When Running a show you see some icons bottom left of the screen a
arrow either way a pencil and a square, its the square you click the
choose switch programs
Is this what you wanted

See if Alt Tab does what you need (then click the desktop icon)

Not Really Simon.
If there is a program running that's fine, but I can't see how to get back
to the desktop to use an icon from it. Running programs have the powerpoint
as their background (if not maximised of course).
I suppose what I need is a way to minimise the show (Window + M doesn't work)

I have tried Alt + Tab but can't see a Desktop Icon anywhere.
Can you explain please?

Hi,
Alt plus tab pulls up the desktop when running Vista. Try Window key plus M.
That gets you to the desktop. Then Alt plus tab will scroll and reactivate
the windows as long as you go to PowerPoint Slideshow. Of course, this all
depends on your Windows version.

And if all else fail:
From your keyboard, hold down the Windows key and press D. This is
equivalent to the Show Desktop icon on taskbar, which will minimize all the
windows and bring you back to the desktop.

Hi Steve
Thanks for that, forgot about the Quick Launch icon for the desktop in the
Task bar (I had that switched off). Great.
