Redestium Posted May 4, 2004 Share Posted May 4, 2004 These two keyboard shortcuts do the same thing as far as I can see but for some reason Win+M does it smoother (no flickering desktop icons). Does anyone know any more about what?s going on with this:unsure:e: Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/163720-wind-vs-winm/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
dreamz Veteran Posted May 4, 2004 Veteran Share Posted May 4, 2004 win + d = show desktop win + m = minimize all slightly different. :) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/163720-wind-vs-winm/#findComment-2057487 Share on other sites More sharing options...
eversor Posted May 4, 2004 Share Posted May 4, 2004 yeah with win + d you can toggle between desktop and your open windows with win + m you can just minimize it once and for all Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/163720-wind-vs-winm/#findComment-2057515 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redestium Posted May 4, 2004 Author Share Posted May 4, 2004 win + d = show desktopwin + m = minimize all slightly different. :) But minimizing all is showing desktop. :blink: :laugh: :wacko: And lets not forget win+shift+m to toggle. Confusing... Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/163720-wind-vs-winm/#findComment-2057627 Share on other sites More sharing options...
iczman Posted May 4, 2004 Share Posted May 4, 2004 wow i never used win + m and it's so much smoother and quicker than win + d, but i only have a win key at the left hand side of the keyboard :( (ms multimedia natural keyboard). but it's kindda hard to press win + shift + m to get the windows back, where win + d will do the same with keys much closer :p Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/163720-wind-vs-winm/#findComment-2057632 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gibwar Posted May 4, 2004 Share Posted May 4, 2004 If I remember right Win+M minimizes only minimizable windows, so things like the desktop properties are still showing (or other things that can't be minimized). And Win+D just hides everything. Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/163720-wind-vs-winm/#findComment-2057674 Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Win+D just hides everything. exactly. if you do win + m, things like y'z dock and miranda will stay open while all the browser windows will minimize. win + d will show the desktop, so y'z dock and miranda will also disappear. the difference is rather subtle.
