How to minimize all your windows at once

In Windows sometimes you have a whole bunch of windows open and you want to quickly hide all the windows so you can see the desktop.

Things You'll Need

• A windows PC

Instructions

1. Determine your operating system. If you have a newer system with a circle start button in the bottom left you have Windows Vista. If you have a rectangle start button you have an older operating system.

2. Hold down the windows key, the Windows key on most keyboards is situated between the alt key and the ctrl key.

3. If you have Windows Vista (while holding the windows key) press the M key.
   For other Windows versions hold the windows key and press the D key.

Tips & Warnings

• Using the Vista windows key shortcut also works in XP, but to simplify the instructions with 2 sets I did not mention this above.
