    Icon or key combo to show all programs opened


    I can't find where I might have asked this already and I forgot answer. I used to have a taskbar icon that is used to show all apps/files/programs that are open, displayed in miniature on the desktop. I removed icon from taskbar because I had no intention of using it. Now I can't find it to put back and don't remember the keys to punch to accomplish same thing. Occasionally I hit something inadvertently and this happens, reminding I'd like to call up the screens intentionally.

    I use the colored line under the icons on the Taskbar that show the program/s that are open. Macintosh has a dot under Dock that show the same. Faintly visible under Firefox, File Explorer and Mahjong icons on this Snip:

    Yes. Option 1, show taskview button on taskbar, is the ticket. Cool.
