Is there a key sequence to put the Windows 7 Desktop on top?
Is there a key sequence to put the Windows 7 Desktop on top?
Is there a key sequence to put the Windows 7 Desktop back up, on a T520? If you have several windows open and need to get back to the Desktop without minimizing them or cascading them, how is this accomplished the fastest way?
Re: Is there a key sequence to put the Windows 7 Desktop on top?
In Windows 7, if you move the moue over the small button on the far right of the taskbar, you will get a sneak peak of the desktop. Clicking the button minimizes all the windows. Clicking it again restores them back.
Instead of clicking the button you can also use Win+D key shortcut.

To add on to what yak said, if you press win+D or use the "show desktop" bar, it minimizes the programs (unless you just use peek) but if you press the button(s) again, it will restore everything as it was (positions, order...)
