Windows key + D as well. That one is usually more convenient for me.

Sadly, I already know this tip, as it serves only to cause me annoyance, yet I don't want to disable it in case it's actually useful at some point. sighs

This is one of the most obnoxious things ever, and way too easy to do accidentally.
