Well, I doubt that it is really the answer that you are looking for, but on Windows 7, you could save this as a powershell script somewhere:
$dllInfo = '[DllImport("user32.dll")] public static extern bool ShowWindowAsync(IntPtr hWnd, int nCmdShow);'
Add-Type -MemberDefinition $dllInfo -name NativeMethods -namespace Win32
foreach($proc in Get-Process){
$hwnd = $proc.MainWindowHandle
# Restore window
[Win32.NativeMethods]::ShowWindowAsync($hwnd, 4) | Out-Null
}
Then bind a key to run that script.
