I have noticed that lately, maybe since an update, that windows-M does minimize all programs, but does not exactly put me on the desktop according to window-eyes 9.4, but if I type a few letters of the program that I want, and then press windows-d, I am already on that program. Weird! because when I pressed windows-M after my initial installation of windows ten, I'd go to the desktop but now, no, I have to use windows-D, because windows-m just minimizes all programs and does something with the desktop where if I type a couple letters like winamp, for example, though I can't hear any results directly, if I press windows-d, I am on winamp. I hope this bit of a run-on message makes sense. :) -- Curtis Delzer <[email protected]>
