I ran into a problem. I tried to use Ashampoo
winoptimizer to cleanup the registry of invalid entries.
After that, I ran into some problems with OFFICE XP which
i was able to clear using the OFFICE installation CD. But
now my "show desktop" qucik launch isn't working.
I tried to follow the directions given in MS KB article
190355 to restore the file. It is not working. Whenever i
click on "show desktop" icon, it asks me what program to
use?
Can someone help me? Thanx in advance, Shyam.

To create a Minimize All Programs shortcut for your desktop or
taskbar:

Create a shortcut on your desktop with the following path then drag
it to
your taskbar if you want it there.

"C:\Documents and Settings\[yourusernamehere]\Application
Data\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch\Show Desktop.scf"

I tried to do that already but the thing is, the system
is not reading the scf file. even when i click on the
shortcut, it asks me "select the program to use the open
the file showdesktop.scf". Thanx.
