astrophotographer2 Posted November 27, 2007 Posted November 27, 2007 (edited) hi. i was on a tech website and they had a item where you could plug it into your computer and when you press the button on the hardware it would exit out of every program you are running at the moment and show the desktop. i was wondering if there was any freeware program out there that i could download that would do pretty much the same thing without the hardware. if anyone knows of a program like that could you please tell me.

DigeratiPrime Posted November 27, 2007 Posted November 27, 2007 Welcome to MSFN You can tell Windows to "show desktop" in a number of ways. If you enable Quicklaunch there will be a shortcut to do so. You can also right click on the taskbar and choose "show the desktop", you can also use the key combos: winkey+d and winkey+m you can repeat the hotkey to toggle the effect. That will only minimize or hide the program and not end the processes.[edit] here are some free apps that will actually kill the tasks:http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documen...s/taskkill.mspxhttp://www.anappaday.com/downloads/2006/09...-quickkill.htmlhttp://www.aswit.com/akill/
