There are a few Windows shortcuts available to you for interacting with actual windows on your desktop.
I want to minimize the window I have currently open without using the mouse and without minimizing every window I have open. I am running windows XP for now and use minumum of 13 windows to start my day and get up to 2 dozen open throughout the day.
There are times when I need to work on one document full screen and to allow multi-tasking need to quickly get rid of it to go back to another collection of applications running in the background.
Clicking all the other apps "forward" is time consuming and clicking to minimize can take too much time as well.
Can I shrink one window to the task bar with a key stroke, instead of a mouse click.
