windows 98 and 2000 had it but xp does not

[killadoob]

remember in 98 and 2000 if you have like 7 windows open there was a button on the taskbar that put back to your desktop without having to minus 5 things


where is that in windows xp? im tired of closing 5 things to get to the desktop

windows key + d


thanks - flowers and chocolates not necessary.

 

[Moederloos]

for the record:

windows key (wk)

wk + e = explorer
wk + m = minimize all
mk + tab = tab through task bar items
wk + d = desktop


those are the most common - try some more and post here!

In XP, lower left next to START button (make sure Quick Launch is enabled) and their should be an icon called... wait for it... SHOW DESKTOP

 

[bekdik]

In taskbar enable quicklaunch toolbar then you'll have an icon

...or Right-click the task bar and select Show the Desktop

yup, for moments when your LEFT HAND is busy "elsewhere" and you just CANNOT use that wk+d combo...

please note: shaving your palms is NOT a sin

 

[CodeMaster]

Yeah, I use it when my left hand is busy, but not like you...

 

[mancombseepgood]

WK + Pause = System properties.

and the difference between Windows + m and Windows + d ... ?

 

[Juggy]

and the difference between Windows + m and Windows + d ... ?

Windows+M is minimise.
Windows+D is show desktop.

If you had windows maximised pushing windows+D once would show the desktop and then again would bring them back where as windows+m wouldn't as it minimises them.

 

[thed33p]

Win+E - Explorer
Win+R - Run
Win+F - Find
Win+Pause - System Properties
Win+M - Minimise All
Win+D - Show Desktop
Win+U - Utilities Manager

That's the lot, I think

 

[Farquaon]

This is the same?

WK+D = WK+M
