Where is it in WinXP? Sucks that Windows evolved back into Win 3.11...

Yeh, but that physically requires me to lift my hand off of the mouse, or else set down my beer to use the other one to do it.

Exactly.

For Win98SE, the properties on mine says C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\Show Desktop.scf. If you accidentally deleted it, you should be able to find that file and copy it to your task bar.

Actually it is not because you would then need windows key + shift + m to get your programs back. Windows key + d is the bestest of all. It minimizes all and maximizes all.

wow..... I can't thank you enough for starting this thread.


holy sh!t, I've been on XP for 6 months, and I didn't know where that thing was. I thought they just left it out. Wow. And I'm going for my A+ certification???!?

and only requires one hand to use might I add so you can keep either the mouse, or the beer

Don't fret FSU, The A+ Cert is more geared for your Hardware knowledge and general knowledge of software including the OS. XP is clearly more of a (MS) Marketing System tool than useful OS (Operating System)unfortunately.
