Show Desktop

[JAX]

I have lost functionality of the "Show Desktop" icon on the taskbar. After
deleting the icon, I used Kelly's script to restore "Show Desktop" to the QL
bar. (Thank you Kelly) Even after that, when I click the icon, I get the
message, "There was a problem sending the command to the program". All other
icons work as they should.

Any suggestions as to how to fix this will be appreciated.

TIA, JAX

Jax,

Do you have Zone Alarm installed?

Hi Ramesh,

Yes, I have used ZA for years with no problem. Is there something new that
might effect Desktop?

Bingo!!

I disabled ZA and Show Desktop worked. I opened ZA and couldn't find
anything that looked like it might effect Desktop. Do you, or anyone else,
know of a fix for it?

Yes. Allow unblock Windows Explorer access. If the problem persist, uninstall and reinstall ZA.

I mean, allow Windows Explorer to access the internet. Also, what version of ZA you have?

I took it you meant that and allowed access, and all is well. I have version
4.5.583.000. As far as I know, it is the latest version, updated a week or
so ago.
