> I do not see a key shortcut key/combo to minimize only the active window.
Try pressing Alt + Space - then release that combo and press the letter N.
That is the closest thing that I know of to natively do what you asked. You could use a 3rd party tool like AutoIt, but doing so would be a bit more involved.

cool, simple enough - thx!
Also drag and drop using the right mouse button should work. When you release the right button chose Create a shortcut.
Ah, you're correct. I can't find it documented anywhere, but Windows 7 must have added "%appdata%\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch\User Pinned" as a path where a shortcut's hotkey may be valid. That makes three separate hierarchies where shortcuts' hotkeys will function:
- %userprofile%\Desktop
- %appdata%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu
- %appdata%\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch\User Pinned
Well. At least my internal Windows documenation has been updated.
Also, for pinned items, don't forget that Win+# (where # is a number 1 though 9) is an automatically set hotkey for the first nine items pinned on the taskbar.
That does not help one create a pinnable screensaver file, Ztruker.
MourningStar,
This list of shortcuts seems to be better than the one I posted earlier:
128 Keyboard Shortcuts for Windows 7
Pyprohly,
...and there is
Shift + Win + #
too
I add a folder in the Start menu that contains shortcuts to scripts and rdp files just so I can add shortcut keys.
Thx for the new list UsernameIssues !
FYI - I have a Logitech gaming keyboard. I compute in a very dark environment so I use dark themes, night mode, etc. and was looking for a keyboard that had illuminated keys. I discovered the G510s, designed for gamers, and fell in love with it immediately. Although, I am not a gamer, it's perfect for my needs. The abundance of programmable keys gives me the added capability of doing common tasks at the push of a button and the lcd display is so cool and it let me remove some gadgets I had on my desktop. This topic and all the helpful contributions has prompted me to learn about using this keyboard's programmable capability which I had not until now. As expected I programmed the screensaver and minimize windows keys, ha, I even programmed a key to open this new list, I'm on my way! :)
Pyprohy, thx for joining the thread and contributing. You folk are amazing.
