" menu opens.
