To quickly see your desktop, you can follow these steps:
1. Minimize all open windows: Hover your cursor over the "Show Desktop" button located at the far right side of the taskbar (it looks like a small rectangle). Alternatively, you can press the Windows key + D on your keyboard to minimize all open windows and show the desktop.
2. Use keyboard shortcuts: Pressing Windows key + M will minimize all open windows, similar to the "Show Desktop" button. If you want to quickly toggle between the desktop and your current window, you can use the Windows key + Comma (,) shortcut.
3. Creating a desktop shortcut: You can also create a desktop shortcut for easy access to your desktop. Right-click on an empty area of your desktop, select "New," and then choose "Shortcut" from the context menu. In the location field, type "explorer.exe shell:Desktop" without the quotes, and click "Next." Give the shortcut a name, such as "Show Desktop," and click "Finish." Whenever you want to see your desktop, simply double-click the shortcut.
4. Use the taskbar: On the Windows taskbar, you may have a "Show Desktop" button located at the far right side. Clicking on this button will quickly minimize all open windows, allowing you to see your desktop. If this button is not visible, right-click on the taskbar, go to "Toolbars," and make sure "Desktop" is checked.
These methods should enable you to quickly view your desktop and easily access any files or shortcuts you have placed there.
