Quick Access to Your Desktop

How do you access your darn desktop when you have a ton of applications open?

Well you could right click on the taskbar and do a minimize all, but that can be slow.
Instead:

1. Open a browser window (double-click on "My Computer")
2. If there is no toolbar, select View from the menu and select Toolbar.
3. Then from the dropdown list-box in the toolbar select desktop.
4. Now minimize it and forget about it.
5. The next time you want to access your desktop just click the desktop window on the taskbar.
6. As long as you don't close the window when you shutdown, it will reopen when you start windows again.
