Desktop Level
Sunday, February 27, 2005 by nocool | Discussion: DesktopX
Hi. I have a problem that's been bugging me since the early days of DX. I use my show desktop button all the time, my problem is it minimizes DX too. I set my objects to desktop level, and still the same thing. AveDesk doesn't have this problem, though. Anyone any ideas how to fix it, other than a minimize windows DX object, which I have tried, but doesn't work 100% of the time. Thanks.

I have tried that before, but it doesn't always seem to minimize all the windows if I have a lot open. How does AveDesk get around the problem?
Thanks a lot for your idea.

Seems if I enable IconX, I can use the show desktop button, as long as the object is set to desktop level. But IconX isnt good when it comes to right click options, as with WinRAR and such. Sigh.

You can use.
Winkey + M to minimize all
Winkey + shift + M to restore all
Or
Copy and paste the following into a text file and save it as ShowDesktop.vbs. Then create a new shortcut linked to this file.
Set Shell = CreateObject ("Shell.Application")
Shell.MinimizeAll
Set Shell = Nothing
and
Copy and paste the following into a text file and save it as RestoreAll.vbs. Then create a new shortcut linked to this file.
Set Shell = CreateObject ("Shell.Application")
Shell.UndoMinimizeAll
Set Shell = Nothing
