Hey guys,

real brain power tester here...
In WinXP, how can I get the show desktop icon back in the quick-launch? :mrgreen:

It is practically impossible to teach good programming style to students that have had prior exposure to Basic; as potential programmers they are mentally mutilated beyond hope of regeneration.

Copy and paste the following lines into a Notepad file.

Help with Code Tags

(Toggle Plain Text)

[Shell]
Command=2
IconFile=explorer.exe,3
[Taskbar]
Command=ToggleDesktop

Save the file to your Desktop as whatever.scf.
Next left click on the file you just created and drag it down to the Quick Launch bar and release.
Or you could use WINDOWSKEY-D instead of all this.
