shortcuts & command lines to common win options??

hello,
I bought a keyboard that has 10 programmable keys. I already got Task Manager assigned to key #1 very loving relative.

But what is rhe command line (like c:windows\thisfolder\bow.exe) for something simple like "view desktop" as well as other very commonly used shortcuts for Windows 7?

Is there a website listing,?

You lost me now. That eBook is completely free, the best free source available containing absolutely all Windows 7 shortcuts.

Just out of interested: in which way was my tip not valid answer to your question?

EDIT: Did not notice your last post before posting this. Apology accepted.

Here are some command line options I use:

Shut down and hibernate:

• shutdown.exe
  
  • /i = Display the graphical user interface (GUI). This must be the first option.
  • /l = Log off. This cannot be used with /m or /d options.
  • /s = Shutdown the computer.
  • /r = Shutdown and restart the computer.
  • /g = Shutdown and restart the computer. After the system is rebooted, restart any registered applications.
  • /h = Hibernate the local computer. Can be used with the /f option.
  • /t xxx = Set the time-out period before shutdown to xxx seconds.
  • /f = Force running applications to close without forewarning users. The /f parameter is implied when a value greater than 0 is specified for the /t parameter.
  
  

This command shuts down the computer, first forcing running applications to close:

Code:

shutdown.exe /s /f

Gadgets:

• Gadgets ON:

Code:

C:\Program Files\Windows Sidebar\sidebar.exe

• Gadgets OFF:

Code:

taskkill /F /IM sidebar.exe

Windows Media Center:

• ehshell.exe
  
  • /nostartupanimation = stops the startup sound and Windows Media Center logo
  • /playallmusic = plays all your music instantly
  • /screensaver = starts the Media Center screensaver
  
  

This command starts WMC and plays all music:

Code:

C:\Windows\ehome\ehshell.exe /playallmusic

Or:

Code:

%windir%\ehome\ehshell.exe /playallmusic

This command shuts down WMC:

Code:

taskkill /F /IM ehshell.exe

Was there something wrong with the commands Generator and I gave you?

Anyway, I do not know how to show / hide desktop from command line, at least without first creating some scripts. Here are two scripts to you, one to show desktop (minimize all windows), one to restore all minimized windows.

Please notice you have to save these scripts as vbs-files, for example Minimize.vbs and Restore.vbs.

Minimize all open windows (show desktop):

Code:

Set shell = wscript.CreateObject("Shell.Application")
Shell.MinimizeAll

Restore all minimized windows:

Code:

Set shell = wscript.CreateObject("Shell.Application")
Shell.UndoMinimizeAll

Copy and paste these to Notepad, save as XXXXXXXX.vbs as I mentioned above.
