How do i get XP to Show Desktop? Like minimise everything. I know they moved most useful stuff to Start menu, but I liked that function.
 
Windows Key-M will minimise all windows
Windows Key-D will minimise everything (force show of the desktop) [auto] MCSE NT4/W2K
 
The show desktop icon is still there, but it seems not to appear until you use the Quicklaunch. If you go to Control Panel and select Appearance and Themes, you can set the Taskbar and Start Menu options. When the Quick Launch is shown an icon is there for "Show Desktop" I like it too. ;)
 
Thanks a lot. I like ikons and toolbars, but it's useful to know shortcuts as well. Both ways worked.
