How do I add a desktop icon to the ALT Tab shortcut??? I can do ALT Tab and
it gives me only open windows... can I add a desktop icon to that to clear
all open windows??

I'm not sure.. I have to look it up, but you can do WInLogo key+D...
That saves time
NIkita

I had a quick look and a play, one way I found (although personally I didn't
like it) is to create a new shortcut on the desktop to the desktop then
double click on the new shortcut to open the desktop as a explorer window,
you can then minimise and use alt tab.

A better option (in my view) is to use the quick launch toolbar which will
give you a shortcut to the desktop right next to the Start button. right
click on the taskbar and select toolbars the Quick Launch.

Hope that helps,
Martin

You can use Alt+F4, but there are many other shortcut options that
you may want to look at, go here:
