Quick Launch

[Philip Schofield]

For some reason my Quick Launch icon that used to open my desk top over the
top of whatever window was on my screen has now defaulted to a window from
Windows Explorer which shows the desktop directory in Windows Explorer
format.
How do I convert the focus of the icon back to the desktop proper with
background photo etc.

Windows Explorer which shows the desktop directory in Windows Explorer
format.

Right click on the icon and select:-

Send to|Notepad

The file that opens should be as follows:-

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



If it is not then change it to that and save. Make sure that the name
of the file remains at:-

Show Desktop.scf

and that it is saved into this folder:-

C:\Documents and Settings\your user name\Application
Data\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch

Otherwise I don't know what!!
