You mean Minimize to Desktop or Show Desktop so you can instantly see your desktop when you got windows open and "off" as in "Shut down computer". do you want the shut down options like restart and such or simply instantly shut down your computer?

Here's a couple of tips....... (be aware my methods are not the only way to do things, just they're just my way)

"Show Desktop" does not minimize anything. What really happens is a full screen, borderless, explorer window, opens on top of everything.

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

For the "off" button;
Download CloseWin http://www.tsoftcentral.com/tools/index.html and link to that.
