How to switching between browser in to desktop in XP?

[joshua77]

Hi all,
Before I'm using Windows 98/2000 in that one desktop Icon is there in quick launch tool bar so I can easily went to desktop and see any files in desktop with out minimizing all of my browser windows or other application windows but In XP when ever I want to go to desktop I minimze all working windows then only I can see desktop Is there any short cut In XP to go to Desktop while we working with multiple applications in a same time?
Advanced thanks for your reply,

Hi, Joshua.

Rather than having to hit the minimise button you can just click on the application tag in the status bar (next to the start button - lower left of your screen) and this will minimise whatever you are doing. It's quicker than going through each application and then minimising each one. I don't know of a quicker 'minimise all' way of doing what you suggest.

I use a free Toolbox system whereby All my desktop icons are stored and a single icon is displayed at the bottom of my screen.
When I wish to view all my icons/programs, a single click will fetch them ON TOP of any other screens/windows that I have open...........
You can get it from Here...its called ToolBox v2.63

have fun
