  • 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 to add a shortcut on the desktop for streets &amp; trips 2013 for windows 7

    Just installed MS streets and trips 2013, I do not see anywhere how to send a shortcut on the desktop. Tried to do a right click on the programs, but this option is not started.

    I don't have the application under test, but normally you right click on the exe programs (or registering in the program menu) and either "create shortcut" or "send to" and then "desktop".

    If the options are not there, your office, do new right click - shortcut, find your exe file of programs (the actual file you want to run) and and we should end up with a shortcut on your desktop to your program. (hopefully :-))
