One point of clarification: the shortcut discussed here hides your windows, it does not minimize them (you can use Windows Key + M to do that). When you’re done reviewing or opening your previously hidden desktop files (or once the coast is clear), just press Windows Key + D again to unhide or restore your windows. Buttons on the taskbar (in the quick launch area for Windows 98 to Windows Vista, and at the far right of the taskbar for Windows 7 and 8) also let you hide open windows and bring the desktop front and center, but a keyboard shortcut is often quicker and the preferred method for power users. In fact, this latter use has been awarded its own Urban Dictionary definition. Second, it can act as a quick and dirty privacy feature, letting you hide whatever you were working on if snooping eyes enter the room.
First, it helps you easily access desktop files that are hidden under multiple layers of active windows without having to minimize or reposition each window. You can quickly hide all open windows with the Windows Key + D shortcut
