Hi,

I have a program (rainmeter) that I wish to leave displayed on my desktop (vista 32bit) when all windows are minimized. Unfortunately, when I press the Show Desktop icon (Windows+D), it hides this program also. I can select an option to 'pin to desktop' but thanks to Aero and the way it redraws over the actual desktop image, this causes the program to be hidden anyway (effectively underneath the Aero redraw). However, using Ctrl-M simply minimises all active windows (not all programs) and leaves rainmaker untouched and visible.

I was wondering if there were a way to remap the 'Show Desktop' quicklaunch icon to execute the 'Minimize All' action instead, or to create a new icon that performs the Windows+M action instead of the Windows+D action. This would stop me having to hit Windows+M every time i wanted to get back to my desktop

I have read http://www.autohotkey.com/forum/topic24466.html but the problem is both sidebar-specific and only focuses on the keystrokes.

Apologies if this is the wrong place for this question.
Many thanks,
RR

So basically you want this, unless i'm mistaken.

Or
