Question for Windows 7 users

I've got all my applications down along the bottom, which works great, but I would also like one that will just bring up the desk top (like there is on Vista) but I can't seem to find one anywhere or work out how to do it.

Any ideas?

Hi Jasper, I believe it is the rectangle on the far right of that bottom bar. Hover over it to preview the desktop and click it to minimize everything.

Possibly anyway, im not at home to check!

Yup, that's it, cheers, that was particularly well hidden !!

BTW - nice 205, I had one exactly like that and wish I still had it, so much fun to drive.

thanks

she needs some tlc at the minute, leaky sunroof and central locking (or lack of!) are first on the list.

if you hold the window as if you want to move it round the screen but shake the mouse instead it makes all the other windows minamise.

Does holding the windoze key down and pressing D work?

This shows the desktop in both XP and Vista.

The mental gymnastics a landlord will employ to justify immoral actions is clinically fascinating. Just because something is legal doesn't make it moral.

I've just installed Win7 ultimate, I really like it. I needed to do something as my XP install corrupted big style (look out for Security tools virus thingy). The only issue I have is that HP don't do a driver for my printer (they don't support Vista either) so I've had to use a generic one...
