How do you minimize all windows in OSX Snow Leopard? I found a page on the internet that said option+command+M but that only minimed one window, not all of them.
 
Option+Command+M only minimizes all windows of the active application to the Dock. It doesn't work with all applications. F11 (or fn+F11, depending on your keyboard/configuration) will hide/show all windows to reveal your desktop, but it doesn't minimize windows.
 
You can also hide applications.

Or use Command + Exposé (F3). To me that's the easiest way, without having one icon to click (like show desktop in Windows).
