How to switch to desktop when running PowerPoint slide show?

[Guest]

While using PPT slide show in full screen mode I want to "toggel" to the
desktop without closing the PPT slide show. I've seen this done but I don't
know how. What key sequence is used?

Alt-tab toggles between open applications on the taskbar, but not the desktop
itself.

press the windows key+D
Minimizes all open windows and shows the desktop.

Pressing just the windows key brings up the windows taskbar.

correction windows+d is a toggle

For me windows D toggles back to the edit mode. Windows D and then alt tab
seems to work though. Maybe it depends how you open the presentation.

Interesting. It should have minimized all the windows.

Same for Vista and previous versions of Windows.

Mine minimizes all the windows on the first press of Win+D, but the second
press un-minimizes so that I'm looking at the edit window. If I'm using the
"Presenter View", I have to then manually open the presentation window, but
if I'm not using that I can just hit Alt-Tab twice to bring it back.
