Another Win 7 question. In Win XP I had an icon in my quick launch bar to
return to desktop from anywhere. How can I get such an icon/command in Win
7? Thanks for your time. Otto

The tiny glassy box at the far right of your taskbar, after the clock.

A clarification here: "the far right" is correct if the task bar is in
its default position at the bottom of the screen, or at the top of the
screen. But if the task bar is at the left or right (positions that
*I* prefer with today's wide monitors), that "tiny glassy box" is at
the bottom, rather than the far right.

While we are clarifying this, *I* use small icons in the taskbar so the glass box is a "tiny glassy box"
but I believe the default taskbar icons are large so then it would be a "small glassy box".

I don't know whether the icon size has an effect on its size or not,
but its width depends upon the width of the task bar.

Just shake your mouse to minimize all your windows.
