Show Desktop Keyboard Shortcut

  • Users of Windows are likely to be familiar with the Show Desktop button located in the taskbar. In Windows XP this can be found in the Quick Launch area (normally located next to the Start button) and on Windows 7 can be found as a narrow bar on the far right-hand side of the taskbar. However, a very useful keyboard shortcut to achieve the same effect (minimising all open windows and show the desktop) is the Windows Key + D. Thanks to Gareth for providing this tip.

Hi there. If this is the first time you are posting a comment it will not appear immediately, but needs to be approved. This is necessary in order to combat comment spam. However, once you have submitted a comment (which is subsequently approved) you do not need to go through this process again - the site remembers who you are and auto-approves your comments. Nifty eh? Anyway, sorry about the inconvenience that this may cause for your first comment post.
