I had set up quick launch but I did not have the Icon (ie shortcut) to the "show desktop" icon
with your information I found the location of the show desktop program under
windows\system32\config\systemprofile\application data\microsoft\internet explorer\quick launch
I put the icon on my desktop and draged it to quick launch
i can now toggle my desktop on or off (ie hide all open windows)
the rainy's program is now available for calendar,todo,appointments at one click
thank you again
u is the Answerdude!!!!
