This is a mis-conception that many have of Windows-M it is intended to perform exactly as yu stated below. Windows-D is best to use for navigating directly to the Desktop.

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]> On Fri, 20 May 2016 01:58:11 -0400 Pamela Dominguez via Talk <[email protected]> wrote: > That's what I do, also.
