desktopx objects minimze when I click show desktop button instead of stick to wallpaper

from WinCustomize Forums
This is so annoying when I want to use my desktop and I have many things open, I use the minmize all button on the quicklaunch next to the start bar. This causes desktopx to minmize along with the other windows. I have everything set to locked and it still does this!! How can I get it to stick to the desktop and stay there even when I minimize all?

"Show Desktop" does not minimize anything. What really happens is a full screen, borderless, explorer window, opens on top of everything.

You can use.

Winkey + M to minimize all
Winkey + shift + M to restore all

Or

Copy and paste the following into a text file and save it as ShowDesktop.vbs. Then create a new program shortcut and point to that file.

Set Shell = CreateObject ("Shell.Application")
Shell.MinimizeAll
Set Shell = Nothing

 and

Copy and paste the following into a text file and save it as RestoreAll.vbs. Then create a new program shortcut and point to that file.

Set Shell = CreateObject ("Shell.Application")
Shell.UndoMinimizeAll
Set Shell = Nothing

 

Thanx goes to Cavebear for the vbs info.

Just make a shortcut to that file. "Program shortcut" is just another term for a normal shortcut.

Sorry, didn't mean to be confusing....... it simply means, create a shortcut to the vbs files....... a shortcut must 'point' to something, or it's not a shortcut.
