Instead of notification area, my Win7 has a toolbars tab. However, that notification area sounds familiar.

You can use any of the items on the taskbar: the start button, the taskbar buttons, or the icons in the notification area(system tray). In Windows 7, you can move the focus to the start button by pressing windows key, then escape. But this doesn't work in windows 8 or 8.1. However, in windows 7, 8, and 8.1 you can press windows key + T to move to the first taskbar button, and then press alt+enter to open the properties dialog.
