Assume I have multiple windows open (browser, WinExplorer, Word,...).

Is there a way to hide all these windows at once to show only desktop, then double click on one of the icons on desktop to start another prgm and finally re-show the previously hidden windows again?

If your keyboard has the "windows" key you can do this by pressing windows and "d." Press again to redisplay all windows.

or open the new program, click on hold the window like you're going to move it and shake the window (mouse)

On a PC, try pressing Alt+Tab simultaneously to minimize each window individually or use taskbar buttons to minimize all open windows at once.
