Show Desktop

[DixieCup48]

Is there any way whereby XYP could have a button, script, or any other means to activate the command "Show Desktop" ?

Am aware there are a number of ways to accomplish this but would like to be able to do so via XYP.

The XY default button This PC contains it.

Here is one way to do it, but it will be slow,

Code: Select all

run "powershell -command ""(New-Object -ComObject Shell.Application).ToggleDesktop()""",,, 0;

Of course you also have the other options mentioned last time you asked this too:

You gently but accurately admonished me on that one!

Is reminiscent of the quotation by Oscar Wilde , "Youth is such a wonderful thing - what a shame to waste it on the young".

Yes memory is good, but using the search feature is more reliable. BTW I converted previous suggestion to vbs, will work faster, but you need to create an external vbs file with this content:

Code: Select all

CreateObject("Shell.Application").ToggleDesktop

then run it like so: run "wscript ""c:\path\file.vbs""";

run "shell:::{3080F90D-D7AD-11D9-BD98-0000947B0257}"
