Who can explain what the Show desktop is really for?

It's there so you can quickly hide what you're really doing when the boss walks by your desk

Once, I took a full screen picture of the primary workflow application and set it as the desktop wallpaper.

Oh yes, I did.

Ha

Though seriously, the number of times I have to copy or DL something to the desktop for quick acess and it ends up under another window, or need to find something I have there that is covered up is quite frequent. Hding all windows to get acess to said desktop item or even to move it out of the way of another window I need to use in conjunction with it is a lot nicer than rearranging several windows to find it :)

There is a similar amusing tweak you can do on a machine where the user has a lot of icons on the desktop

Prt-Screen and save , then set as wallpaper - then remove the actual icons - the look on their face when trying to click on an icon is priceless

Funny you mention that, a kid at my high school did that. He told the teacher that his explorer stopped responding, and the teacher came over and kept trying to click the icons, she though his computer was broken, called the IT guy. :P

Mommas, don't let your babies grow up to be IT guys.

Professors, don't let your IT guys grow up to be department heads.
