I could be being very very dense, but is there a quick shortcut built into windows to go straight to desktop with everything minimising? One using only the keyboard?

Windows+M

Or

Windows+D  (this is better as it lets you bring everything back up if you press win+d again)

Happy fapping.
The idea of any hi-fi system is to reproduce the source material as faithfully as possible, and to deliberately add distortion to everything you hear (due to amplifier deficiencies) because it sounds 'nice' is simply not high fidelity. If that is what you want to hear then there is no problem with that, but by adding so much additional material (by way of harmonics and intermodulation) you have a tailored sound system, not a hi-fi. - Rod Elliot, ESP

ffs, seems like there is a shortcut for everything. There must be a manual somewhere that has a list of all these shortcuts and what they're for.

after Windows + M, you can do Windows + Shift + M to bring everything back again.

I prefer Windows + D though.

Hey, the thread is reopened per my request,

I was wondering about this also like Kimmy here, I deleted my little 'show desktop' icon accidentally from my quick launch, is there somewhere I can go to copy a new one to quick launch?

Pressin Win + D ain't hard, and i'll prob do it, but sometimes when i have my hand on the mouse, and out of habit, i tend to reach for the button on my quick launch

Seems crazy that it's so complex, but I did this recently (the manual method) and it worked.
