Show Desktop

[Abin]

How do you programmatically show desktop, just like that ".scf" file(%APP_DATA%\\Microsoft\\Internet Explorer\\Show Desktop.scf) does?

keybd_event(VK_LWIN, 0, 0, 0); // windows key down
keybd_event(VK_D, 0, 0, 0);
keybd_event(VK_LWIN, 0, KEYEVENTF_KEYUP, 0); // windows key up

If it's to run on XP, you can Automate the shell via IShellDispatch4::ToggleDesktop - see here: http://blogs.msdn.com/robgruen/archive/2004/02/24/79294.aspx If it's not, then I think you are stuck with simulating a WIN+M key press.
