No, I think he means the "Show desktop" icon to the right of the

notification area (system tray).



AFAICS there is no way to move it. Maybe a registry hack will do it, but

it's not worth the hassle. If the OP wants a "Show desktop" icon elsewhere,

he'll need to create a separate one. Whether that will end up where he

wants it, and remain there, is another matter entirely... -)

So THAT'S what that is. I would say that "icon" is a bit strong...

Just like Windoze. It has been on the right for years.

Lets move it to the right and hide it.

You must have been running Server03, or something, then. Then again,

you weren't.



Windows 7 *IS* better.

It doesn't need to be called Quick Launch and it can be located anywhere.

1. Create an empty folder anywhere you want. I created "D:\Toolbar" (no

imagination).

2. Right click on Taskbar, uncheck "Lock the taskbar," and select

"Toolbars."

3. Select "New toolbar" and navigate to your new folder.



That's it. Drag items you want to add onto the toolbar or add them as

shortcuts to the folder.

Better than Vista, for sure, but AFAIC, Windows peaked with Windows 2000.

Windows 7 in NT4/2K "mode" (e.g. Classic Theme, old-school

configuration, UAC disabled) is the greatest Windows ever. I prefer

to call it WinNT 6.1.

If you haven't discovered it already, you should look at this:

The Taskbar and Start Menu changes in Windows (R) 7 (tm)

[Microsoft Corporation - patents enforceable/pending]

are overwhelmingly innovative, useful new features. You could almost

say they were "my idea" [quoted phrasing used with expressed

permission of Microsoft Corp.].



(Or a number of people's "idea(s)".)

But this one already has the "Show Desktop" shortcut in it. For somebody

who doesn't know how to enable the shortcut in another Toolbar, this is

definitely the easy way to go.

Repeat that paragraph often enough and you'll might begin to believe it. Win

7 is a triumph of design over function.



The only useful thing I've found with the new taskbar is the ability to

close various windows of my choice when hovering over a tab. And the only

reason that is useful is because I have my taskbar at the top of the screen,

and often the control button to close the window ("X") is hidden beneath it.



And as for the Start Menu, well, I installed Classic Windows Start menu as

soon as I found it!

You "could" say they were "your idea" but then you would be lying! Oops.
