Quickly accessing the desktop via popup window

One of your tips has to do with accessing the desktop when one has numerous items open. Your technique minimizes all open windows then uses an undo to restore. This one adds Desktop to the Start Menu, accessible in 2 simple clicks.

Right click on the desktop, select new, shortcut. In the Command Line box, enter:
C:\WINDOWS\EXPLORER.EXE /root, (make sure you include the ,).
Click on Next, and in the SelectName for shortcut box, enter Desktop. Then simply drag the resulting icon on to your Start Button (to copy to the Start Menu).

An icon named Desktop will now appear at the top section of your Start Menu. Selecting it will open a window containing each item on your desktop. Once you finish, you can delete the shortcut left on the desktop.
