Show Desktop Shortcut - Create

The show desktop that is over on the very right side is in a silly spot (and is too small), in my opinion. I use this feature a fair amount so the old fashion style suits me better, over by the Windows icon.

As it turns out, I unpinned, repinned, and restarted the computer twice and for some reason on the second go around, it now works. I have been able to drag and drop it by the Windows icon. I have since restarted the computer again and it is still there and working correctly. Something glichy must have been going on. Thanks for your help. Cheers!

A little annoying. Takes like 8 seconds to appear as closed. Other than that.

Thanks!

hello, I have disabled the win-shortcuts in the registry because I wanted to use win-1,2,3,etc for volume presets instead of application switching (win 7 32 prof). I managed to get this working, but the win-d shortcut got lost on the way, as expected. (at least in copernic winkey, I can't even remap it - seems like it's lost as long as I keep things this way). so I figured I would use win-t to toggle the desktop. I used this tutorial (actually i tried both methods in the first post), and both worked. - however, my impression is they are much (!) slower than good old win-d, which worked like lightning. it seems like these two shortcuts use a different procedured than win-d - or probably also than the icon in the far right corner on the taskbar does. this effect may be all the more obvious on slower systems, e.g. netbooks.

is there a way to get this going faster?

thanks

hi brink, yes, I could, but point is, I really would like to do this without a mouse. Besides, I have the icon hidden to save space (via 7taskbartweaker).

Nice one mate working very nice :) Awesome method :)
