Hi!
I'm runnning XP at home and using 98 at work. On 98, there is a icon in the toolbar at the bottom that is used to toggle back to the desktop, which I handy for toggling between documents that are opened and others saved on the desktop.
However I don't have this icon at home on XP. Can someone please tell me how I can get this convenient little icon onto my home computer??
Also, when I'm typing info, eg, my email address, etc, it displays previous entries, eg, my old email addresses, etc. How can I clear these??
Many thanks!!

Open an empty Notepad file. Give it these contents:

[Shell]
Command=2
IconFile=explorer.exe,3
[Taskbar]
Command=ToggleDesktop

And save it as
Show Desktop.scf

Put it on your Quick Launch bar or wherever else you want it.
