Madhits45 Posted February 25, 2005 Share Posted February 25, 2005 This would be useful if it can be done.What he means is the show desktop usually in the quick launch added to the right click menu. If anyone finds a way to do this I would certainly want it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cartoonite Posted February 25, 2005 Share Posted February 25, 2005 Is there a registry tweak to add "Show Desktop" to the right click menu?<{POST_SNAPBACK}>The right click menu for what? The right click menu is context sensitive, meaning it changes depending on where you click. That's why it's called a context menu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madhits45 Posted February 25, 2005 Share Posted February 25, 2005 If you can add open command window here I'm certain you can add show desktop.If it had to be specific right clicking in folders would be where it should be added.....Come forth great reg hackers and show us your skills....

Preacher Posted February 26, 2005 Author Share Posted February 26, 2005 I think I would find it MOST usefull within Internet Explorer. If I get 5 or 10 windows going, it would be nice to show the desktop and select a file or folder on it (for example).Basically, I am trying to avoid having the QuickLaunch bar if I can.

Yzöwl Posted February 26, 2005 Share Posted February 26, 2005 MCT has already told you, all you need to do at any time you need this isright click on the taskbar and choose Show the Desktop(to put em back do it again and choose 'Show Open Windows')The other way, which I find easier, is to useWinkey + Dwhich toggles it in the same way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought MCT was refering to a tweak he knew of, not something that was enabled by default. Also thanks for posting that alternate Winkey shortcut, that's probably even more useful than the right-click option. (At least, in my opinion.)
