Maximize/minimize keyboard shortcuts

[VibrantLife]

In Windows XP, does anyone know keyboard shortcuts to minimize/maximize a window, instead of having to use the mouse all the time?

[windows]+m -- Minimize all windows
[windows]+d -- Shows Desktop

not sure what the difference is though.

To get your windows back up

hold alt and hit tab until the icon is highlighting the window you want up

Thanks. What about maximizing or minimizing ONE window at a time?

That i do not know, you could cycle through your windows using the alt-tab method.

There isn't a short key that I know of for one window. It's all or nothing from what I know. and I know a lot of the shortcuts, cause I don't like using a mouse...

Windows key + M minimizes the active window, Windows key + D minimizes every window.

Windows key + M minimizes the active window, Windows key + D minimizes every window.

winkey + M brought down all my windows, xp sp2.

alt, space, m will minimize the current window
