Desktop Icon

Sure is.

Just turn on the Quick Launch toolbar by right-clicking the start bar, going to toolbars, and quick launch. It works just like the toolbar in Win98SE.

We're on Service Pack 6a and I use the toolbar/desktop shortcut for the same thing.I think it installs with the Internet Explorer upgrade on the Service Pack CD's.

You can use right click on the taskbar and then select "minimize all"

Also you can create a file that does this(suppose you have IE version>4.0 installed)

file name: "Show desktop.SCF"

****INPORTANT the extension should be "SCF"
-----filecontents:

[Shell]
Command=2
IconFile=explorer.exe,3

[Taskbar]
Command=ToggleDesktop
-----End of file contents

When you doubleclick on this file all your windows should minimize.

You can place this file on your "quick launch" toolbar - it is usually in directory "C:\WINDOWS\Application Data\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch"

Hope this stuff is useful for you,

In addition, you can use the Windows-M key combination if you have a Windows key on your keyboard.

OT:
Other Windows key combinations that I use frequently are R-Run, F-Find, and E-Explorer

When we receive Nt from the factory (DELL),
The quick launch is unavailable due to I.E.
5.0 installed. You can either uninstall
5.0 & install 4.0 w/ the active desktop. (I start from Scratch anywayto create images)That option gives you the quick launch w/ desktop icon. One click for both functions.
Then update your browser.
