I frequently need to switch directly from a web site to
the desktop, I used to have the "Show Desktop" icon to
the right of the Start menu. Recently I upgraded to XP
and I can't configure the icon to reside in the same
place as it was in my prior operating system. Does anyone
have any idea? Thanks.
 
Right click the Taskbar, select Toolbars, Quick Launch. If the Quick
Launch toolbar is already visible, see www.dougknox.com, Win XP Utilities,
Restore Show Desktop Icon.
