[QUOTE="jn4jenny, post: 164179"] As others have said, F11 will use the Expose feature to temporarily shuffle all your program windows aside and show you the desktop. But if that just isn't doing it for you, you can: a. Go into System Preferences -> Keyboard and Mouse -> Keyboard Shortcuts and change the F11 button to any other button or keystroke sequence that you want. Just scroll to that feature of Expose in the list, click on the F11, and you should have the option to enter another macro of your own creation. b. Go into System Preferences -> Dashboard and Expose and set an "Active Screen Corner". This makes it so that when you click on a certain corner of your desktop, your Mac will do something automatically, and one of the things you can ask it to do automatically is show your desktop.
