| i saw the great satan's post on the shutdown shortcut, and it reminded me of the desktop short cut, which is naturally on the quick launch bar ive decided to show you all how to remake it create a notepad document containing the following coding [Shell] Command=2 IconFile=explorer.exe,3 [Taskbar] Command=ToggleDesktop then save this as Desktop.scf to the desktop, the name can be changed but it needs to have the .scf extension if you dont know how to change the extension, you need to toggle the option to hide extensions for known file types, which you can find when you open a folder in explorer, under Tools>Folder Options>View now, you can just drag this shortcut into your quick launch bar, but if youre like me, you'll enjoy having a nearly useless shortcut (if you dont understand why its useless, its a shortcut on the desktop to show the desktop) enjoy ![]() | ||

| ugggg.... i hate icons!!! show desktop: windowskey+d shut down: windowskey+f4 and for other lazy like minded people who hate icons... Ctrl + Escape or Win: Display start menu. Shift + F10 or AppsKey: Display context menu. Win + E: Open Windows Explorer. Win + R: Open Run dialog. Win + M: Minimize all windows. Win + Shift + M: Undo minimize all windows. Win + D: Toggle minimize all windows. Win + B (XP only): Activate system tray. Arrow keys select, Enter double-clicks, and AppsKey or Shift + F10 right-clicks. Win + L (XP Only): Locks keyboard. Similar to Lock Workstation. Win + F or F3: Open Find dialog. (All Files) F3 may not work in some applications which use F3 for their own find dialogs. Win + Control + F: Open Find dialog. (Computers) Win + U: Open Utility Manager. Win + F1: Open Windows help. Win + Pause: Open System Properties dialog. Win + Tab: Cycle through taskbar buttons. Enter clicks, AppsKey or Shift + F10 right-clicks. Win + Shift + Tab: Cycle through taskbar buttons in reverse. Alt + Tab: Display CoolSwitch. More commonly known as the AltTab dialog. Alt + Shift + Tab: Display CoolSwitch; go in reverse. Alt + Escape: Send active window to the bottom of the z-order. Alt + Shift + Escape: Activate the window at the bottom of the z-order. Alt + F4: Close active window; or, if all windows are closed, open shutdown dialog. Shift while a CD is loading: Bypass AutoPlay. Ctrl + Alt + Delete or Ctrl + Alt + NumpadDel (Both NumLock states): Invoke the Task Manager or NT Security dialog. Ctrl + Shift + Escape (XP Only): Invoke the task manager. On earlier OSes, acts like Ctrl + Escape. F6: Cycle through screen elements. Testing on this was inconclusive; I'd appreciate someone doing extensive testing on this under various circumstances, and posting the results. Printscreen: Copy screenshot of current screen to clipboard. Alt + Printscreen: Copy screenshot of current active window to clipboard. and to kill the recyclebin.... open regedit.. and delete this key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Explorer\Desktop\NameSpace\{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E} | ||
