Forgive me if I've missed the obvious, but I'm looking for a way to minimize all windows I'm working in when I have several open. Is there a shortcut for this or something?

Thanks!
Jefra

Just hit the tab key to hide all the tool bars and palettes, hit it again to bring them back. Wayne

Thanks Wayne, but I'm looking to hide all the windows I have open. For example, if I'm working on several photos at once (ran a batch action or something) and want to minimize all of them - how would I do this?

Thanks!

If you double click the top of the palette it will close down to a small bar (minimised) you can also dock the palettes to the palette well (at the top right) by clicking the drop down box on the palette and select dock to palette well, this closes any palette when you select a tool. You best option though is shift+tab that hides just the palettes (leaving the tool bar and options bar. Wayne

Thanks! But it's not the palettes I want minimized, it's the several photos I'm working on that I want to minimize.

How can I do that?

Actually, this is one thing I'd like to know too. I wish there was a shortcut avaliable for minimzing all/switching to next document/maximizing all, but so far I haven't found one.
