    Redirecting "SHOW DESKTOP" button in Taskbar


    Hey folks,

    maybe it seems a bit silly but I got the following situation:

    QUESTION:
    Is it possible to redirect the windows taskbar "show desktop" button to a certain file or is it possible to change the entry the registry in a way it doesnt minimize rocketdock each time I press the button?

    I am on Win7Pro 64bitSP1. Using RocketDock to keep my Desktop cleaner - RocketDock works perfectly except for one thing.
    When clicking on Win's Taskbar's "Show Desktop" button next to the clock, it shows me the Desktop but it minimizes RocketDock at the same time, and I a have to force opening it again.
    Now i figured out that a .vbs file including:

    Set shell = wscript.CreateObject("Shell.Application")
    Shell.MinimizeAll
    A shortcut to this file can then be placed in RocketDock - which again implies I will use RD(RocketDock) in the way that it keeps hiding and showing up on top of everything, by itself...giving me the possibility to click that shortcut in RD - but I want to get to the Desktop by keeping the windows taskbar button and at the same time not minimizing RD.

    Attached a screenshot of the desktop:




    Would appreciate some help on this one - thanks in advance everybody! :)

    Does it reduce RD if you just hit Windows+d.
