I'm not too good at these forumy thingys :D but I want to ask if there's any easy way to re-create the windows explorer shell hotkey for showing the desktop. I used to use it a lot, but the only way I can emulate it in LS is to use two different but similar hotkeys to minimise and maximise all windows. I'm pretty sure I could do it with an if statement, but I'm definitely not a programmer... I have no idea how to structure it :( sorry to bore you LSLUA experts with old stuff :) but I think I might need some help here :)

what about ShowDesk-0.1.dll ? should be somewhere on shellfront.org

Yep, showdesk works great. I've used it for years. It'll only hide the windows on the active desktop, rather than everything everywhere, so it's much more useful than the minimize and maximize bangs.
