If you are running Win95b or later, you probably can just have the Girder command execute the "Show Desktop.scf" file in windowsapplication datamicrosoftinternet explorerquick launch.
It's the "Show Desktop" button on the quick launch menu.

"Show Desktop" itsn't exactly the same as minimizing all the windows, since it also hides modal windows (ones that won't normally hide) aswell, so you really can see the entire desktop. I'm not sure if this helps or hinders what you wanted to do.

I don't have much experience with Girder's keyboard sending options, but I don't yet know of a way to send a WindowsKey+OtherKey combo. Could this be added, or is it already tere and I don't understand how?

I that were possible, then you could just set up a command to send the Windows+m combo for minimize all windows, and Windows+Shift+m for undo minimize all.

Good luck.

Does anyone know how to minimize all windows?
Or alternatively how to bring a particular window to the foreground?
I can capture a Wparam/Lparam combination, but it does not work when playing...

Thanx, Gijs.

You could always assign a the Start Key-D (use it like you would use Ctrl-D) to a remote key or any other event.
