QuickLaunch "Show Desktop" As Key Combination? 1

[Peahippo]

How do I get the QuickLaunch function "Show Desktop" to perform as a key-combination function?

For example, I have an icon on my desktop that runs this:

%windir%\system32\rundll32.exe user32.dll LockWorkStation

... and I use Ctl+Alt+K to run the shortcut. That way, I do a key-combination to lock my desktop ... it's faster than Ctl+Alt+Del and then hitting K to do it.

But what parameters do I use to get the same technique to minimize all windows like QuickLaunch's function "Show Desktop" does? I'm quite tired of trying to get my mouse pointer to hit the precise spots between QuickLaunch icons, so's I can right-click and select "Show Desktop".

How about Windows key + M


And for Lock the desktop, try Windows key + L

Why note add it as an icon to the Quick Launch bar:
