Forums -> UltraMon™ -> SmartTaskbar - Minimize all not working?!

Hi again.

The problem is windows' "minimize all"-feature (Window + M) works only on my primary screen. Any application outside the primary is not affected.

This must be SmartTaskbar related, because after disabling the additional Taskbar it's working.

WIN+M will only minimize the tasks which are on the Windows taskbar, try WIN+D instead, this will minimize all tasks.

The Problem is, I'm using the Logitech MouseWare software - my thumb button is mapped to the minimize all function (which is mapped to windows+m)

What can i do?!


Thanks a lot

If the software allows you to run applications or scripts when pressing a button, you could run a batch file which executes the Show Desktop command:

- create a new text file and change the file extension to .bat

- paste the following command into the file (you'll need to adjust the file path to match your system):

"C:\Documents and Settings\Christian\Application Data\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch\Show Desktop.scf"

The only other workaround would be to use the Smart Taskbar in mirror mode (can be changed under UltraMon Options > Smart Taskbar). This way all tasks are listed on the Windows taskbar, and WIN+M will work as expected.

Batch-File not possible
Mirror-Mode not wanted :(

Windows+D shows up the desktop but as soon as you restore any app all other windows are restored as well.

i need the minimize to keep the minimized...
and i need three taskbars that show the individual tasks.

Thanks anyway
