Show Desktop Launched All Of My System Processes??

Not sure whether this is the right place to post this...

Not a major problem as this has only happened twice in the last 6
months but when I pressed the Show Desktop Icon from the quick launch
toolbar circa 60 to 70 programs appeared on my start bar. On closer
inspection it appeared that they were system processes or similar. For
example I had MS Outlook open and one or two emails and after pressing
the show desktop button I then had 10 Outlook items open although the
other 7 weren't outlook items I had ever seen and when I tried to view
them they appeared to maximise but nothing opened.

Is this a bug? An additional function? A debug shortcut?

One person said that they had seen it before and it was because I was
holding down a specific key (although they couldn't remember which
key) whilst pressing the show desktop button, has anyone else heard of
this?

I have trawled the web and the forums and have only learned several
times how to get back the show desktop icon, which doesn't
particularly help me!

Many thanks in advance for any clues to discovering this behaviour.

I assume that no one has heard of this or ever encountered it...

Any ideas??

Cheers,

James
