Show Desktop hides ObjectDock

December 23, 2004 1:46:18 AM from JoeUser ForumsJoeUser Forums
Hello,

Is there a way to stop ObjectDock from hiding when I press the "Show Desktop" icon?

I commonly hide all my windows when I am going to launch a new app to get a clean workspace, but then ObjectDock hides forcing me to un-minimize one app and then re-minimize it. Which, as soon as one app is un-minimized, then I can see ObjectDock again.

I suppose I want ObjectDock to be attached to the desktop so that it doee not hide. I think that Konfabulator added that feature in, this is what they wrote in their feature list:

Made the Below window level stick to the desktop when choosing Show Desktop from the Task Bar.

Of course, this totally is the same for Widgets.

Brian!

"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 shortcut linked to this 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 shortcut linked to this file.

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