Truly Minimize All Windows Possible Duplicate:
  How to minimize all windows/applications to the dock?  




I am aware of the F11 shortcut, but that doesn't really minimize all windows - it moves them to different corners and then when I open something up they ALL come back. The closest thing I have to making this work is by pressing F11, then Command + Option + Desktop click.

Are there any easier ways?
Try the Finder keyboard shortcut Option-Command-M. Other very handy shortcuts are available on this article at the Apple Support site. Hope this helps.
