"Clicking" on Desktop

In XP, if you clicked on a blank area of desktop (desktop visible under open
Windows), the Desktop was bought to the fore.

In Vista this doesnt appear to happen. I click on the desktop, but the open
Windows remain on top -ie, nothing happens. I have to click on the desktop
icon in my Quick Launch Toolbar or hold down Win + TAB.

Is this correct, or am I simply missing a setting somewhere?

Tks for any help/guidance...

How quickly I forget! But, even so, I am not sure that the behavior of your
XP desktop in coming to the front of your other windows was a normal XP
property. You didn't have any special desktop management software running
with XP I suppose?

Nup...& I THINK that was/is normal XP behaviour, though I could be

What you state is not the norm and I personally have never seen this occur.

Just goes to show that no matter how long one has used Windows, and how
"experienced" one believes he/she is, you can always learn something simple
that was heretofore unknown. DAMN -- I wish I'd known about WindowsKey+d
before.

And it works with Win2K too! Thanks!
