I need to look at my desktop frequently and once open I would like to be able
to get to it using the ALT+TAB instead of going to taskbar and using desktop
shortcut. Any chance someone knows how this can happen.

Thanks

You can do this by a macro program.... but there is no need to do this because there are shortcuts :
WinKey + D : Show Desktop
WinKey + M : Minimize all windows (Not dialog boxes)
WinKey+Shift+M : Undo "WinKey+M" command

WOW! Thanks a lot Ayush. The WIN Key + D is the perfect solution for me. I
don't know why I hadn't seen that shortcut before now.

This is my first time on Microsoft Discussion Groups and I am surprised to
get a good response so fast. I'm Smile
