Windows XP and Explorer

Quickly Minimize all Windows

SUMMARY: Get quick access to your Windows XP Desktop with a couple of keystrokes.
 
Did an incorrect key strike cause a browser window to appear with some content that you wouldn't want others to see? Or, perhaps another window is flashing on the taskbar, asking for attention, and you need to quickly hide the currently open window from view. To quickly minimize all of the open windows, placing them on the taskbar, just press WINDOWS+D. This performs the same thing as if you had right-clicked on the taskbar and chosen "Show the Desktop", but this keyboard shortcut is much quicker.

Press WINDOWS+D again and your hidden window will reappear.
