That Desktop Icon

[Sebastian Terrier]

Where can I find it. The little one that I can just click on it one the bottom bar and get to the desktop background.

I'm on PC. The dirty cousin of Napple.

You either need to ....

1) Enable Quick Launch Toolbar -> (right click on an open area of the Taskbar and left click on Quick Launch so it has a checkmark)

or

2) If already enabled and icon not there....
Create the file Show Desktop.scf using Notepad in
C:\Documents and Settings\<Username>\ Application Data\Microsoft\Inter net Explorer\Quick Launch

Show Desktop.scf

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

Any other shortcuts of use?

[fix-it]

Shortcuts on PC are not by default like Mac, for example Holding Shift during boot up = Boot safe mode or by pass system files. But when putting in an audio CD, will prevent CD Player from playing.

Some more usefull:
Shift + Del: Delete programs/files without throwing into the recycle bin.
WINKEY + Tab: Cycle through open programs through the taskbar.
WINKEY + CTRL + F : Display the search for computers window.
Press Alt-Tab repeatedly to cycle through larger icons representing open programs—even some that don't show up on the taskbar. Pressing Shift-Alt-Tab cycles the other way, in case you missed the application you wanted.

My all time favourite: Alt + F4 will shut down open applications one after another just keep on going, you will finally end up turning off XP... Then it is time to turn on a Mac
