Show desktop with an F Key?

satimiss, on Saturday May 24, 2008 10:39:04 AM

Hello,

I was wondering if there was a way to assign an F key to act like the show desktop button on the taskbar. I want to be able to hit the F Key and bring up my desktop without using the mouse to hit the button.

Any ideas Thanks in advance...

Configuration: Windows XP
Internet Explorer 6.0

Hello

Yes but by the you get it done I doubt it would be worth the effort.

Not sure what happened to mapping special keys in windows. Seems vista has no native support.

There are keyboard programs out there but not normally for things like desktop. Might have to contact the authors and ask that.
