Do
this many times to give yourself a headache. (If your keyboard has no Winkey,
see ???Who Doesn??™t Love Keyboard Shortcuts?,??? later in this chapter.)
Show Desktop
Don??™t want to use the keyboard? Just locate the Quick Launch toolbar,
the little row of tiny buttons on the far left of your taskbar, and click the
Show Desktop button (the blue rectangle in Figure 2-4). Give the button
another click to restore the windows.
If the Quick Launch toolbar isn??™t there, right-click an empty area on
your taskbar and go to Toolbars ??? Quick Launch. If you don??™t see the
Customize Windows Explorer | 35
Shell Tweaks
Show Desktop button, it may be buried inside the tiny white arrows;
otherwise, see the ???Make a Show Desktop Button??? sidebar for tips.
You can also right-click an empty area of the Taskbar, and select Show
the Desktop to do the same thing as the button. Then, to restore your
windows, right-click the taskbar again and select Show Open Windows.

Make a Show Desktop Button
By default, the Quick Launch toolbar comes with a Show Desktop button,
which allows you to quickly hide all open windows and access stuff on your
desktop, and then quickly bring them all back when you??™re done. But what if
your Quick Launch toolbar doesn??™t have one?
Unlike most other toolbar buttons, the Show Desktop button isn??™t a Windows
Shortcut.
