How to I do that GRH> in xp? Hmm, I have it here... It's a shortcut to C:\Documents and Settings\(my name)\Application Data\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch\Show Desktop.scf, which is a text file that contains the following 5 lines: [Shell] Command=2 IconFile=explorer.exe,3 [Taskbar] Command=ToggleDesktop Do you have the QuickLaunch toolbar turned on? Right-click on an empty spot on the taskbar and click Toolbars and make sure QuickLaunch is selected. Or, right-click on the Start button, select Properties, select the Taskbar tab, and make sure Show QuickLaunch is turned on. --Scott.
