Title: No minimize all windows in XP? Can we add it back?
Post by: Anonymous on October 26, 2001, 10:14:04 AM

I just noticed there is no minimize all windows anymore when you right click the taskbar in WinXP (wonder why they did that). Does anyone know of a way to add this back in? Its driving me nuts since I used it ALOT.

You can allways click \"show the desktop\" to hide your windows . Why it\'s no longer there? I really don\'t know , I even didn\'t notice

try \"win + m\" to minimise all windows
to reverse \"win + shift + m\"

only if you have a KB with a win key =) plus I like the old way, rather have a way to do via right click.

If your keyboard isn\'t an ancient artifact, then you should have a windows key on it.  Pressing \"Windows\" + \"M\"  or
\"Windows\" + \"D\"  minimizes all windows and is easily as fast or faster than dragging a mouse over, right clicking, then left clicking.  \"Windows\" + \"D\" will also maximize all windows.

go:
control panel>
taskbar/start menu>
click on \"show quick launch\"

Now you have it...back.
