Those Browser Window Icons and Show Desktop Icon

[W. Watson]

When one is using a browser, it is possible to hold down Alt and Tab through
icons that indicate what type of Window is available. If say 3 of them are
for IE, there is no way to tell anything about the actual content. It would
be good to have some word or # with the icon. Is there anyway to do this.

Is it possible to work through these icons in either direction?

There's a Show Desktop icon in the tray. If I press it, all windows are
iconified. Is there a way to have all of them reappear other than click on
each icon in the tray?

Any ideas about the restore window back on top of the desktop?
