bottom of the screen also disappears. does anyone know
why this happen? thanks.

Hi,

I'm not sure why that happens, but win-d actually uses the "Show Desktop"
button, not minimize all windows. While on Windows Server 2003 I can't say
that when I press win-d the taskbar minimizes, I can say that using win-m
(minimize all windows) on just about every OS since 98 has worked without
any issue for me
