Give me the shortcut to show desktop in windows 7?


I have a laptop which is running on windows 7 and I want to view quickly and instantly the desktop by minimizing all opened windows in order to access files or shortcuts placed on desktop. So I need a shortcut to show desktop. But I have no idea how to create it. I tried to find it on the Microsoft website and related places but could not get any hint regarding how to do it. If someone has any experience with this please tell me also

Microsoft Windows has a shortcut for showing the desktop quickly. It is the same in all the versions of Windows operating systems launched by Microsoft, be it XP, Vista or Windows 7.

The shortcut key is a combination of 2 keys: the Windows key + the "D" key. The Windows key is the key near the left Alt and left Ctrl keys. It has the Windows icon (4 wavy squares) on it. Pressing Windows and D together will show the desktop by minimizing all the open windows.

Other than this, there is also a button on the monitor to the right of the clock on the bottom right of the screen. Clicking this also minimizes all open windows and shows you the desktop.

Hope this helps.
