You know the button I am talking about. The one in the quick launch toolbar that will minimize all windows and return you to the desktop.
Well, for some reason mine disappeared or I accidentally dragged it off. Anyway, can anyone tell me how to restore this. I know there was a thread about this same thing but I can't find it and I am not finding what I am looking for on google.
Win2k Pro. And yes I do know the keyboard shortcuts but I would really like to have the button back. Thanks.
Well, not sure that it's the same for win2k as win98 (I got), but here's something:
Mine is a .SCF file with the following content:I attached it zipped cause it won't attach normally. If mine isn't right for win2k, just ask someone to attach the right one for you.Code:[Shell]
Command=2
IconFile=explorer.exe,3
[Taskbar]
Command=ToggleDesktop
Problem solved. Thank You very much.
Just fyi really...
If you have a Windows keyboard, you can do the same through a keyboard shortcut.
Press WINDOWS key + M to minise all windows.
Press WINDOWS key + SHIFT key + M to maximise all windows.
umm... also...
Windows Key + D does a minimize and maximize :)
OK, whilst we're on a roll...
Windows+E -> Loads explorer
Windows+F -> Loads find file
Windows+R -> Loads run
can't remember anymore for now :)
> Windows+R -> Loads run
That only works if you hit the windows key first, becuase run's a shortcut on the start menu... By that token, d, p, s, c, h are shortcuts, too.
Just another one to add to the confusion... ;)
To restore Quick Launch (or any other toolbar thingy) or to add another toolbar right click on task bar->toolbar->quick Launch (or whatever). There's other options in that menu too, like minimize/maximize.
To kill any toolbar right click->close (or just kick the crap out of your machine but, although this latter technique is effective, some would argue that it's perhaps too effective).
Eh? I don't get you? On win98 + winNT (maybe others) you can hit the windows key and R and up pops the run dialogue box. What are all these about: d, p, s, c, h ?Quote:

yeah... I have a feeling Govt was on crack when he wrote that... none of those shortcuts work in XP either... well, other than Windows+D
Of course they work. But first you have to click on the Start button or the Windows button, so the Start menu is open. Then those shortcuts will work.
:cool:
