How do you install an icon show desktop in my taskbar (similar to that available on my XP machine)?
Or y at - it a faster way to get back on the desktop when many windows are open on the screen?
Allurfine/Chimel:
The 'show desktop' icon is redundant, good stuff... OK, so, we'll put it all together:
(1) How to create icon "Show Desktop" - and place it on start bar (or indeed in any folder you want that you have write access to the disk):
Click Start and run, type notepad in the Open box, and then click OK.
Copy carefully and then paste the following text in the Notepad window:
[Shell]
Order = 2
IconFile = explore .exe, 3
[Taskbar]
Command = ToggleDesktop
On the file menu, click Save as, and then save the file to your desktop as "Show desktop.scf". The show, the desktop icon is created on your desktop.
Once you have created the icon, you can also drag on the start bar and access it from the start menu if you wish.
2) show the desktop on the taskbar icon:
On the right bar or a task far beyond date and time zone.
(3) computer access from desktop with Windows-D.
* There you go. Here are 3 ways you can use show desktop. All are redundant. That said, Windows is full of redundancies if you want to get technical - I'm guessing another synonym for this is "user friendly". Use any method you want. I think the point is to have as many options as possible and use Windows in any way works best for you.
Good luck

How do you install memory in Pavilion 17z-F200 (part L2H13AV)
How do you install memory in Pavilion 17z-F200 (part L2H13AV)?
HP seems to have no guide available for this model maintenance. What is happening with this?
I took one the Pavilion 17z-F100 (sent by mistake). There not all removable panels on the underside. And the User Guide for 17z-F200 indicates that it will be the same (assuming that ever happens).
I'll probably have to remove the outer shell together to install the memory (or replace the hard drive, when the time comes). But, any laptop I worked on in the past had its own special place for screws hidden or something special to that of disassembly. So having an interview guide is a necessity to prevent the pests from plastic, clips, guides, mounts etc..

You can right click an empty area of the taskbar at the bottom of the screen, click Properties and then on the tab taskbar, properties, uncheck "Use Aero Peek to preview the desktop" after you do this, the rectangular box will always be there and you can click it to show the desktop, but it will appear with the mouse just sit there.

How do you install the print driver FAX for m1536dnf in OS x Lion?
Hi Forum,
I have a Laserjet M1536dnf all-in - one network. When I install the driver under OSX Snow Leopard and Ubuntu, I have two shows of printers in the preferences panel. Regular printer and printer-fax MACHINE, so I can print to fax directly.
But when I install the driver in OS x Lion, it shows only one printer, so I can't print to FAX directly. I checked the apple software update, there is no more than an update as well.
Someone knows how can I install the FAX printer driver in OS x Lion?
Thank you
Noodle
Hello
Offer the product at a time print, scan and ability by retrieving the driver of the Apple software update.
If you have installed the full features software, remove it by running the uninstall HP program located under Applications > CEJA-Packard and be sure to remove the existing print queue.
Then Champagne for any update of HP software available.
If the recovery of the printer HP Software Update fails for any reason, install the bundle HP Printer Drivers 2.8 below.
Then the fax printer must be detected as well:
http://support.Apple.com/downloads/DL907/en_US/HPPrinterDrivers2.8.dmg
Kind regards

Hey jennyanderson99
as you ask specifically about active desktop, here's what it is, or in your case what she was before vista released
Active Desktop is a feature of Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.0 Windows Desktop Update that allows the user to add optional contentHTML on the Office, as well as a few other features. This feature was designed to be installed on theWindows 95 operating system then in force. It was also included inWindows 98 and later Windows operating systems up toWindows Vista, where the feature wasdiscontinued. This corresponds to the version ofInternet Explorer 4.0 to 6.x, but not Internet Explorer 7.
HTML users can add in place of the ordinary wallpaper as independent resizable desktop items. Items available online can be regularly updated and synchronized so that users can stay up-to-date without visiting the site in their browser.
Active Desktop works as the technology of desktop widget that allows users to add customized their desktop information.
Here is information for active desktop for xp

information from wikipedia about active desktop are less than
http://en.Wikipedia.org/wiki/Active_Desktop
The introduction of the Active Desktop brand attempt by Microsoft to take advantage of the ephemeral trendtechnology push led by PointCast. Active Desktop has imposed a number of "channels" ofdesktop computers that provided information updated continuously, such as headlines and stock quotes, without the user to open aWeb browser of the user.
Active Desktop debuted during the publication of 1997 of Internet Explorer 4.0 for Windows 95 and Windows NT 4.0, install it as a feature of theWindows Desktop Update offered to users during the upgrade option. The Windows desktop update is commonly referred to as (bad) Active Desktop itself, but it is actually a whole Windows shell to level v4.0 to v4.71, or v4.72, with many changes in the Windows interface, resulting in a level look and features almost indistinguishable from the Windows 98, then again to-be-released. Features include the ability to allow uppercase filenames (the old v4.0 Desktop would forcibly filenames in title case uppercase), the dynamic tracking file selection click configurable, customizable by HTML, QuickLaunch folder display settings mini buttons on the taskbar next to the Start button, improved to Start Menu drag and drop re-organization of the elements and menus contextual click right to rename point etc. With the update, Windows Explorer now has an address bar in Internet addresses that can be entered and driven seamlessly.
Active Desktop was widely regarded as a failure, with one of the main problems being its use high system and reduction of the stability of the system resources. Although not used[citation needed], the availability of Active Desktop was decisive for the legal argument Microsoft in antitrust case of United States v. Microsoft , that Internet Explorer has a feature of Windows, not a separate product.
Later use
Windows Vista has replaced the Active Desktop withWindows Sidebar (now called Gadgets Windows Desktop fromWindows 7), which also allows the components to add to the desktop. Windows XP is the newest operating system from Microsoft to support Active Desktop. It seems that the 64 bit version of Windows XP supports is no longer Active Desktop. It provides always the option to display Web pages and channels built with MicrosoftChannel Definition Format (CDF) on the desktop.
Display HTML features are now mainly used for creating wallpapers originals and adding the fields of desktop search. For example, a user can copy the following code to display the search box of Wikipedia on the desktop:
