Changing Windows Hotkeys

[Rathji]

I have recently decided that I am going to RocketDock all my icons, which is a pretty fantastic idea. That is until I hit my show desktop icon, or Windows-D to get back to desktop, where it decides of course that it is going to minimize my Rocketdock, so I dont have access to any program icons. It acts very much the same way as Windows Sidebar does on Vista. Either it is always on top, or it minimizes with a win-D.

Now I probably could change my habits and minimize each window manually, but I have a feeling that if I could edit some hotkeys, such as windows -d to do some some additional things and it would resolve the problem.

Unless someone has another idea of how to combat this without Rocketdock always ebing on top), I want to know if I can add in (or take out) commands from a built in windows hotkey,

I use AutoHotkey for stuff like that http://www.autohotkey.com/ It's a fairly powerful app if you're into scripting stuff. But the basics are fairly easy to pick up as well.

Do you need to interact with the desktop or just see what's on it? If the latter, try aeropeek. http://www.ghacks.net/2009/01/04/aer...-xp-and-vista/
