Commands Lines NOT SHORTCUTS forr Window 7 ??

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,?

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:

shutdown.exe /s /f

Gadgets:

• Gadgets ON:

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

• Gadgets OFF:

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:

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

Or:

%windir%\ehome\ehshell.exe /playallmusic

This command shuts down WMC:

taskkill /F /IM ehshell.exe

Here are some command line options I use:

Shut down and hibernate:

For example : I want to program on og my programmable keys to make it "Show/View Desktop"

Which command line, not a shortcut would I use?

If no one knows then could someone point me to a websites dedicate to command lines that cause a feature like viewing desktop etc

Thank You.

I'm using a MSFT 3,000 Keyboard with it's lonely 5 programable keys.

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):

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

Restore all minimized windows:

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

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

Kari, I have found and tested the show/hide desktop, code below. The example you (just) posted 4 years ago showed how to quickly access a shell method. That's important because here MSDN gives a bunch of other methods. One of those methods is ToggleDesktop. So the VBS code is:

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