• Show Desktop

Is there a way to change the Show Desktop file, so instead of replicating the actions of Windows Key + D, it does the same as Windows Key + M? Currently, it is an .scf file and the contents are as follows: [code][Shell] Command=2 IconFile=explorer.exe,3 [Taskbar] Command=ToggleDesktop [/code]
Short of writing an executable to emulate that functionality, I don't believe there is any easy solution.
The main thing is finding what to type after Command=, and for this you need someone who knows much about Windows' inner workings or someone who is smart enough to find this on the internet.
[code]Set shell = wscript.CreateObject("Shell.Application") Shell.MinimizeAll[/code]throw this into notepad and save it as xxxx[b].vbs[/b] where xxxx is whatever you want it to be called. You can then create a shortcut to it and change the icon to whatever you please. Edit: if that doesn't work, use this with your choice of compilier [url]http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb774083%28VS.85%29.aspx[/url]
Thanks, works perfectly.
Good to know. If might ask, why do you need all the windows to be minimized rather than using show desktop? I do have to admit the split second minimizing animation is sweet in windows 7 but the show desktop mouseover thing is wayyyy cooler. :P
RocketDock. Also Windows XP. This way the dock doesn't disappear when I press show desktop.
Ah, nice
Oh this would be useful on Vista with the sidebar
