Hi Chris,
I don't see a reason why you need a shortcut to access the Desktop
folder, as minimizing the open windows should provide access to your
own Desktop. Perhaps I'm missing something?
The Desktop is a namespace item which shows files and folders from the
user's desktop folder (%userprofile%\desktop), all users desktop folder
(%allusersprofile%\desktop) *plus* other namespace icons such as
Internet Explorer, My Computer etc.

Ramesh, a shortcut to the desktop "folder" is a quite reasonable
request. I often wish i could simply open the deskop "folder" from my
quick launch bar.
A need exists for a method to view the "desktop" folder while bypassing
the mass-minimizing of all windows/programs. I often mutitask
extensively, and routinely have multiple windows open and layered in a
specific manner. I am fully aware that clicking the "desktop" quick
launch button minimizes & RESTORES the windows as they were originally,
but this is an un-necessarily complicated method of opening/viewing the
desktop contents. The simple fact that the desktop "folder" is
considered the top of the windows directory tree, and *can be viewed as
a folder in an explorer window *legitimizes the need for a shortcut to
view it as such.
Anyone have any suggestions?
