Not working on final release?
Hi Victor, sorry to bother you again but since installing the retail version of windows 7 home I'm unable to put show desktop on the taskbar.
If I drag it to taskbar it gets pinned either to windows explorer or to my computer, it doesn't stay directly on the taskbar, I have to click on windows explore or my computer and then its there like a jumplist. any suggestions? |

This didn't work for me either, but I found the shortcut in the Quicklaunch folder in Brinks tutorial " Quicklaunch - Enable or Disable " ,Right clicked on it to send to desktop ( create shortcut ). Then followed Charbroil57's tutorial on how to pin the Recycle bin to the Taskbar and that worked for me, I don't know if there is an easier way to go about it ?

Thanks Derekimo, I've tried that and it works but its not ideal as I have to keep the icon eiter down one side or the other.
The way the icon behaved after Viktor's tutorial was what I needed, hope he'll be able to fix it. Thanks |

Creating the desktop icon on the task bar
Hi,
This is totally minor, but I was wondering if you could tell me what I did wrong or what the fix might be: I was able to install the desktop button on my task bar, but it is not actually the desktop icon...can I get the icon image? Thanks! |

Unfortunately this did not work for me. When I wanted to save the Notepad file, I get this message. I am puzzled. I guess I will use Win+D.

Show desktop shortcut Hiya! I'm on Seven right now. I'm pleased with what I see. There is ONE problem though. On Vista and earlier, there was a quick launch bar that had a "Show desktop" button. The button minimizes everything to show the desktop. Now, is there a way to have it on Windows 7's task bar? Thanks... |
