I switched from ME to XP Pro. I would like my old taskbar
back if possible. The "show desktop" Icon next to the
start button instead of minimizing 6 windows is a big
deal. Also can I make the items on the task bar stack left
to right instead of all piling up together (ie. Internet
Explorer 5). I read the post below about the show
desktop, but I dont have a folder called application data.
 
Robert,

Right-click Taskbar > Toolbars > Enable QuickLaunch

If the showdesktop icon is alone missing,
Restore Show Desktop Icon

Alternately, search for the file named showdesktop.scf in your computer by
logging in as administrator. Every user has a copy of this file. Copy it to
your userprofile path here:

c:\Documents and Settings\<<YOUR USER NAME>>\Application
Data\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch
