Numlock for numbers...Numlock is great for those of us with a right hand who type numbers. Easier to type out numbers without looking. And as Drunken Miss Ho says... anyone who has had that summer job doing "data entry" learns the speed advantage. I don't think I ever use the "normal" numbers.
[f2] is used to rename things. Very handy if you are too lazy to do it another way.
[f7] is self destruct.
[Print Screen] - snaps a screenshot to the clipboard.

However, it can be remapped. I've a mouldy old ThinkPad which doesn't have a Windows key... or does it?
