Quickly accessing the desktop


How many times have you needed to access an application or a document located on the desktop? When you do, you probably minimize each one of the applications you currently have open until you can see the desktop.

However, there's a much easier way. Simply right click on the taskbar and choose the Minimize All command from the context menu to close all open windows. Once you access the item on the desktop, you can restore all your open windows simply by right clicking on the taskbar again and selecting the Undo Minimize All command.
