How to minimize all open windows with just one click?

Often, we tend to work with multiple windows open at the same time. Suddenly, we may want to see some information stored on our desktop. Only if we minimize all open windows, would we be able to see the desktop. It would definitely take time. So, in such a situation, how to see the desktop with just one click?

Here is the solution:

In the previous article, I wrote about how to display the quick launch toolbar. Do you remember?

In the quick launch toolbar, there is an icon named "Show Desktop" (as shown in the figure below).





Clicking on this icon will minimize all the open windows and show the desktop. If you click it again, it will restore the windows to their original position.

Alternatively, if your keyboard has windows key (usually will be between the Ctrl & Alt keys in the keyboard), then press winkey and 'D' key. This works exactly the same way as "Show Desktop" icon. Pressing this Winkey & 'D' combination for the second time would restore the windows to their original position.

Pls try it out and see. Let us see more such tips in the coming articles. Good luck!!
