Windows 7: Hide inactive windows

You can hide inactive windows under Windows 7 with a key combination. We'll show you how it's done.

Minimize inactive windows in Windows 7

• Use the key combination [Win] + [Home] or [Win] + [Pos1] to minimize all currently inactive windows in a single step.
• If you then use the key combination a second time, the operating system brings the windows that have just been hidden back to the desktop.
• This continues until you move the focus from the current program to another window. Then Windows minimizes all currently inactive windows after the key combination.
