Shortcut for minimizing all application

[Eric]

Is there a shortcut key, or key storkes to minimize all
the active applications at one time to view the desktop.
So, if I have 8 applications running at the same time, I
would like to be able to minimize all of them with a
single key stroke. Can anyone advise. Thanks, Eric

Right-click on your Taskbar and select:
Toolbars > Quick Launch
The "Show Desktop" icon will appear on the left
side of the Taskbar.

Eric,

Winkey + D
Or

Winkey + M

Or, use the Show Desktop icon in the QuickLaunch bar. If that's missing,
