No Show Desktop Icon

[Fra Snelgrove]

Having purchased numerous pcs with Windows XP Professional
I am being asked where can the users find the Show Desktop
Icon that used to reside on the quicklauch bar in Windows
98 / 2000.

The file desktop.scf cannot being found when I search the
C drive of the XP machines.

Has it been renamed? Is there a way of accessing it or
has it been completely removed?

Your help is appreciated

Fran

Option 2:

Alternately, search for the file named showdesktop.scf in your computer by
logging in as administrator. Every user has a copy of this file. Copy it to
your userprofile path here:

c:\Documents and Settings\<<YOUR USER NAME>>\Application
Data\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch

its @ C:\Documents and Settings\Default
User\Application Data\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick
Launch\Show Desktop.scf

WinKey+D works too.

Any advice given is my attempt to show appreciation for all
the excellent help I've received here but I'm no MVP so it
may only apply NUGS. Personal attacks, nitpicking & criticism
of anything but content will NOT be responded to. Those
posters should spend their time taking the test @
