is there a hotkey for minimize in XP?

[substance12]

just what the title says. I want to make a hot key to minimize apps in win XP.

alt + space, then n.

(works in all windows)

to minimize all, winkey + d or m

Yeah, its the power switch on the back of your PC, hehe.

I think alt-space-n worked better because it minimizes 1 folder whereas windowskey-m minimizes all like folders. I wish there was a 2 button combo to minimize 1 folder at a time though.
