'Show Desktop' is a small standalone application that creates a small rectangular button at the right side of the user's task bar, next to the clock, which, when clicked, allows the user to minimize all open windows or temporarily make them transparent so the user can "peek" at the desktop.'Show Desktop' also allows the user to change the application's settings to their liking, so they can make the button smaller or even invisible, or so they can change how windows are minimized.'Show Desktop' even gives the user to easily shutdown, restart, standby, hibernate... their computer straight from the right click menu accessible from the button itself.
