    I know Windows + M will minimize all windows but

    Is there a hotkey to just minimize the active window in XP-Pro?

    Not sure if I would call these shortcuts but:
    ALT+SPACE: Displays the main window's System menu and from the System menu, you can restore, move, resize, minimize, maximize, or close the window)

    In your case:
    ALT + SPACE n (or N) minimizes or r (or R) restores.

    "alt + tab" shifts between windows or tasks.
