It's pretty hard with modern graphical user interfaces. I'm a big fan of the mouse (I even use mouse gestures to control firefox), I'd probably go insane if I had to do without one for long.
Look at the menu bar(file, edit, view...) of the browser you're using to read this (in IE, right click the blank area below the address bar and click "menu bar" to activate the menu bar). Hold down ALT. You'll see certain letters are underlined. To access the menu, hold down ALT and type the letter that's underlined. The menu will expand, and you can use the arrow keys to select the option. Nearly every windows program has these.
In your browser (including windows file explorer), use TAB to select the next link or form element, or SHIFT+TAB to select the previous one. Enter to navigate or submit.
In IE, use F4 to select the address bar, in firefox F6. It's also selected as part of the TAB rotation.
In windows file explorer, use the arrow keys to select an adjacent file. In your browser, use the arrow keys to scroll.
To navigate between two windows, hold down ALT and then press TAB.
You can right click something selected by using SHIFT+F10.
That covers most basic functions, look up

erm to open start menu (im assuming you have a PC) then you press the windows flag key and use arrows to browse through the options and press enter to select something.
If you are on a website or MSN/AIM etc use the tab key aswell
It isn't very easy to explain..IF you need more information ask.
