Short cut to desktop

If I have multiple windows open, is there a quick way to minimize all windows and get back to the desktop?

When I want to get at the desktop with lots of windows open I use expose. The F11 key, or the 4 finger swipe upward will do it (assuming this is enabled via System Preferences).

  • Short cut on desktop

    I pasted an ecard to my desk top and now I can't deleted it.
    It plays all of the time. I tried right clicking the ecard and
    there isn't a delete section. Please help.

    Windows shortcuts are files of type ".lnk". You can download a description of the format at http://www.wotsit.org just search for "LNK". It's possible that someone has written Java code that's able to read and write these files...

  • Creating a Windows 7 OS desktop short cut for gmail with Firefox as browser, not internet explorer

    I have an HP laptop that originally had Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit OS. I recently upgraded to Windows 7 64-bit OS. I want to generate a desktop shortcut for gmail that uses Firefox as the browser not internet explorer (8). If I use IE 8 as the brower and enter in gmail.com, gmail opens. I can right click on that page and create a gmail desktop short cut with IE 8 as the browser. If I try the same steps using Firefox as the opened browser, I can't create a desktop short cut by right clicking...it is not an option. I can't make Firefox my default browser for everything as my work programs/shortcuts require IE. Again, how do I create a direct gmail desktop shortcut that uses Firefox as the browser, not IE 8, when IE 8 has to be the default browser?

    You could create a shortcut to open Firefox with a specific site using a command line argument.
    You can copy the shortcut that you use to open Firefox, then right-click on it and choose '''Properties'''. On the shortcut tab, you will see the target, it will look something like this:
    "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe"
    You can add gmail.com to this shortcut so it looks like this:
    "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" gmail.com

  • HT3204 itunes desktop short cut

    I have my itunes library and all that goes with it. How do I create a desktop short cut

    Yeah, I am having the same issue. It seems that the short-cut is missing. I can not upgrade, nor uninstall. What can I do to fix this?

  • The home page short cut with the little house on it is gone with Firefox 4. You can only go home with the History feature or reload the page from desktop shortcut. A big shortcoming in my opinion.

    Hey guys..you used to have a home page shortcut on your toolbar in the past. A little picture of a "house" Now it is gone, gone. The only way I can get to the start page is with the "History" tool or going back to the icon on my desktop. Right now, I would rather go back to the older Firefox that had a Home page short cut. '''''''''ha'''''''''

    The "Home" button was moved to the right-side of the Navigation Toolbar. <br />
    The "Reload" and "Stop" button are on right-side of the Location bar, combined into the same space as the "Go" button; whichever button is appropriate at any time is what is displayed. The "Go"button when you are typing in the Location bar, the "Stop" button when a page is loading, and the "Reload" button when a page is fully loaded.
    If you want any or all of those buttons in their former location, as they were in Firefox 3.6, you can Customize your Toolbars and put them where you want them. <br />

  • Is there a way to make a keyboard short cut to iTunes?

    Please inform me on the procedures necessary to allow a short cut in opening iTunes.

    doug pennington wrote:
    But in practice, what's the difference in using a key shortcut, or clicking iTunes icon, or using an Apple Script
    tell application "iTunes"
    activate
    end tell
    saved as a one click app to desktop? They all do the same with a click.
    I agree that a shortcut to iTunes is a rather moot issue, but as you see I did discover what may be a bug in that I can assign a shortcut to iTunes but it does not work.
    I actually have the opposite issue - I don't like iTunes and hardly ever use it and every time I DL an mp3 and select it incorrectly, it opens under iTunes, it takes a while before I can get rid of it.
    One day I will have to check my defaults and remove iTunes from the list entirely.

  • Web ADI Create Document - Short Cut Save to Form  Function Grayed Out

    How do I "ungray" Save to Form Function to allow a save?
    RDBMS 10.2.0.4.0
    Apps 11.5.10.2
    Only GL and Desktop ADI
    Oracle on Demand Customer - does not give us SysAdmin Responsiblities
    We have:
    Applicatin Adiministrator does not have Application> Funcitons
    Application Developer has Application>Forms and Function
    Setup Web ADI super user menu with Create Documents, Define Layout, Define Mapping, Manage Documents
    Setup options and "Hidden" Enter Journals
    Thanks for you help,
    Dale

    I still have no response or answers
    Refer the section "Creating Form Functions Using the Create Document Page Flow" in Oracle Web Applications Desktop Integrator Implementation and Administration Guide. User to have system administrator responsibility assigned to have this feature enabled as this is a SysAdmin task.
    THE BIG QUESTION - since "Oracle on Demand" will not allow their users to have System Administrator, how can I add the required functionality to the supplied Application Administrator and resolve the questions below?
    Problem Description:
    Web ADI – Create Document, Save to Form Function is grayed out, therefore it can not be used
    1. How do we enable Web ADI functionality to Create document and Save to Form Function?
    2. Once saved to form function how to we navigate to Application>Functions?
    3. Once the Short cut is saved to the Form Function, how do we attach to a user’s responsibility?
    We have only Application Administrator with no Applications> Functions menu, however we do have in our test instance Application Developer with Applications>Forms and Functions, but it does not appear to have the same rights as SysAdmin. I tried adding the menu functions simular to SysAdmin to Application Administrator but no luck unlocking (ungraying) the form.

  • Where to find desk top icons for firefox, not short cuts, icons

    I do not like the blue world desk top icon for Nightly and I would to use the other desk top icon with the fox curled inside the blue world. Please send me the icon, not the short cut. Thanks !

    Sounds like a question for a Windows 7 support forum. I don't use Win7, but in WinXP if you right-click a desktop icon and open Properties, there is a button for '''Change Icon'''. As finitarry alluded to, you will need to come up with your own icon file of the correct size. Keep in mind that Nightly updates frequently, actually it updates '''''nightly''''', and you may find that you need to replace that icon every day. ''Speculation on my part, I have never wasted my time replacing a desktop shortcut icon for a program that updated frequently. And if you spent any time searching for how to do that specifically for Firefox, anything you might have found about fiddling Firefox program files or the Firefox Profile folder hasn't worked since the Firefox 3.0 version.''

  • Short cut change icon is disabled and icons are generic

    (I am not sure if this is correct forum, I don't know if this is for Visual Studio Setup Installation projects or for Installing Visual Studio itself)
    I've created a Setup/Installation project for a WPF .NET 4.5.2 application and everything works fine with the exception of the program Icons.
    After I run the Setup - the short cut on the Desktop and Start menu (Win 7 and Win 8.1) shows generic Icon and when I right click and select properties the Open File Location and the Change Icon buttons are disabled, but if I click on the short cut it runs
    the program.
    In the Setup project I specified which icon to use from the exe program and I even added an icon do the project and pointed to this icon, but the icons still show up as generic.
    Any advise on how to fix this?
    Thank You
    Peter

    Hi pczurak,
    By reseraching, I found this thread in StackOverFlow has the same issue with you.
    http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2041291/how-to-change-windows-applicatoins-default-icon-in-setup-project?answertab=active#tab-top
    From the answer, we could show up the desired icon in the following way.
    right-click on the Deployment Project
    pick menu item View > File System
    in the File System window, find the shortuct whose icon you want to change (for example, under "Users's Programs Menu")
    go to the shortcut Properties (right-click and pick "Properties Window")
    go to Icon
    Browse...
    change "Files of type" to *.exe
    browse to and select your "primary output"
    OK, OK
    And you could also change the icon in the Control Panel's "Add or Remove Programs" list.
    If you have any other concern regarding this issue, please feel free to let me know.
    Best regards,
    Youjun Tang
