#85615

How can I get mine back on quick launch?

#85636

The location of the quick launch is here:

C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch

and theres a way to get it back, but i can't remember...

*remembering*

#85638

Open Notepad and enter the following text:

[shell]

Command=2

IconFile=explorer.exe,3

[Taskbar]

Command=ToggleDesktop

Save the new file as Show Desktop.scf then drag and drop the icon on the Quick Launch bar or whatever location you want the shortcut to appear.

wierd but it works only when i put it in quick launch, when i put it in the dock it just gives me the attention effect.

If you want to Show Desktop using the keyboard, press Win+D.

If you want to do it using the mouse, download iEx by siwu. That program emulates Expose on the PC. One thing it can do is hide all the windows. (That's how Mac users execute a Show Desktop command.) It can also show a thumbnail for each open window and let you click on one to activate that window.

The advantage to either method is that you save a little room on your Dock. :moon:

I will come with a "keypress docklet" soon. It will allow you to set a shortcut combo that is emulated on click.

Use this.It's a small app that sits in your windows sys tray and minimises everything with a single click and maximises with shift click.

To use it in the dock just drag the .exe into the dock as usual and put /now in the arguments line. It's a bit annoying having to shift click to re maximise everything, but at least it works!!

Oh, and you have to register for their newsletter (free) to get the activation code, otherwise you get a countdown startup

this works for me, although i'm using y'z dock (but it should be the same): http://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=121029

Drag and drop Show Desktop.vcf worked until 1.0 RC1 and then its stopped working !

Otherwise, pressing Win + D will also hide OD ....

@Jib, that's because you don't have it "Always On Top."

If you want to use the keyboard you can press Win+M to minimize all windows and Shift+Win+M to un-minimize them, or install iEx (the default Hotkey for hiding all windows is F11, but it can be changed).

See the attached file for a show-desktop docklet.

Try this... worked for me... It's just some vba scripts that u can drap&drop to the dock and they work fine... (Y)

#88052

Antivirus software might not run vb scripts due to the fact that .vbs are marked as malicious. Besides, personally, I find the docklet easier....just add to the dock

#88258

use iExpose and press f11
