I would suggest using LIST WINLIST with the "I" flag to obtain a list of all window identifiers
and then using the WINDOW ICONIZE command for each window identifier.
I'm not sure if there is a way to retrieve the window state in VDS, if there is then
it may be a good idea to check if the window is actually visible before trying to
minimize it, to avoid problems with hidden tray windows and such. |

You can also check window states using the @winpos() function:
%A = @winpos(<window>, S)
(1 = normal; 2 = iconized; 3 = maximized)

Thanks FreezingFire, that's really nice, I didn't know that.  
So Laurent, for FreezingFire's idea you won't need VDS 5. |

What I meant is this code:
| Code: |
list create,1
list winlist,1,I
repeat
%i = @next(1)
if @not(@equal(@winpos(%i,S),2))
window iconize,%i
end
until @equal(@index(1),@count(1))
list close,1
|
It is unadvisable to try it though unless you would like to reboot. I guess the @WINPOS(,S)
function is just not accurate enough, so you would probably need to to go with VDS 5 and
Dr. Dread's code if you would like to go with this way. |

I don't know why you want to minimize all windows 
I guess you want to show a wallpaper or something you changed from your app.
In that case if you minimize all windows user has to restore them back and also the last active window position is lost.
You may consider Show/Toggle desktop instead.
This can be done as follows :
In notepad copy this :
| Code: | [Shell]
Command=2
IconFile=explorer.exe,3
[Taskbar]
Command=ToggleDesktop
|
and save as anyname.scf in the same directiory as the .dsc.
You can change the IconFile= to any icon you want.
Now in VDS add:
| Code: |
SHELL open,anyname.scf
|
under a button.
Click the button - desktop is shown.
Although looks a little unprofessional it works on all window versions and any VDS versions.
I dont know how to send this explorer command directly without a scf file 
If you are interested in the above one you can get it as a package here:
