From Don===
Dear Webby, I have Windows XP Home Edition with
service pack 1. Can you please tell me where in Win XP
I might find the icon for the desk top, or how I may create
one? I have searched every where in the computer that i
can think of. but am unable to find a desk top icon or how
to create one, thanks for your help.
Don


Dear Don
The Windows Key plus D works the best for that.
However, if you have an ancient keyboard without the
Windows key, you can make a taskbar icon for it.

Make a text file with notepad or wordpad and save it
into c:\windows\    as
Show Desktop.scf
Paste this into that file:
__________________
[Shell]
Command=2
IconFile=explorer.exe,3
[Taskbar]
Command=ToggleDesktop
___________________

Then make a shortcut to that file,
drag that shortcut to the desktop
drag it from the desktop to the task bar next to the
START button.

That taskbar icon will then work the same as if you had hit
the Windows key and "D".

Have FUN
Dear Webby
