[QUOTE="Lifeisabeach, post: 1903876, member: 38864"] Rather than minimizing each window, you can hide them. So try this.... with a bunch of Finder windows open, press CMD-H to hide them all. When you want them back, just left-click on the Finder icon. This is an all-or-nothing action. Unlike minimize, you can't hide/unhide just certain ones. If this isn't what you are looking to do, then there are a couple options. From the Finder menubar, click on [I]Window[/I], then select the Finder window you want. If you in fact want that exact "Show All Windows" display, then that can be activated with a keyboard command. It's actually part of Mission Control, and you can customize the keyboard shortcut in [I]System Preferences » Keyboard » Shortcuts[/I]. Select [I]Mission Control[/I] on the left, then [I]Application windows[/I] on the right. Set a hot key to your liking that isn't in use already. The default is CTRL-Down Arrow. If you use this quite a lot and have a multi-button mouse with a button not in use, you could use something like SteerMouse to program that button to activate that command for you. You can also set a Hot Corner to activate it... just move the mouse to a corner that you set and BAM! You get the list. You can set that in [I]System Preferences » Desktop & Screen Saver[/I]. Click on the [I]Screen Saver[/I] tab, then [I]Hot Corners[/I] at the bottom. [/QUOTE]
