"Show Desktop" Button Changed

[Joe]

I loaded Sim Town (kiddie version of Sim City), and now
the "Show Desktop" button in my Quick Launch toolbar
doesn't work. The picture changed to a red house, and
clicking it does nothing. Any ideas how I can reclaim my
show desktop button? (Maxis web site has no info on this)

Joe,

Installing Sim City hijacks the .SCF file association. Type REGSVR32 /i SHELL32 in the RUN box to reset the association. If not, try the SCF association registry fix from Doug Knox's site:
