Can PPT have windows taskbar or switch to desktop during a show?

[Guest]

I have a multilinked presentation and need to have the "windows taskbar and
start menue" also available on the bottom of screen so that viewers can
switch to other programs without exiting from presentation. I know saving the
presentation as webpage provides that option but I don't want to have windows
toolbar on top of the screen. Or, is there a way to go to the windows desktop
from PPT during a show that works on any computer with ppt viewer? I am
distributing the presentation with PPT Viewer 2003. Any help much appreciated.
Thanks,
Dori

A keyboard with the Windows special key (left of the space bar) comes in
handy for this type of thing

A single press of the windows key will display the toolbar along the bottom
edge

or if you press and hold the said key, and then press D, it will minimise
every window (including a current slideshow)
