Before you install that reg fix...try this:


Right-click anywhere on your desktop.

Create a new shortcut. Click on browse.

In that Window highlight the desktop icon and click next. The path to the shortcut will be displayed in the window click ok.

Next you can choose to rename it whatever you want but by default it is named 'desktop' then click ok.

You should have a shortcut to your desktop on your desktop !!

Drag it to the shortcut tray. Voila !!!

In other words, create a shortcut to your desktop and drag it to the shortcut bar. Hope it helped.

Thanks Cactus for the link.....I didn't even know of this website

LOL

its funny how many there are and how many I dont know of...


***with your advice before using the link......I already did some sort of 'Shortcut' to my desktop but all that does is opens up a WINDOW of the desktop. IT doesn't minimize all the items on the taskbar 2 the taskbar. Now all is well thx to this "Restore Show Desktop Icon" tool


~thanks again S
