Show DesktopHow To Restore Show Desktop Icon

I know this is probably an old post but I have to butt my two cents in.  The key combination does NOT always work.  If you have a specific edit going on for something like Outlook or just about any other "High Tech" program, the key combination will not minimize everything.
