I'm new to this and have an easy question for you. I have a quicklaunch area where I have a button that is supposed to show/hide the desktop. I don't know what the code for this is, so if someone could tell me I would appreciate it. I've tried using $desktop$, but that only lead me to the folder desktop.

If you're just talking about xdesktop, the bang command is !xDesktopShow/Hide

If you're talking about every module that's currently visible, you should look at the docs. Should be something like !(ModuleName)Show/Hide

That didn't work. I'm talking about minimizing all windows so I can see the desktop, as the show desktop link in normal XP does.

oh oh oh, that's !MinimizeWindows

Thx, I've been looking all over for that simple command. Can I find a list of all the commands somewhere?

Each module has its own commands. You can read the documentation, or bring up the about box (!about) and just look at the available bang commands.

There are some other useful window-control !bangs in the core. Check out the wiki.
