But if you Win+D and then open a program, hitting it again will close that program and only open the same program back up. It closes open Windows, and hitting it again restores what it closed. Is there some shortcut I'm missing, or is there a way to add items to the right-click menu? I'm not interested in 3rd party tools, but I can program if someone gives me some clues.

I am on Win7 currently.īasically I would like to add an item to the right-click menu, below 'Close all Windows', that says 'Open all Windows'. I see no way to Restore them all other than hovering over the taskbar icon and clicking on each window separately.Īny modern version of Windows works like this. Let's say I have Minimized several File Explorers, perhaps by right-clicking an open spot on the taskbar and choosing 'Show the Desktop'.
